March 21, 200422 yr @allcan i do all the files of my drivers inserted to drivers.cab in i386 folder???instead of $OEM$\$1\Drivers folders -=[serialzs]=-
March 21, 200422 yr I'm sure u canbut i think u'd have to add those into dosnet txtsetup or even maybe to something else..
March 21, 200422 yr You don't have to put it into the drivers.cab. Compress your files using makecab via cmd and copy your files into the I386 directory. Then you have to edit dosnet.inf and txtsetup.sif.dosnet.inf:[Files]d1,YourFiled1,AnotherFiled1,FilesETCtxtsetup.sif:[sourceDisksFiles]YourFile = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0AnotherFile = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0FilesETC = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0Windows will now install these files on your hd.
March 22, 200422 yr Author can you explain it more clearly... example i have this files: 1.cab as all of my drivers1.inf as the installer of the drivers1.sys as the drivershow can i edit the DOSNET.inf & TXTSETUP.sif?
March 22, 200422 yr Start to compress these files using makecab. Example:makecab C:\path\to\files\1.cabmakecab C:\path\to\files\1.infmakecab C:\path\to\files\1.sysYou should now have 3 new files:1.ca_1.in_1.sy_Copy these 3 files to your I386 directory.Now look for dosnet.inf in the I386 directory and open it with notepad. Add the files to [Files]:d1,1.cabd1,1.infd1,1.sysNow look for txtsetup.sif and open it with notepad. Add the files to [sourceDisksFiles].1.cab = 1,,,,,,,2,0,01.inf = 1,,,,,,,2,0,01.sys = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0
March 22, 200422 yr can we update files in driver.cab like update nvidia driver from ver:28.xx (i think) to newest one... using this method.. and one other thing if we use gosh's reduced source method txtsetup.sif is the only file we have to edit isn't it? i'm sorry if its been discussed before
March 22, 200422 yr Author i tried it for ten time but it won't work here my files:edited TXTSETUP.SIF[SourceDisksFiles]; Drivers for my PCDRIVERS\sm56hlpr.exe = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0DRIVERS\sm56co.dll = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0DRIVERS\domestic.chm = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0DRIVERS\sm56.reg = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0DRIVERS\IntelH51.cat = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0DRIVERS\sm56nt5.cat = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0DRIVERS\IntelH51.inf = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0DRIVERS\Nehcd.inf = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0DRIVERS\smserial.inf = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0DRIVERS\IntelH51.sys = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0DRIVERS\nehcd.sys = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0DRIVERS\nusb2hub.sys = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0DRIVERS\nusbd.sys = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0DRIVERS\SmSerial.sys = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0
March 22, 200422 yr [sourceDisksFiles]; Drivers for my PCDRIVERS\sm56hlpr.exe = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0DRIVERS\sm56co.dll = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0DRIVERS\domestic.chm = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0DRIVERS\sm56.reg = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0DRIVERS\IntelH51.cat = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0DRIVERS\sm56nt5.cat = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0DRIVERS\IntelH51.inf = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0DRIVERS\Nehcd.inf = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0DRIVERS\smserial.inf = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0DRIVERS\IntelH51.sys = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0DRIVERS\nehcd.sys = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0DRIVERS\nusb2hub.sys = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0DRIVERS\nusbd.sys = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0DRIVERS\SmSerial.sys = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0Yep, uhm that's wrong... It has to be like this:[sourceDisksFiles]; Drivers for my PCsm56hlpr.exe = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0sm56co.dll = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0domestic.chm = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0sm56.reg = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0IntelH51.cat = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0sm56nt5.cat = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0IntelH51.inf = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0Nehcd.inf = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0smserial.inf = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0IntelH51.sys = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0nehcd.sys = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0nusb2hub.sys = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0nusbd.sys = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0SmSerial.sys = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0using 1,,,,,,,2,0,0 means your drivers get installed to your System32 directory. If you want them to be installed into the DRIVERS directory use = 1,,,,,,,4,0,0 instead. But the System32 directory is the right place to get them copied to...
March 22, 200422 yr Well I read over this, and I understand it all, but one question. What file types/files are needed to do this? For instance, I want to integrate nVidias display drives. There is a buttload of stuff I know wont been needed. But what will? Just dll, sys, inf, cat files? Hope somebody knows what I mean.
March 23, 200422 yr why don't u just put them all?u can remove *.bmp *.txt *.iss *.inx *.ini *.bin setup.exe *.hlp if u don't want them ikerneldata1.hdri'm not sure what's in data1.cab & data2.cab they're probably setup needed files. also i think it would be best if u edited that post with txtsetup.infits quite long and the portion after your files are unneccessary.

March 23, 200422 yr So, you want to install your drivers, huh?Ok! It's getting a little difficult now. You first have to find out wich of your INF-Files will start the installation of your hardware (modem). Go to: Open the hardware dialog and start to install the drivers manually. Tell Windows to select the folder with the *.inf by yourself. Hopefully the hardware setup will select the right inf itself. Remember this inf file.Open this inf file with notepad. How to proceed depends on what is stored in this file. Show me the whole content of this file and I think about how to execute the installation.
March 23, 200422 yr Author So, you want to install your drivers, huh?YES! how can i use my devices if its not installed the $OEM$\$1\Drivers folder works great but i want mydrivers to be compressed...if there is a method that can extract the *.cab files much great.like DRIVERS.CAB it extracted thats why the plug-n-play drivers and other knowned devices installed and that is my plan to do with my drivers...-=[serialzs]=-
March 23, 200422 yr yea forgot to mention. that nv4disp.inf adds lots of stuff to the registry.i haven't tried to just use the inf but u've to start installing the .inf1 thing u could do (i think, haven't tried it) windows setup already comes with an old version of nv4disp.inf, so it doesn't have the control panel stuff and lots of other files.so change your nv4 inf in the i386 folder with the new driver. and i think u should be okay with it...after adding the inf it'll look for the files mentioned in the inf appropiate for your hardware. so put those files in i386 folder or drivers.cab...
