    Internal Setup Data Structures Are Corrupted

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    Posted · Edited by andregcasal

    Hey Marthax, I have the same problem, I'll try to remove the winnt.sif file just to see if the installations runs better. I'll report soon.

    EDIT: Here are the error pictures, so people can actually see what we are talking about:

    Could you post your winnt.sif file please, so we can compare with ours?

    Here's what's in my winnt.sif:

    [GuiUnattended]DetachedProgram="%SystemRoot%\System32\cmd.exe /c @ECHO something>%SystemDrive%\XPPRO.TAG"

    [Question] Multi Boot with Reduced Sources

    in Multi-Boot CD/DVDs

    Posted · Edited by andregcasal

    Hi Sonic!

    You mean the txtsetup.sif created in C:\, the one inside the $WIN_NT$.~BT folder or the one inside the $WIN_NT$.~LS folder? I guess they're all the same... But i'll test to see, thanks!

    Well, they really are all the same but are "cut down" from the original in DVD\ROOT\XPP1\I386. But anyway that's not the problem, i've allways used the txtsetup.sif created by the reduced source. It's not that either...

    [Question] Multi Boot with Reduced Sources

    in Multi-Boot CD/DVDs

    Posted

    ok let me understand: you Reduced the Size of Source i386, right? Isn't there a possibility that the file that is missing was deleted when you Reduced the Size of Source i386??? 'cause it seems to be okay with your DVD, but you say that the problem persists.... check doing this with a full XP source (try using a Virtual Machine, only to test).
    Yes, I have thought of that, but no way, I used a original, complete, untouched Windows CD. Something is making the installation look for files in the DVD source, just can't figure out what...

    And has you may imagine, if i move the the reduced i386 folder into the DVD root, the installation runs with no problem, but of course i can only use one OS with a reduced source.

    [Question] Multi Boot with Reduced Sources

    in Multi-Boot CD/DVDs

    Posted · Edited by andregcasal

    Thanks guys but I edited SetupSourcePath value in all txtsetup.sif correctly and got the correct identifier files at root (WIN51, ...) too... Problem persists...

    The only diference from this multi boot DVD and the Reduce Size Of Source method is the localion of the source folders, that doesn't seem to work like this. As anyone sucessfully made such a DVD?

    Any guesses?

    [Question] Cant' install DirectX 9b in Server 2003

    in Windows 2000/2003/NT4

    Posted

    No offence taken :) Why shouldn't a VLK be a legal copy?

    I've searched the internet and found that the problem comes from XPize. It seems XPize changes the SHELL32.DLL size above 10MB and that's what's causing the problem. Reducing the size of the SHELL32.DLL under 10MB, by erasing some icons (with Resorce Tuner) solved it, but now some icons disappear and others appear instead of the right ones.

    I've asked XPize if he will be releasing some fix any time soon, but got no answer. I'll try and email him, later today.

    If someone could resolve this problem without editing SHELL32.DLL, please share that info; or if someone could post the original version of SHELL32.DLL to substitute i would be much appreciated.

    Thanks for any help.

    Xpize giving an Illegal system dll relocation err

    in XPize

    Posted

    Hi there, as it turns out, i've found lots of people in the internet with this problem unsolved... Could you be more specific in wich icons could/should be deleted?

    Which program did you used for deleting them?

    What size should the shell32.dll be so the error goes away?

    Xpize, great work by the way, (when) will you release a fix for this?

    [Question] Cant' install DirectX 9b in Server 2003

    in Windows 2000/2003/NT4

    Posted

    Well, can't install SP1 either:

    "update.exe - Illegal System DLL Relocation

    The system DLL user32.dll was relocated in memory. The application will not run properly. The relocation occured because the DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\SHELL32.dll occupied an address range reserved for Windows system DLLs. The vendor supplying the DLL should be contacted for a new DLL."

    So... can't install SP1, can't even run calc.exe... Same problem with SHELL32.DLL, can someone help me please?

    The system DLL user32.dll was relocated in memory. The application will not run properly. The relocation accured because the DLL C:\WINDOWS\system32\SHELL32.dll occupied an address range reserved for Windows system DLLs. The vendor supplying the DLL should be contacted for a new DLL."

    [Question] Multi Boot with Reduced Sources

    in Multi-Boot CD/DVDs

    Posted · Edited by andregcasal

    Hi all!

    I've made my multi boot DVD successfully but i was hoping i could install OS's faster, using the Reduced Size of Source method from Gosh. So i changed the installation folders with the one's created in Gosh's method. It all works well until the GUI-mode setup asks for files inside DVD\I386 folder instead of DVD\ROOT\XP\PRO\i386.

    Here's my setup:

    DVD\ - DVD root

    DVD\i386\ - Where the installation is looking for files.

    DVD\ROOT\XP\PRO\I386 - Place where installation files are.

    I found the layout.inf that contained all files the setup was asking for.

    So I changed some lines to this:

    [sourceDisksNames.x86]

    1 = %cdname%,%cdtagfilei%,,\ROOT\XP\PRO\i386

    2 = "%cd2name%","%cd2tagfilei%",,\ROOT\XP\PRO\cmpnents\tabletpc\i386

    3 = "%cd2name%","%cd2tagfilei%",,\ROOT\XP\PRO\cmpnents\mediactr\i386

    4 = "%cd2name%","%cd2tagfilei%",,\ROOT\XP\PRO\cmpnents\netfx\i386

    100 = %spcdname%,%spcdtagfilei%,,\ROOT\XP\PRO\i386,1

    ...and changed a few more lines too.

    The result was the same, the setup keeps asking for files in DVD\i386.

    Until now I figured out that some file inside DVD\ROOT\XP\PRO\i386 is making the setup point to DVD\i386, just can't find which file is doing that.

    Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

    Unattended Secret: Reducing Size Of Source

    in Unattended Windows 2000/XP/2003

    Posted

    Hi there! Is there any way to use this method for multi boot DVDs?

    I've tryed but didn't worked.

    I've changed both txtsetup.sif (boot and install folder) to reflect the new location of the installation files, but it doesn't seem to work.

    It seems some file(s) inside the I386 folder try to access I386 as if it where in the DVD root.

    My setup:

    DVD\

    DVD\XPP1\ - boot folder

    DVD\ROOT\XPP1\I386\ - install files folder

    As you can see I386 isn't in the root of the DVD. Is there a way around this?

    Both my txtsetup.sif have this:

    SetupSourcePath = "\ROOT\XPP1\"

    Any help would be great! Thanks :)
