Coolsights2000 Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 Hi all!What do you use to compress compact files back to the format that is in the I386 folder...I am going to replace some some files and what I have is the extracted ones,,cdm.dll I need to put back to cdm.dl_somefile.exe back to somefile.ex_also what is a good site to learn how to install Inf files,,,I have seen some examples but I'm lost and confused as to why and how...Thanks mac!Mac!
MHz Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 Use makecab to recompress. At a command prompt, type makecab /? for instructions. If you have modified the files, you may need to use modifype first. Use the site search to get it.
Coolsights2000 Posted October 23, 2004 Author Posted October 23, 2004 LOl found that on the net to after I posted this...Yahoo hit up on a old thread here of all things....I though make cab was for cab files only....I guess NOT...Thank for the reply...I did manage to figure out what to save and use to get the windows update site to go start to the express and custom page the first time...it will work till they update...My big reason for digging is I'm keeping SP1 alive for awhile cause there are to many issue with third party software and SP2....And when you go the v5 update site it crashes and burns cause the reguired stuff is not running in SP1... cause it was the old way v4 site....So whoo hoo I'm off and running I just need to turn it into a installer package..I hope I can get the inf file to install... I trapped the updated files and used the AU.inf from SP2...That file wusetup.inf that you get is fuu-bared up big time... I used beyond campare to get the updated wuweb.inf // it is the active X installer//Whoo hoo.. I just have to deal with the haxmat silent install and the installer for the update site and my basic installer for windows XP SP1 with all the present updates will be done...Mac!
