Hi,

is it possible to integrate this patch to be installed before drivers installation stage?

(I need this for my Sound Card)

[IcemanND]

If you find a way let me know. I spent 3 weeks emailing back and forth with M$ without any solution. I gave up and install it first from Runonce then install my sound card drivers.

According to MS, the idea is to manually integrate it with svcpack.inf, but I want it XPCREATEd & not manually...

You got more out of them than I did. They wouldn't even say that you could do it via svcpack.inf when I was trying.

They just told me to run it after the install was complete.

try this KB article, see if you can manage to do anything...

[MtK]

any news?

[IcemanND]

I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

Huh? I already told you how to do it, MtK...

You should just put all the files in the I386 directory, also the portcls.sys file. You can compress them if you want.

Then add the necessary entries to the dosnet.inf file. (Check RyanVM's updatepack manual instructions for that)

Last, but most importantly: add this to your dosnet.inf file:

[ForceCopyDriverCabFiles]
portcls.sys

and the new portcls.sys in the i386 directory will be used.

Of course you could also just use RyanVM's updatepack, which will simply update driver.cab...

Ryan's Vm update pack has it.

sorry, I have no intentions of doubting your method, Bâshrat the Sneaky, but I'm looking for the XPCREATE way (or any other automatic way) of doing this (not manual)...

but I'm willing to try it know that I see there is no answer from XPC experts...

I will try it on my next attempt...

[IcemanND]

It would be nice that if M$ providea a patch with the /integrate: swith that it would actually integrate.

[RyanVM]

My only thought has been to run it as a DetachedProgram called by winnt.sif so that the relevant files are copied before hardware detection. I don't know if it would actually work, though.

will it work, if I manually integrate this into my CD, & then add the other hotfixes?

if so, could you guide me through? or show me some link (to a guide)...

[RyanVM]

You need a guide on how to use the /integrate switch?

[MtK]

Of course not, I just thought, the /integrate switch won't install the hotfix before drivers.
