it could be some driver you were installing, and it got corrupted somehow.

whooops, sorry ran into a few probs when reinstallin my computer, it was wierd, kept not being able to find the CAT files because the paths were wrong somewhere. But it worked jsut fine in VirtualPC and VMWare. Oh well.. I'll edit this post when I catch up, and wake up. EDIT: just to test, not really to fix the problem. REM out the line OEMSETUP.EXE then when it gets to the command prompt, try to access the CDROM. also, I was looking and the variable %CDROM% is never actually defined. So.....you may want to try removing /L:%CDROM% or changing it to /L:D

don't know what to tell ya.....can't very well give you another key, and can't tell you how to make a WinXP install into a Corp to work around it.

you may want to open that file in WinIMage instead of notepad. You may see it in better light.

there should be some section with the INF file about installing....it contains the actual commands. Like AddReg or DelReg or something. RunDll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 ..\Unattend\RegEdits.inf Replace DefaultInstall with the section from your INF, and ..\Unattend\Regedits.inf with the path to your INF file.

whooops, I knew I forgot to do something..... Lets see what I can whip up really quick....(mind you, I've never actually installed Win95. I went straigth from 3.1 to 98, it was greatness)

instead of REG ADD %KEY%\035 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\apps\flashget\fgf140.exe /S" /f in your batch file, it would be start /wait systemdrive%\apps\flashget\fgf140.exe /S that's it. If you had indeed read the guide, you would have saw that RunOnceEX is in the advanced topics, while the majority is not.

telling you how to do it would be against forum rules. it is not legal to change your OEM copy to a Corporate one. If you had a legit copy of Corp, then you would follow the same steps as on flyakite's website. Nothing special.

it's probally NOT mup.sys when it lists in safemode on start, those are the ones that have been loaded. Perhaps its the next one that's causing the problem.

i shall attempt it later, just for you

/qb not /gb

i dunno.... nothing appears on screen? make sure in the properties of hte virtual system its set to capture the keyboard input. I install stuff via floppy while testing just to see if it works. My Win98 startup disk also works, and it's dos. True not full DOS but still.

@msbhi22 he did say he kept his Windows up to date. And considering Sp1 is over a year old, he shoud have it if he's up to date like he says. As for why Windows is buggin down, you may want to run a virusscan/remove adware/spyware, and a defrag if your so inclined.

@XPC-001 like Maverick already said you don't need to burn it to test it. Load the ISO onto a virtual drive using Alcohol 120% or Daemon, then capture the virtual in VirtualPC to test it. as for which format is better....I prefer +'s They're closer to the DVD spec so there are theoretically less incompatibilities with standalones. Also, the + format won't have the same issue - does with newer media on Older drivers.

i had this happen once, but all I did was reinstall and it was fixed.

actually, i think you can get it if you pay microsoft abou 2700 dollars for a MSDN subsscription.

well.... boot from an external drive might not be possible. It would depend on the the BIOS. I have a DVDROM connect to a ATA133 card, but I can't boot to it. Mine have to be directly on the Primary/Secondary buses. Since you'd be in a corporate environment, it may be better if you were able to do an install over a network. That would keep you from moving, and you could do many at once (depending on the network anyways)

yes. All it would basically be, is either a rather LARGE archive that then executes a batch file to install each program, or you could just have a second CD that has the batch file.

HAHA!! hopefully this one might work with SP2

ummm... do read. he was trying to get the isntaller to work without extracting it or or recompressing it. He obviously already had the switch thing down, and he created an MST to modify the MSI.

try mounting the ISO in Alcohol or DaemonTools, and have VirtualPC snag the virtual drive. as for the harddrive, do you have it set to be dynamically increasing or fixed?

is this in VMWare or VirtualPC? do go through the prompts in OEMSetup.exe about it askign to format or whatnot? you may wish to add these lines to the autoexec.bat as well. They are in the orignal autoexec.bat from Microsoft. %CDROM%: cd \CDSource\WIN_98SE\WIN98 then the next line would be OEMSETUP.EXE /K "/IE /NF"

it could be the FEAD extractor needs a fully loaded shell like a few hotfixes do. Never know....

pitty he already has it working.....and it wasn't the transform that was causing the problem.... he was trying to make it so he didn't have to extract it from the original FEAD compressor.

you sure mscdex.exe is on the ramdrive? On a normal Startup disk, it's not compressed. i believe you've run in the same problem that a few others have had. Others used Setup.exe though, but it would freeze. See what happens if your change /L:%CDROM% to /L:D and then change the %CDROM%:\Setup....to D:\Setup
