Can't integrate drivers over LAN


Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a copy of XP Pro SP2 on my local harddisk. I wish to integrate some drivers into the installation CD, and I point nLite to the drivers that happens to reside on another computer. When nLite tries to integrate the drivers, I get the following error:

"Invalid path: \\server\nlite"

"Error 53: The network path was not found."

This error pops up 3 times for a single driver.

From "Last Session.ini":

[Main]

Env = 1.4.1 - 2.0.50727.1433.Microsoft Windows NT 5.1.2600 Service Pack 2

Target = Windows XP Professional SP2 - 5.1.2600.2180 - English (United States)

[Drivers]

\\SERVER\nLite\Drivers\NetBook\Lan\BCM4SBXP.INF,0

If the drivers reside locally on the harddisk, then all is well.

Thats to with .NET i think, its a security thing. Only nuhi can fix that :P

The .Net Framework Trusts the local disks on the PC. Any .Net code that

managed to "get there" can do whatever it likes.

It doesn't trust anything else, and that includes your network file

shares. Any .Net code run from these runs in a restricted, security

"sandbox" which severely limits what the code is allowed to do.

Hmmm. The strange thing is that the drivers seems to be integrated anyway, I can find them under "I386\NLDRV\010\". They are also referenced in "TXTSETUP.SIF" and "DOSNET.INF". Stranger yet, there are no problems with integrating hotfixes from a network share.

Not really a big problem, but definitely a bit strange :huh::P

yeah it is strange and annoying, but it is a .NET thing and not caused by vLite :) Baring in mind it might not have copied all the files, so if you know how to use VMWare or a simliar program then i recommend you to do so ;)

P.S. Welcome to the Forums :D
