Hi,

has anybody an idea to install the monitor driver silent?
My problem is, that sometimes a window appear which ask me to install the monitor driver.
This window appears in the t-39 (driverinstallation).

Thx.

On my CD I have the following directories for my drivers:

I:\xpcd\$OEM$\$1\drivers
|
|---00-av
|
|---01-chip






what do I put here?
%CDDRIVE%\OEM\bin\SetDevicePath.exe %SystemDrive%\drivers

John

[RaynotRoy]

is it possible to put setupORG.exe and presetup.cmd into the $OEM$\$$\SYSTEM32 directory? it sounds easier than adding entries in txtsetup.sif

Why do you need this method if you copy the drivers directory to your hard-drive?
And that line you posted is inside the presetup.cmd is it? you don't really know this method.

Hi,

I have a problem during an installation of a hp d230m

During the hardware setup in gui setup a blue screen appears with an error message, that there is a problem with the portcls.sys.

There is no way to install this computer with the driver pack.

I used the sound, graphics, chipset and lan packages in the newest version.

I hope, that anybody can help me.

Thx a lot
Björn


I removed the sound pack and the blue screen does not appear. But I don't want to solve the problem in this way.

Björn_2, update DriverPacks_BASE to v6.01. The problem has just been fixed.

I used DriverPacks_BASE v6.01 but the problem exists anymore. I tried to integrate the KB888111 Hotfix myself with the KB888111.exe /integrate: method and the integrate-method of base 6.01. But nothing work.

I think, that there is a wrong driver windows tried to install. Is it possible to get out which driver will be installed during T-35?

Thx

Has anyone been successful in converting this method to x64 yet? I've seen attempts at it, but nothing that resembles this method as they all required the use of WinNT.sif which is what I'm hoping to avoid.

It's been converted to Windows x64 Edition months ago. There's even a tutorial.

Sorry for adding this comment which actually points to some problems which were been discussed very back regarding svcpack.inf not working. But as i think this to be useful to someone who hasn't yet solved their problem regarding svcpack.inf,i am telling you what went wrong with my package.

Actually i am using Pyrons method(presetup.cmd, updated setup.ex files and all stuffs) as it helps to inculde custom drivers and all.
Everything works fine till i found my svcpack.inf is not working.I was thinking like others that there was some problem with pyrons method.

Then as evilvoice suggested(not to me,but in the forum) i tried running setup form my orginal setup.ex removing pyrons setup.ex,but still couldn't have svcpak.inf running. So i understood there wasnt and it isn't because of any problem with pyrons method but there is some other basic problem that needs to be sorted out first

Then i went down to check everything from the scratch.That search ended in my svcpack.inf file where in the version part it was given as :

;Windows XP
[Version]
Signature=" NT$"
MajorVersion=5
MinorVersion=1
BuildNumber=2600

which is incorrect and it was supposed to be like this for XP

[Version]
Signature="$Windows NT$"
MajorVersion=5
MinorVersion=1
BuildNumber=2600

Actually i have done all my initial work on unattended Xp from Alanoll unattended windows guide. Its a nice guide and i should thank allonol for his wonderful compilation work.
But this small error is there which needs to be corrected.

Allanol if you happen to read this hope you will correct that mistake.

Hope this experiece of mine will help someone else in their cause.

NB: I havent gone full throught this forum and if anyone has pointed out this earlier please ignore this.

You'll have to remove some Windows components with nLite or remove some DriverPacks to fit it on CD unless your burner can overburn. Otherwise, you'll have to use a DVD. I posted a more detailed answer for you here:

I have used this method on my RIS installation

but

anyone knows why when I use the Driverpacks and add them to my RIS installation it does not do the cmdlines.txt anymore. Therefore also does not run the RunOnceEx.cmd.

Does this has to do with the setup.ex_ and the setuporg.exe?

HI All

I am asking for some advice, on remote Unattended installation.
I have been installing both Xp and Windows2000 remotely on to PC and laptop's recently with no problems at all, and it has made life a lot easier. Recently I was presented with a new PC to carry out a remote installation of windows 2000 plus other applications, and at the time thought this should be easy, how wrong I was!

The New PC uses SATA RAID disks, after reading through the doc's I installed win2000 remotely, so far so good, upon bootup, the Windows 2000 setup message F6, install third Party SCSI or Raid adapter. pressing F6 and "S" to select the A drive, the process of copying the files began, after a short while a message appear:

Quote

Setup cannot copy the file: aar81xx.sys from the floppy

This happened for other files on the floppy : aar81xx.inf
aar81xx.cat
a81xxmgt.inf
a81xxmgt.cat

This I tried several times with new floppy disks with no success and eventually, I decided to install Windows 2000 server by hand directly onto the new PC, along with the floppy disk containing the driver, no problems were observed and the system booted correctly.

I have looked around the forums for a possible solution to my problem, and wondered if PYRONS method would resolve the above but ideally, I wish to save the files from the drivers floppy disk onto the remote server and install them automatically. I have done this with other drivers for network cards with no problems, it appears the SATA RAID driver needs more work to install and configure it remotely.

Any help on the above would be much appreciated, I can give more information on my configuration if this is needed right now.


Thanks

Please, do not use oempreinstall=Yes in unattenden anserver file.

If oempreinstall=Yes F6 not work.

It would be nice if there could be made a version of SetDevicePath.exe that only added folders with a INF file inside.

Would reduce the string length in the DevicePath in registry.

I have some problems where I have a lot of folders in my Drivers folder, making the SetDevicePath.exe not working.
If I remove some folders it works fine.


For example I have a audio driver for an IBM Intellistation where there are 20 subfolders with language files.
The same with an audio driver for an IBM M55.

I think I could remove some of those folders, but I not sure.
Anyway if the SetDevicePath.exe only added folders with an INF file in it, it would reduce the length of the string a lot.

For now my DevicePath in registry is 15077 characters long


EDIT:
I found this http://www.vernalex....tools/spdrvscn/
But dont know (yet) if it can be run from the presetup.cmd file.
This one only adds folders with an INF file in it.

EDIT2:
Just tested, it works flawless on Windows XP.
My DevicePath in registry is now 1804 characters


Other ideas are welcome

So as you might have guessed already, the neat stuff happens in presetup.cmd.
The driveletter of the CD is searched first:
CODE
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:

(thanks to serialsz for the shorter version, slightly modified)

Remark: note that the tagfile might be different for you. You might have to change it to '\WIN51IP' or '\WIN51.SP2'.


I have a question about this part. My installation source has WIN51 and WIN51IP and WIN51.sp2. Since it says I might have to change it, which of the three I listed should I use?
