Bug in dosnet.inf generation


Recommended Posts

Posted

I've found a bug. It appears when installing in textmode (i386/winnt.exe) on WIN 2000 and only when driver integration is used.

Installer report error:

Setup was unable to create the following directory on the target drive:

<drive letter>:\$\$$\<directory path>

Check the target drive and make sure no files exist with the names that coincide with the target directory. Also check cabling to the drive.

Setup cannot continue. Press ENTER to exit.

My DOSNET.INF file:

[Directories]
# Specification of the source directory structure. All directories
# are relative to the directory where dosnet.inf was found on the
# remote source or the temp directory on the local source.
# Loading and trailing backslashes are ignored -- to specify the root,
# leave the directory field blank or use \.
d1 = \
d11 = \I386\NLDRV\001
d12 = \I386\NLDRV\002
d13 = \I386\NLDRV\003

First of all, i think this path is wrong, should be without i386 directory, because this paths are relative to i386 directory.

Next, i think that setup can't create more than one folder at once.

I've solved this problem adding first NLDRV folder and then it's subfolders:

[Directories]
# Specification of the source directory structure. All directories
# are relative to the directory where dosnet.inf was found on the
# remote source or the temp directory on the local source.
# Loading and trailing backslashes are ignored -- to specify the root,
# leave the directory field blank or use \.
d1 = \
d2 = \NLDRV
d11 = \NLDRV\001
d12 = \NLDRV\002
d13 = \NLDRV\003

Also this path should'n exceed more than 52 characters. This is described here:
