creopard Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 I like that idea, if I understood it right...You create a 7z-compressed exe, containing the drivers and compress them again with makecab, so XP can expand them during installation?But what will happen here?DetachedProgram="%SystemRoot%\system32\DRVZ.EXE"How did you compress this (selfextracting?) file, so XP installs the content correctly?

serialzs Posted August 24, 2004 Author Share Posted August 24, 2004 @swgreedyes... it is for the compressed files of your drivers...it expand *.cab files or *.7z files...i see many people here using the 7z compression to compress there files...it is a great application...@allim sorry here is the folder structure....just follow the instructions and im sure it will install your drivers unattended...special thanks:Pyron for the SetDevicePath.exebig_gie for giving me an idea that 7zip application is a great software to use...-=[serialzs]=- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creopard Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 I see....So the folder structure is hardcoded into SetDevicePath.exe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmx Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 great guide thanx now all we got to do is add Bashrat the Sneaky's driver packs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyron Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 @swgreed:No, nothing is hardcoded in SetDevicePath.exe. It just takes a directory as first parameter, scans its structure and adds all found directories to the DevicePath regkey. So you don't have to have a specific directory layout.-- Pyron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Hmmm... an alike guide is already included in Driver Pack LAN, see the Installation instructions.BUT... yours is ALOT better! No need to enter those stupid OemPnPDriverPaths anymore!No words for it... truly amazed Can I add this to my DriverPacks? All credits will of course go to you!(Now the OemPnPDriversPath issue is solved! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyron Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 I didn't realize that this was such a big problem... I am doing it this way for a long time now (well, with my own setup.exe), since I came to the conclusion that uncompressed drivers take too much space on my CD.-- Pyron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilvoice Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 here is a question i didnt see an answer to, when cab/7z ing your drivers, should you compress the sound folder that contains all folder for your sound...Sound\Creative\SBAWE32Sound\Creative\Liveso forth and so onor should you compress the creative folder, or compress the Live folder...I just dont know how the autoit script is going to do all this, so I ask questions, I guess I could get autoit and look, but since you are already doing this, I figured Id ask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your method is also very good (but slightly different purposes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
