XtremeMaC Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 I'm sure u canbut i think u'd have to add those into dosnet txtsetup or even maybe to something else.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtDevil Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 You don't have to put it into the drivers.cab. Compress your files using makecab via cmd and copy your files into the I386 directory. Then you have to edit dosnet.inf and txtsetup.sif.dosnet.inf:[Files]d1,YourFiled1,AnotherFiled1,FilesETCtxtsetup.sif:[sourceDisksFiles]YourFile = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0AnotherFile = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0FilesETC = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0Windows will now install these files on your hd.

DirtDevil Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Start to compress these files using makecab. Example:makecab C:\path\to\files\1.cabmakecab C:\path\to\files\1.infmakecab C:\path\to\files\1.sysYou should now have 3 new files:1.ca_1.in_1.sy_Copy these 3 files to your I386 directory.Now look for dosnet.inf in the I386 directory and open it with notepad. Add the files to [Files]:d1,1.cabd1,1.infd1,1.sysNow look for txtsetup.sif and open it with notepad. Add the files to [sourceDisksFiles].1.cab = 1,,,,,,,2,0,01.inf = 1,,,,,,,2,0,01.sys = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkest Genesis Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Well I read over this, and I understand it all, but one question. What file types/files are needed to do this? For instance, I want to integrate nVidias display drives. There is a buttload of stuff I know wont been needed. But what will? Just dll, sys, inf, cat files? Hope somebody knows what I mean.

XtremeMaC Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 why don't u just put them all?u can remove *.bmp *.txt *.iss *.inx *.ini *.bin setup.exe *.hlp if u don't want them ikerneldata1.hdri'm not sure what's in data1.cab & data2.cab they're probably setup needed files. also i think it would be best if u edited that post with txtsetup.infits quite long and the portion after your files are unneccessary.

DirtDevil Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 So, you want to install your drivers, huh?Ok! It's getting a little difficult now. You first have to find out wich of your INF-Files will start the installation of your hardware (modem). Go to: Open the hardware dialog and start to install the drivers manually. Tell Windows to select the folder with the *.inf by yourself. Hopefully the hardware setup will select the right inf itself. Remember this inf file.Open this inf file with notepad. How to proceed depends on what is stored in this file. Show me the whole content of this file and I think about how to execute the installation.

serialzs Posted March 23, 2004 Author Share Posted March 23, 2004 So, you want to install your drivers, huh?YES! how can i use my devices if its not installed the $OEM$\$1\Drivers folder works great but i want mydrivers to be compressed...if there is a method that can extract the *.cab files much great.like DRIVERS.CAB it extracted thats why the plug-n-play drivers and other knowned devices installed and that is my plan to do with my drivers...-=[serialzs]=- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeMaC Posted March 23, 2004 Share Posted March 23, 2004 yea forgot to mention. that nv4disp.inf adds lots of stuff to the registry.i haven't tried to just use the inf but u've to start installing the .inf1 thing u could do (i think, haven't tried it) windows setup already comes with an old version of nv4disp.inf, so it doesn't have the control panel stuff and lots of other files.so change your nv4 inf in the i386 folder with the new driver. and i think u should be okay with it...after adding the inf it'll look for the files mentioned in the inf appropiate for your hardware. so put those files in i386 folder or drivers.cab...
