creopard Posted February 17, 2005 Posted February 17, 2005 Is it possible to compress files in the folder "$OEM$\$$\System32" to e.g. "somefile.dl_" with makecab?(similar methor as in the coming driver packs)I mean, will these files be uncompressed by windows automatically during installation?This could save a lot of space for e.g. the "unattended codec pack"...
creopard Posted February 18, 2005 Author Posted February 18, 2005 thats not what I wanted, so you think it's not possible?
Nanaki Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 Well, try it out and know to tell us the results!I'm guessing "no", as I presume Windows has an index of the files to be copied.
SiMoNsAyS Posted February 18, 2005 Posted February 18, 2005 never tried it but i don't see why it would work as it isn't called anywhere to be extracted.you can cab it, place it on i386 and then add the propper entries to txtsetup.sif and dosnet.inf but this would be a lot of work, better the old known sfx modules
