fdv Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 (edited) http://www.vorck.com/data/sp5files-set9.zipThis fileset should give you a roughly ~720mb install, which is over 100mb more in saved space than Set 8.Known incompatibilities: AVG Antivirus 8 seems to rely on IE.Works with Driverpacks.

yee Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Error message: The entry "uniata.sys" in the [sourceDisksFiles] sectionof the INF file is corrupt or missing.Setup cannot continue. Press any key to exit.I notice that the entry is commented out in layout.inf. The prior file did NOT have it commented out. I tried uncommenting out the line without success.

Martin H Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Wow, that's really impresive, mate!Thanks alot for continuing with refining this awesome win2k fileset of yours!!!(To be honest, then i was affraid that you wouldn't concentrate on your win2k fileset anymore, now that you had changed over to using XP and making a XP fileset, but luckilly, then you proved me wrong!...)I'll be testing it in a few days time or so...Again, thanks alot fdv - YOU ROCK!!!

fdv Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 Thanks guys Yee, sorry about that; comment UNIATA out in TXTSETUP also. I meant to and made an oops. I will fix before replacing set 8 permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yee Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 uniata.sys is commented out in both locations. The error still occurs when the CD is used to install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fdv Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 Odd, but for now until I can get it fixed, put the UNIATA.SYS driver file into i386.I'll look into it a bit later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yee Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Neither having uniata.sys in FDVFILES nor i386 eliminates the error message. On both cases attempted install of the generated ISO (on a virtual machine) results in the error message*************************************Windows 2000 SetupThe entry "uniata.sys" in the [sourceDisksFiles] sectionof the INF file is corrup or missing.Setup cannot continue.

Ambassador Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Good timing of this release. I've discovered my friend has an original Windows 2000 (no service pack whatsoever) cd that I can source from.About help files, though, I have found that xCHM for Windows does a good job viewing them, and it can easily be set as the default help viewer. I know you removed the help directory with this fileset, but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brabant Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Thanks Ambassador, I had kchmviewer until now. xchm used to have problems with the contents tree but that seems to have been fixed. Plus kchmviewer needs 10.6MB Qt libs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin H Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 (edited) @fdv: 1. Would it be possible for me to change NONENG.INF, so that only the danish language is installed, and not the rest ?2. Why do you by default also keep Cyrillic and Hebrew ?3. Why msiexec changed to autostart ?Thanks in advance.

Martin H Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) @FDVIn txtsetup.sif then 'uniata' and 'iteatapi' should be commented out under [sCSI.Load].Btw, is the commenting-out of 'msoe50.inf,Uninstall' in syssetup.inf under [infs.Always] an error or intentional ?@AllUntill FDV gets around to fixing it, then do the txtsetup.sif change by yourself to stop the install from failing during textmode-setup...

fdv Posted April 23, 2009 Author Share Posted April 23, 2009 In txtsetup.sif then 'uniata' and 'iteatapi' should be commented out under [sCSI.Load].OkayBtw, is the commenting-out of 'msoe50.inf,Uninstall' in syssetup.inf under [infs.Always] an error or intentional ?Intentional. I didn't mean to leave it saying "Uninstall" -- it should've said Install, it's for my own testing and use. But the commenting out is intentional.Would it be possible for me to change NONENG.INF, so that only the danish language is installed, and not the rest ?Can you give me the filenames of the Dutch language? Give me those and I'll swap some things aroundWhy do you by default also keep Cyrillic and Hebrew ?Because I have some long, long-time users who are Russian and Israeli I can add Dutch permanently no prob.Why msiexec changed to autostart ?Honestly, I thought that it is supposed to be? Can anyone clarify on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin H Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 (edited) The Windows Installer service i.e. msiexec.exe is set to manual by default(i checked on Black Viper's Win2k-Pro-SP4 services reference page), and i have also never had a problem with having it set as manual, as it always starts on demand for me. It uses about 2.5 megs. When using HFCLEANUP, then i get danish keyboard by making an underscore infront of 'KBDDA.DL' in 'ZZZ_ENGLISH_ONLY.rem', so that the file isn't deleted and isn't filtered out of inf's. I know that this of course isn't HFCLEANUP, but im just refering to that it is the only file i know of(danish keyboard layout file). Is that enough ?I have just finished doing a test install, and i haven't got time now to check everything out, but i will report back later. However, these are the issues during the install:files needed:agt0407.dll on [unknown]MDACrdMe.htm on [unknown]@Registering components:Error registering C:\WINNT\system32\amstream.dllError registering C:\WINNT\system32\bdaplgin.axEdit: OK, back home now... These are the issues i currently found, although maybe i'm wasting my breath here, as it might be bacause of the above errors, i dunno...Anyway, just in case, then i'll list them here:No languages other than english, even though i ammended syssetup.inf as per the instructions.In the start menu, there's a 'Documents' and a 'Help' entry, and the start menu dosen't use small icons anymore.Windows Explorer hasen't been tweaked, so file-extensions are hidden, hidden files are hidden etc. etc..TXT and .LOG files cannot be opened, and Windows ask where to find NOTEPAD.EXE...No 'Show Desktop.scf' in quick launch.The Windows Installer service was set to manual and not auto as per the changelog, but i don't have a problem with that.Thanks in advance, mate Edited April 23, 2009 by Martin H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brabant Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Can you give me the filenames of the Dutch language? Give me those and I'll swap some things aroundSame question as Martin really. What to look for? I can say that with set 8 both NLD and US installs have the same 43 .nls files installed, so I'd guess only reg entries are needed.

PMikeP Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 fdv: If you want things like Agent or Windows Scripting Host, right click on the corresponding INF file (AGTINST.INF, WSH.INF, etc. etc.) and select "install."Dumb question: Right click the WSH.INF in the FDVFILES folder before running hfslip? Does this persist?Or copy WSH.INF into the INF folder in W2K after the installation is complete and install from there?Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
