Did you list the files in your txtsetup.sif AND in your dosnet.inf? This last one is required if you use WinPE!

YOU ARE A GENIUS!! I didn't get the error message.

Now i get a message, right before the GUI starts, saying it cannot find the driversigning.exe that pyron made...

Time to do some troubleshooting. Seems to me it can't find me CD drive , cuz the path shows up as could not find....\OEM\bin\thefile.exe

So i'll have to take a look at my presetup.cmd code.

I'll post my code if i can't figure it out. Thanks a lot again!

found my problem, miss-spelled my tag file! OoOps

[JuMz]

Wow, I must have bad luck.

I am obtaining another error in the GUI portion of the setup, during the "Registering Components" stage, T-15 mark.

A Dialog box comes up titled "Internet Connection Wizard" and says the following:

"Windows cannot load the internet configuration library (ICFGNT.DLL). The following error occurred: The specified module could not be found."

After clicking OK, the setup continues.

Did a quick peek of my i386 folder, that file does not exist, (just searched for icfgnt.* a different file showed up)

I have a feeling this has to do with RyanVM's Post SP2 hotfix pack, but I am not sure. I followed his directions to intergrate them to my XP DVD with nLite.

Any suggestions?

[Bâshrat the Sneaky]

Did you use nLite?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Yes I used nLite. I have yet to find a solution about this problem. I have posted my problem in over 10 threads with no replies. Right now, I am just avoiding the update pack with nLite all together....

Do the following entries in presetup.cmd work? There seems to be some controversy on whether doing these at this stage actually stick? I want to reset driver signing and driver path but not sure if doing this at the end of presetup.cmd actually works.

For who he/she doesn't have a dvd, because you don't make a file .exe to copy the drivers of a cd for the hd?
Type: " Insert the drivers cd and press any key "
It is later: " Insert Windows XP'S cd again"

[LispWarez]

i have a major prob with my CD ever since i added the drivers to it. i added the nVidia graphics drivers, some modem drivers and the Realtek AC97 drivers all of which i need for my computer. but as soon as i try installing XP on a computer with different hardware it just stops installing. sometimes i get a blue screen and other times i get a flashing carrot in the top left corner. but if i install XP without the drivers then it all works OK. i also have a prob when im trying to install onto a SATA drive and i need to load the driver off the stiffy disk. when it tries to copy the driver from the stiffy it fails but again without the drivers included on the CD it works fine. anyone else having these probs or is it just me?
extra: i dont use nLite, the only things i have changed from the orig CD is Slipstreames SP2 and media player 10 and the winntbbu.dll
?????
am i destined to not have drivers included on my CD?
HELP

[paulosemblano]

My presetup.cmd is like this, with the drivers already copied in a called paste DRIVERS, with the file SetDevicePath.exe in this paste, and WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe in the CD\OEM\bin, but the drivers don't install.
What is wrong?

set tagfile=\WIN51
for %%i in (c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z) do if exist "%%i:%tagfile%" set CDDRIVE=%%i:

%SystemDrive%
cd %SystemRoot%\system32

if exist setup.exe ren setup.exe setupold.exe
if exist setupORG.exe ren setupORG.exe setup.exe

%SystemDrive%\drivers\SetDevicePath.exe %SystemDrive%\drivers

start %CDDRIVE%\OEM\bin\WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe

start /WAIT setup.exe %*

RD /Q /S %SystemDrive%\drivers

I have also noticed that setdevicepath will only allow %systemroot%\inf as I have tried many other ways to get anything else to work...I ONLY use Ryans Update Pack and this Driver setup...it worked tons of times before, just not anymore...is there something that is possibly stopping this from working?
<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Hmm, it just hit me that this may be the same problem I have been encountering recently. Can you confirm which RyanVM pack Version started this problem?

Also, did you end up with a solution to this?

[evilvoice]

it was an error in where i ran setdevicepath...I tried different things and did get it working, though with the new rvmpack, I found out that my source was corrupted and have since had to start from scratch. I am not quite at the point to redo this yet, but when I do apply this method back, I will let everyone know problems or successes with it.

[Ixel]

I'm wondering if this method of installing drivers (using the method originally posted by Pyron) works when you install the windows from the hard drive. I run winnt32 with /localsource switch and so setup starts the GUI and copies the necessary files to the hard drive, then goes to text setup, then back to GUI. Will it work doing it this way?

EDIT: To answer my own question and for anyone else who might be interested, it does work. Thanks to Pyron for his work on this.

Good question, how do you uncab?

[Necros]

Hi

Pyron you made an excellent job ! Thanks a LOT !!!

But I got a problem with SetDevicePath.exe

I'm working on my multi boot DVD and Win2000 SP4 (slipstreamed from SP2 to SP4)
When I test my DVD, windows doesen't find any driver in my driver folder. I used setup_dbg.exe to test presetup.cmd.

Everything works well, but before the system reboot, I open a new commandline interpreter to use REG.EXE and to read the registry value

HKLM\Software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\DriverPath

However the returned value is %SystemRoot%\inf

I then launch manually SetDevicePath.exe and re-read the registry tu check the change.

REG.EXE returns the same string : %SystemRoot%\inf

I tried to execute SetDevicePath.exe on a fully installed windows 2000 and used regedit to check the change.

I get the same behavior.

I know that your file is win 2000 compatible because it worked.

I switched my project into multiboot with CD Shell because your executable failed during my last tests. So I restarted from scratch my DVD and implemented cd shell.

Have someone observed the same thing ? Did I forgot a step ??

@Pyron

You stated in the first post that we need to reset the appropriate keys after using WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe.
I think its not the HKCU, but it should be HKU. Am I right or wrong?

[HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Microsoft\Driver Signing]
"Policy"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Driver Signing]
"Policy"=hex:01

[HKEY_USERS\.Default\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Driver Signing]
"BehaviorOnFailedVerify"=dword:00000001

[Oleg_II]

Pyron's method works great for me. But when I tryed using SVCPACK folder it seems running svcpack.inf is broken: if an .exe or .cmd file is placed in folder and in svcpack.inf it runs, but when I add Pyron's files, .exe and .cmd files don't run from svcpack.inf. Anybody experienced this behaviour?
Best regards,
Oleg 2
