Welcome to XPCREATE, Jazz!

Hate to surprise you ... but my first suspicion is always user error ...

Find the file XPCREATE.LOG that was used when creating thee CD (or try again, and save that file). It should be in the NEWFILES subdirectory. Attach (not post) with your next post, and I will take a look when I get a chance.

Hi, thanks for the quick reply...

The utility that u've made is really very good and useful... it makes the task of maintaining unattended cd's a lot easier...

the log file that you wanted is attached with this message...

Thanks for looking into my problem personally..

Bye,

Jazz

XPCREATE.LOG

I don't know if that's connected but you are missing some of the updates in SVC-HF1 for example.

havne't check the rest of the directories.

did u remove anything from the cd? (or the source)

or use anything else (other then xpcreate?)

Hi Jazz

I am not a expert by any means, but I was wondering if you tried to make the CD without the added $OEM$\$1 items, and then test it again. Might give us a better clue to where the issue might be. Just a thought...... but am I sure GM will give you better and more helpful advise!

HI, thanks for the replies, i tried doin what u said , but i'm still getting the same error !

GM please let me know what the possible error could be !

Bye,

You got me on this on, Jazz. From the looks of the log, I would not expect an error. Please try again with the slightly modified, attached XPCREATE.CMD, and post your XPCREATE.LOG file once again.

Waiting on you ...

I had the same error.

Got round it by removing some of the extra packages from the SVC-PRE, SVC-WMP & SVC-X2M folders I think.

I'll try and narrow it down, by adding them back it.

(And before you say anything... If I can't work it out then I'll post my log file )

@Jazz - I think it's down to the Q832894 hotfix - which would make sense as it is one of the files that it updates that it is complaining about 'SHLWAPI.DLL'.

I re-downloaded my copy, using the XP Hotfix Auto Downloader by Jono (http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=15555), and there is a difference in filesize:

Yours (and my old version):

01/16/2004 03:37 PM 3,083,512 Q832894.exe

My new version (that works):

13/04/2004 05:51 2,907,904 Q832894e.exe

Don't know where I got mine, but I don't care. All is now happy...

@GM - Top marks on a cracking set of scripts. Talk about easy to use! Keep it up.
