Installing from USB-pen drive

[druiddk]

Hi!

Im messing with using a 4GB FAT32 USB-pen to install WinXP unattendedly.

So far so good.

However during the initial file copy for 3 files:

OfficeUpdateEngine.inf

GWFSPIDGen.dll

LegitCheckControl.dll

All 3 files are infact located (compressed .in_ etc) in the I386 folder.

The 3 files are obviously from nLite addons but why the other addons do not fail are beyond my mind

This is how they are listed in txtsetup.sif:

OfficeUpdateEngine.inf = 100,,,,,,,20,0,0

GWFSPIDGen.dll = 100,,,,,,,2,0,0,GWFSPIDGen.dll

LegitCheckControl.dll = 100,,,,,,,2,0,0,LegitCheckControl.dll

Any ideas?

Davs DruidDK -

Are you actually booting from the USB pendrive ? If so, how are you starting the install ?

8.3 filename format issue?

Yeah I was wondering the same thing. Has to be a setting in the BIOS maybe?

Yes I'm actually booting from the USB-pen.

I am starting the install by calling winnt.exe in the I386 folder.

I think Ryan might be onto something about the 8.3 file format... I will investigate further

Call it a hunch
