Win95 unattended install snag

[jholt5638]

I am trying to slipstream the drivers for my computer into the Win95 setup. Thanks to many posts here I have a semi working msbatch.inf. I have a couple of little hiccups, even though I have set my briefcase to 0 it is still installed. Second problem has to do with the inf's for the hardware.

During the DOS based installer it asks where the inf's are even though they are in the /win95 directory once I select one it doesn't prompt for the rest. During the Windows phase of the install the installer asks for every one of the files for my soundcard. I modified the inf for it for example cwcshfo.osp=1,drivers\audio where drivers is a subdir in the win95 source. My other drivers are modded similarly and windows doesn't prompt for files.

Below is my msbatch.inf perhaps someone might point me to get windows to find the added inf's without prompting.

Well...

Could you rename a "copy* of it as "msbatch.txt" (so it'll upload) and attach it? Or else edit your post and use a CodeBox instead as it's one...long...string right now. Just copy/past contents into the following:

(open-bracket)code(close-bracket)Code Text(open-bracket)/code(close-bracket)

Nobody will really want to fix what you have to make it readable. Sorry.

Hmmm...

Your LDID indicates copying them (JUST the INF files) into the "Windows\INF" folder.

See - http://www-pc.uni-regensburg.de/systemsw/TECHTOOL/w95/doc/INFDOC.HTM

 

HOWEVER, you've got (e.g.) the following for the remainder -

[AddReg.Reg]
HKLM,SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce\Setup,"Intel Chipset",,"start /w d:\win95\drivers\intelinf\setup.exe -s"

Where's the D-Drive? The CD/DVD-drive?

 

Please note (re: the INF files) that the assocated Files referenced in the INF will still be "wherever the Source Install Files Initially Exist" (assuming the D-Drive).

 

Standard method is to write a BAT file to copy them to HDD *before* Install. This is the OEM method.

 

On-Topic, here's some references.

http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/141251-windows-95c-osr-25-msbatchinf/

http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/157229-how-to-launch-a-customized-version-of-msbatchinf/

http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/162717-how-do-you-slipstream-drivers-into-a-custom-win98se-install-disc/

( Note - Above has my Win98SE one attached )

Further "information" -

http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/149231-trying-to-use-infinst-to-add-drivers-to-win-98-install/page-3

( You may want to read that whole thread )

 

Again, you'll need to do an OEM-style Install as a safe bet. Yea, they may get copied, but you're well past Windows "finding" them during Install. IOW, you've *already* booted to Desktop, which is TOO LATE for Auto-Finding them (AFAICT).

 

Win9x MSBATCH.INF is more-or-less consistent between release.

 

HTH...
