GreenMachine Posted August 20, 2005 Author Share Posted August 20, 2005 Geez, with such a compliment, there must a request coming !Just kidding ... and yes, I am a perfectionist. Every option has it's advantages and disadvantages. Most of the other choices are either faster, more compact, or allow easy modification of Microsoft code. Me, I've got a DVD burner, I like to have time for a beer or two during the install, and shoot for that 100% Microsoft acceptable installation. That is not to try and belittle any of the other efforts, they are all good in their own right.Thanks for getting pack to me. (The old version was OK for XP, but did not pick up the right Windows 2003 SP1 files.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 so did you merge the two version of XPCREATE? or just base this off the freeware one?Guess what i'm getting at...does this still do flash and download the updates for you? Good to see you finally back, atleast for awhile... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenMachine Posted August 21, 2005 Author Share Posted August 21, 2005 Thanks, Tinywoods, but please se my post in answer to your post. I would really prefer if you let ME publish fixes and patches ... If there is a problem, post the LOGFILES.CAB, and perhaps screen shots an a detailed description of the problem.Thanks again,GreenMachine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor have I had a chance to update the download lists. You can, however, use the old plugins with the new verson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bitfrotter Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 (edited) @Greenmachine,I saw the new version and downloaded it. Started from beginning and downloaded everything from the xpcreate website. However there are 2 links pointing to the wrong files. If i move the mouse over the HTMCDWizard_enu.exe it downloads the KB890830 hotfix and when moved over the Media player setup file, it points to the WMCSETUP.EXEAlso the setup.exe at the end of the WXPSP2 list is pointing to the dotnetfx.exe.I will download from Microsoft and let you know if I find more.Greetings,The Bitfrotter Edited August 22, 2005 by Bitfrotter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenMachine Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 @BaTLeZone: Sounds odd that there should be so much trouble for Windows 2000. I will not be able to look into it until some time in September, but I am guessing that it is something simple that craps out early on. Perhaps I have trouble with a hotfix or rollup.@Bitfrotter: Thanks for pointing out the typos. As you may have guessed, those lists are generated, not hand typed. I'll have to look into the generator. In any event, the lists themselves seem to be accurate, even if the links are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaTLeZone Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 (edited) @GMThat was for XPHOME. I have not tried it with 2000 yet.

GreenMachine Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 Right ... I meant XP Home. Still, odd that it should be so much trouble, as the differences from XP Pro are not that great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GreenMachine Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 A glitch indeed ... It seems that DOPATH=YES is in XPCREATE.INI, but XPCREATE does not find any driver directories to add to the OEMPnPDriversPath line in WINNT.SIF. Should not effect the install, but it WILL be cleaned up in the next release. Thanks for pointing it out!Without meaning to nag ... please attach LOGFILES.CAB, not a RARed file, as I can always open CABs, but am not always on a box that has an RAR extractor.

BaTLeZone Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Glad to be of help. I changed them to cab files now if you still need them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 Thanks. No need for the CAB now, but after XPCREATE finishes, it does leave a LOGFILES.CAB file in the NEWFILES directory. That is simply XPCREATE.LOG compressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaTLeZone Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Hi GMI gave XPHOME another try only I took more time to do it this time and found the problem I made an error in the ini file. Everything worked great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
