Time bug fixed! Thanks, Tomcat

I did not see the error box saying "There is no disc in the drive," but that's because I didn't have bbie.exe in HFTOOLS so the script didn't process that section. (See my previous post if you don't know what I'm talking about.)

If I run the following script, that error box pops up (note: this is an exact copy of the :GETBOOTBIN section with a few things at the top).

@ECHO OFF
CLS
SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION

:GETBOOTBIN
REM Modified by Kramy -- Thanks!
FOR %%i IN (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:\ IF EXIST %%i:\I386 SET HFSLIP=%%i

I added the GOTO EOF to the GETBOOTBIN section in 60501a. Thanks.

As far as the other problem is concerned... This can't be fixed. It's the same as when you double-click on a CDROM/ZIP/USB drive icon when there's nothing loaded in it.

[Super-Magician]

That's what I figured after I thought about it for a while. Thanks.

[Tomcat76]

It sounds logical... HFSLIP needs to check for the existence of an I386 folder before it determines that it's a drive containing the Windows CD. For that, the drive needs to be accessed...

[Super-Magician]

But - the modification provided by Kramy - wasn't that to get rid of such error message?

[Kramy]

Hey, I was just thinking - I don't see any ( ) brackets in the above function. What happens if multiple drives have an i386 in their root? Will it only attempt to copy from the last one?

[Super-Magician]

Yes, that's true. I don't think there's an easy way to fix that.

Tomcat - minor prob with writing the run time into HFSLIP.LOG. Obviously it won't get written into the ISO as that's created before the time is generated. Just a head's up .

It at least gets rid of an error message appearing when a drive letter doesn't exist.

As far as I know... yes.

@dziubek...

I need the TXTSETUP.SIF and SYSOC.INF from the "bad" install. If everything is fine in those files, the only solution is that you try to find out which addon is causing the issue because the only thing HFSLIP can do is obey what's defined in the addons configuration file (just like nLite). If the problem addon is localized I can maybe try to find a workaround (just like for the one for CDImage).

i made a lot of tests but unfortunately i couldn't find out which addons causes the problem.


Could You write me a meaning of that warning: Rock Ridge

I don't know what Rock Ridge is. Someone else should be able to answer that. What worries me more is the renaming of General_Settings.reg. What are the switches in your ISOconf.txt file?

I see nothing wrong in TXTSETUP.SIF and SYSOC.INF, but if you're using switches that change files to 8:3 format you might get in trouble with UserPass2.inf. Also, note that HFSLIP adds file names into SVCPACK.INF representing the files in the HFSVCPACK and HFSVCPACK_SW folders the way they are called in there. If General_Settings.reg is renamed to GENER000.REG it won't be installed/executed.

Can you delete ISOconf.txt and test again?

hi all!

been away for quite a while ... ;(

just wanted to share that all seems fine with those that i have slipstreamed ...

only a few things to share though:

888111 doesn't seem to recognized when ITs presence is validated via qfecheck ... it does not show in the report

a particular theme addon (VistaCGI if i recall it right) from rynavm prevent the OS from installing ... it shows that line 1 of textsetup.sif is not valid ...

there seems to many directories (usually the very 1st folders) added to my i386 directory (i.e., 041, 043, & the like) ... where did these come from?

btw, XPIZESW=/S /notask still didn't work for me. XPize installation still showed up at T-13 & i still followed the prompts.
may i just ask what the SW is for?

thanks!

@dziubek - What you are seeing is some LFN in your svcpack directory. It either got there from your HFSVCPACK directory or a non-compliant ryanvm addon. If you are running installation via CD, there is NO NEED to worry about this error message. The only way you will get errors is if you are running a dos prompt install (e.g. winnt.exe).

@kiki - Do you get the same folder problem if you are not using application add-ons?

[Super-Magician]

Kiki - the SW in XPIZESW just means "switches", like in CDIMGSW and MKISSW (isoconf.txt).

It doesn't matter for Windows - it's for UNIX purposes only.
excerpt from Wikipedia

Wikipedia.org, on May 2 2006, 05:00 AM, said:

The Rock Ridge Interchange Protocol (RRIP, IEEE P1282) is an extension to the ISO 9660 volume format which adds POSIX file system semantics.

The extension adds support for storing Unix-specific file information on ISO 9660 CD-ROMs. The availability of this information allows for better integration with a local Unix filesystem when a mount operation is performed (also see Mount point).

These extensions are, briefly:

* Longer file names (up to 255 characters)
* Fewer restrictions on characters allowed in filenames
* UNIX-style file modes, user ids and group ids
* Symbolic links
* Deeper directory hierarchy

Is qfecheck capable of detecting it? As far as I know, it is only installed if Windows setup thinks it's necessary. It's just a driver update. Are you having audio problems?

Really strange. SVCPACK.INF doesn't contain the switches even though they are specified in XPize.txt. Can I have a look at your xpize.txt file?

Tomcat, would you mind keeping this post/thread up to date? You do a really great job of breaking this stuff down to my level

[Tomcat76]

@Kiki: Themes_rytukz_VistaCG_addon_v1.0.cab (and other addons of that type) should be supported with 60503a...

@TAiN: You mean that one reference to the HFSVPK folder? Updated.

Hah... Well... Should I let HFSLIP extract the ISO, update HFSLIP.LOG and remake the ISO?

[Tomcat76]

@dziubek

You have a couple of addons with spaces in their name. Are those the original names or did you change (or make) them yourself?
