Q about SVCPACK - reg file doesn't apply?

[vci]

hi tomcat!

reg file in svcpack doesnt apply with unattended.sourceforge.net!

why? windows doesn't complain about any missing files ...

[tommyp]

In your other thread, you said "he complains about a missing winnt32.exe or wrong winnt32.exe". Are you or are you not getting copy errors?

[vci]

this happens only when i set recovery console to install in hfanswers.ini

this problem is not related to the recovery console problem

but i always install over the network ...

[vci]

what makes me wonder, why is the reg stuff at the end? why is it regedit /s and not -s?

The reg stuff is at the end so any tweaks you do will happen as late as possible during the setup phase. The /s is the correct switch to make the reg merge silent.

Do you have a folder on any of your local drives called i386? Are other files in your svcpack being parsed?

Are you using HFSLIP for personal use?

[vci]

i use hfslip and unattended.sourceforge to install windows on some thin-clients without cd/dvd drive (for personal use!)

no

What if they are overweight? HAHA. Can you post your sourcess\i386\svcpack.inf file?

[Tomcat76]

I don't think that would help. I think the problem is the %HFSLIP% variable in the beginning of HFSLIP.CMD. The FOR %%I IN (C D E...) doesn't pick up network drives.

[vci]

interesting, i tested this with windows 2000, then he complains about a missing reg file when copying ...

with windows xp he won't apply the reg file, but doesn't complain about a missing reg file ...

i just leave the reg file out now, i'll search around to solve the problem

[Tomcat76]

Can you run the 1.5.0 release candidate with all files in place, then ZIP up HFSLIP.CMD from SOURCESS\I386\SVCPACK and post it here?

I'm gonna modify it a little to see if I can get the %HFSLIP% variable to work over a network.
