sitdown Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Hi there, first day on this forum I'm trying to build a bartpe with XPE plugin, to get it to work on most systems i have to extract inf files from driver.cab and SP2.cab. I have tried numerouse ways to extract driver.cab, but it only shows other files when extracted.. (no *.inf or *.in_)Tried with different zip software and these dos commands:- EXPAND DRIVER.CAB [-F:*.in_] C:\sl ( This unpacked files to c:sl\ , but no inf..)- C:\sl\1>expand -r "[X:\XP\XPP-RE-EN-SP2-ORG\I386]*.in_" ["C:\sl"] ( get the fault message: Can't open input file : [c:\sl]Here is the bartxpe howto that explains how to do this: http://xpe.collewijn.info/index.phpTheire expand command is: expand -r "[xp\i386 path\]*.in_" ["XPE plugin\inf sub folder path"]Why can't i find any inf files, remember i was able to do this last time i tried this..Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paraglider Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 (edited) There are no inf files in driver.cab. They are on your XP CD in i386\*.in_. You extract the *.sys and *.dll files from driver.cab and overwrite with *.sys and *.dll from sp2.cab. You copy the files named i386\*.in_ to the inf subdirectory of your XPE plugin. Run expand on the copied *.in_ filesNote the [..] in the instructions you reference means the parameter is optional not that you should include them in your typed parameters. So you don't specify ["c:\sl"] but "c:\sl". Directory c:\sl must exist and specifies the output directory of the expand. At the command line type:expand /?to find the expand parameters.

maarten98 Posted August 7, 2006 Share Posted August 7, 2006 The driver cab is basically the SYSTEM32\DRIVERS directory, you need the inf files too, they are already in the \INF directory so you should be able to use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
