batman75 Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Did you run the debug from Pyron? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retestrak Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 the debug ??? sorry no ... didnt even know there was one...edit: looked on his site but nothing about debug so how do i get that ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Did you use nLite? Did you remove some system files? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retestrak Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 nope no nlite and no i did not remove anythingi did everything as told in the readme filesi used method 2only thing i edited was the path to the driver folder eg from $OEM$/$1 to Driversbut i dont think that hasnt got anything to do with the presetup.cmd not finding the setup (wich strangely says C: while it should install from the dvd)do you need me to post anything here like my presetup.cmd or something ?i really need this fixed please... (or else my ucd is f*cked up i guess?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Are you using my DriverPacks? They use the folder DP, not Drivers!And did you also make the necessary changes in the presetup.cmd file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retestrak Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 yup your driverpacks the folder DP is located in the folder Drivers (root of dvd e.g \Drivers\DP\)i'll add my presetup.cmd to this post so you can have a lookpresetup.cmd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Huh? Did you repack my DriverPacks? Because they HAVE to be in the OEM folder when using this method! And if you don't, then you have to edit the presetup.cmd, which you haven't...I see you're using some sort of hybrid method here... My DriverPacks + drivers in $OEM$\Drivers. Move your drivers to $OEM$\DP and everything will work if you use my default settings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retestrak Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 no i did not repack your driversmy master driver folder is in the root of the dvd so not even in $OEM$ foldere.g X:\Drivers\DP\herealldriverfoldersfromyourpacks(andmine)must your dp folder be in $OEM$ ??? i thought you could put them in your root driver folder (X:\Drivers\)you see i'm installing everything from the dvd i dont use the copy to hdd first ($OEM$\$1\)did i f*ck up here ? and if so can i resque anything or is it game over ?EDIT :could this work : start /WAIT %CDROM%\setup.exe %* in stead of start /WAIT setup.exe %*just an idea....

ile5 Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 You don't need setup line at all.Just REM or delete setup line.REM +===========================================REM | Finally start the installation with the originally REM | given parameters REM |-------------------------------------------------------REM start /WAIT setup.exe %*REM +=========================================== iLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batman75 Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 You need to go back and do some more reading about integrating drivers.Pyron's debug is here http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=12566.But it looks like you have bigger problems than just that. Follow Bashrats guide, and dont start changing things until it works using his methods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retestrak Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 thanks for the replies guys i'm glad you are willing to help a newcomer i really ami changed my prestup.cmd like you guys suggested and tried againwell the "cannot find setup" error is gone now but now i have a new oneand this particular error is just plain weird as that must be correct in the presetup.cmdmy lines (unmodified)REM +=======================================================+REM | Trick Windows into identifying the original setup.exe |REM | deleting the setup.exe will not work, just rename it |REM |-------------------------------------------------------|if exist setup.exe ren setup.exe setupold.exeif exist setupORG.exe ren setupORG.exe setup.exeREM +=======================================================+and look at the error below in the picturecan anyone help me on this please ?

Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 It's impossible that you got this error if you didn't make any changes.Please post EVERY change you made! P.S.: it would definetely be easier if you adapted your things to the method, instead of how you are doing it now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retestrak Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 thanks again for your helponly thing i changed was the path to my base folder dir m8i'm very close to giving up right now...is it possible to do method1 or 2 again from the start ? (overwriting this install)if you answer with yes i will just begin from the start but no more changesi just want (wanted) my drivers to install from the dvd like my software and not copy them to hdd first (e.g the $OEM$\$1 folders)if i can start over again i will do it EXACTLY as in the topic posted a few posts above...but like i said is that still possible ?

Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Well... IF everything was implemented the way it is automatically done by my DriverPacks BASE, it will be automatically removed.*BUT* because you've changed some things, it will only remove the things that are default. So the things you've added/changed will have to be removed manually... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
