Missing files on nLited XP SP2 CD

[Vanger]

Hi there!

I have a problem with missing files on nLite'd WinXP CD.. Version Professional, SP1-SP2 slipstreamed manually to original contents.

nLite additions: Hotfixes till July 06, nVidia 91.47 Eng WHQL integrated, components removed.

Error description: on Upgrade installation form within XP - missing file a863ydiq.sys with option to skip it and note of its probable necessity. Then comes reboot, installation fails almost instantly on black screen file check due to a863ydiq.sys missing, the only option - reboot and repeat the same

Tried on my second computer, just for experiment - same stuff, different file missing - at3w92pf.sys.

Just to clarify: IMHO those files are random, randomly named to be precise, because they're NOWWHERE to be found on my PC's and XP CD's (looked in *.cab's too), I couldn't even google them!

Looked through discussions about missing files on the forum - not exactly my case

I don't have any "known" files missing, valuable drivers, themes, Outlook, unsigned drivers, corrupt driver.cab or expand.exe, crapy CD-Rs, crapy recorders, read/write errors, etc..

Used nLite 1.2RC, 3 days ago on WinXP Pro SP2. Tried several times, although with the same config, unfortunately don't have much time to test

Looking forward for help

Thanks ahead.

P.S. Config attached

From where is a863ydiq.sys? Did you used some driver packs or something?

[Vanger]

Nope, just did, what i said: clean XP SP2, nvidia 91.47, removed components.. That's why I'm asking.. Why the hell did i get error with those files if they're not even present on my distributive?!

I'm very confused..

Vanger I downloaded this driver extracted it with winrar and searched for those 2 files. They are now a part of the driver. The solution for the problem. I dont know, maybe remake your cd with a different driver.

[Vanger]

Hmm.. Dirtwarrior, I didn't grasp, what you did

What 'this driver', and what part are those files of? And what about a 'different driver'?

Look, I don't have those files on my machine at all :) and the distibutive i made keeps asking for them!

And what's more - it asks for different files on different machines

Try remking your cd with different nvidea drivers.

Oh, that's quite clearer, I'll try to remake it in a few hours, as I get home.

Thanks for the tip

did u tried modifype for these files.

For some files windows does not want to copy them.

After modifype there is no problem with them.

Vanger, can you post a link to those drivers then if I get the same error it will be fixed.

Since that's normal nvidia file I don't see any reason for it to be the cause of the problem.

Lets see about your method of install, I'm not saying that it's your fault, it's more like unexplored area from my side.

What is exactly "Upgrade installation form within XP", what did you upgrade, your already installed XP or 2k...if you did, even from 2k please don't, install it clean by booting from the cd.

You may test it in virtual machine first.
