TxtSetup.sif error ?

[Sonic]

Hi all,

I'm testing the multi boot solution

I have followed these steps :

1) winnt32.exe /noreboot
To get boot folder
First boot folder "AUTO" (for unattented setup)
2) Deleted Winnt.sif & Migrate.inf & Bootsect.dat
3) Make a second exact copy boot folder (for attented setup ...) called NORM
4) Edited TxtSetup.sif (no changes because my setup file are at \i386)
5) Edited SetupLdr.bin :
AUTO: Change I386 to AUTO, 4x
NORM: Chane I386 to NORM, 4x
6) Edited boots sectors :
AUTO.dat to point to boot folder "AUTO"
NORM.dat to point to boot folder "NORM"
7) Integration of CDShell ..
I have make my cdshell.ini ...
Works great to boot Memtest & Dos image
Boot on each windows setup but I have an error about TxtSetup.sif .. Status 18
See pict attach ...

Anyone can help me ?

edit: Added my folder tree ...

Is it normal TxtSetup.sif is present in i386 folder too (in setup folder) ? it's unncessary no ?

Okay, I'm stupid !!! I have changed just 3 times the I386 word in SetupLdr.bin ... because I have search for \I386 ... and one has not the first \ ... finally it's works now !

another question: When we change the i386 source path ... when XP ask the cd to allow install windows components ... it will search the x:\i386 or the setup source patch like x:\setup\xp\professionnal (example from the guide) ?

Are you trying to add drivers? Or apps? or are you trying to set the source and/or target drive?

@chriskoivu: Sometime XP ask the CD to install optionals components or drivers not present in the installed windows, okay ? and a popup is display to ask "insert CD .... x:\i386"

Si when we change the SetupSourcePath I think XP will ask for a CD but with path x:\SETUP\XP\Pro\i386 (form guide example) ...

IMHO, I think we must re-set SetupSourcePath to x:\i386 no ?

The HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SourcePath= is set to what value for persons use a multi dvd ?
