Heya,

I have ASPI 1.8 in a folder and I need to run a .bat in order to install them. My question is, how to install them while installing Windows? Same thing as the appz or not?

Thanx

why not use 4.72? just out of curiousity?

[Neo Hacker]

cool thanks!

don't know why I'm not using 4.72...lol just installed them

[Alanoll]

i use this command with Adaptec ASPI 4.72 and it installs silently...

aspiinst.exe silent

who would have thought it be so simple, lol

hi there
I used to use aspi for different dvd purposes.
I don't need them anymore since the software handles them automatically these days.
out of curiosity, for what kind of things are u guys using aspi?

I use ASPI 4.71.2 and just take whats in the batch command and do it myself. The commands for XP are:

1- run reg_xp.exe (creates registry entries)
2- copy aspixp.sys to system32 as aspi32.sys
3- copy wnaspixp.dll to system32 as wnaspi32.dll

So basically rename the two files xxxxx32.sys/.dll and put them in $OEM$\$$\system32 and call reg_xp from a .cmd file. If we figure out what reg_xp does, just throw it away and add the commands to a .reg file.

aspiinst.exe is only used in the batch file for Windows 9x/NT/2000 so no way.
Numinous' method probably works good, but no registry entries and I dunno, just don't sound right to me.

About the only reason I use it is cuz I use Exact Audio Copy to rip CDs and it seems faster with aspi..

hmm nero does that too without aspi (well at least no need for installing aspi, i think nero installs an aspi..)

[RayOK]

Well, used Regmon and seems reg_xp basically creates this:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Aspi32]
"ErrorControl"=dword:00000001
"Type"=dword:00000001
"Start"=dword:00000002
"MatchFlags"=dword:00000000
"ImagePath"=hex(2):53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,5c,00,64,00,\
  72,00,69,00,76,00,65,00,72,00,73,00,5c,00,61,00,73,00,70,00,69,00,33,00,32,\
  00,2e,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,00,00

ImagePath says System32\drivers\aspi.sys but the export did it as the hex stuff. You probably could go without it but just incase you wanna get rid of reg_xp, make that into a reg file.

Yes, Nero rips CDs, and it also copies CDs but CloneCD or Alcohol 120% are just better. Also, after I downloaded the song title info from CDDB, just one click and EAC uses LAME to make the ripped songs into mp3s. All nice, perfect, 100% quality.

You shouldn't install any ASPI file layer unless it is essential: like actually having an Adaptec SCSI card 

V-4.7x has proven to be unstable in many WinXP boxes and is not compatible with burnatonce (if you like it).

V-4.6x is good enough for non-Adaptec uses, but really, a good burning program does not require this proprietary interface.

Olli the creator of CloneCD mentioned something similar.
He also gave some technical background but that was beyond my scope

[Alanoll]

some DVD Authoring programs require the aspi layer. It's stupid, but meh, if I want to use the software....

[edmoncu]

i was wondering, what switches goes when installing aspi 4.6?

[<SparTacuS>]

You don't need switches (or anything else)

1) Place WOWPOST.EXE and WINASPI.DLL into $OEM$\$$\SYSTEM

2) Place ASPI32.SYS into $OEM$\$$\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS

3) Place ASPICHK.EXE into $OEM$\$$\SYSTEM32 (if you want it)

If you run ASPICHK.EXE after installation you will find that it all checks out fine.

If anyone still gives a **** here are the /switches for ASPI32 v4.71.2 XP
