I do, both my sub-ini's work on there own, but if i check their details on the page after the ini-file selection the OS is detected as none.

I'll clarify that in the GUI, it's indeed quite obscure the way it is now.

When I use the same ini-file in disc-mode the OS is correctly identified.

But this needs testing, as I've said several times. Based on your feedback I'll make the necessary changes and put a beta version in the Betas forum.

Thanks for explaining that to me smile
I did exactly as you describe i created 2 settings files using disc mode one for Pro and one for home then i started DriverPack Sound B again but this time i select       multibootDisc and when i get to select the settings files and add my files and klick next dpsp tells me no settings file selected and when i trie to slipstream i get the same critical error as jagod
There are not yet any slipstream modules available for the selected platform! Program terminated.

This is my .log hope this helps

I've got AIO-DVD as a multiboot root and path to I386 looks like: F:\AIO-DVD\SETUP\WINXPPROENU\I386, so third level.
Is it important how deep are I386's subdirectories from multiboot root?

There weren't any beta testers for this installation platform, it seems to be a lot less popular than I had estimated.

It looks like you're doing it the correct way wink Please post your DPs_BASE.log, so I can fix this issue.

Is there anybody having succesfuly process multiboot?

I was trying hard but no luck so far. 6.08 isn't self explanatory for multiboot.

I've created separate .ini settings file for each OS (all of them are WIN XP but different language or config)and I've put ithem on the list "Select the settings files"? After that pressing "slipstream" 6.08 got critical error "iThere are not yet any slipstream modules available for the selected platform!".
After placing on the list all my .ini files and selecting one of them forward button [>] leads to the screen showing Details for selected settings file - There's amost nothing! No OS, no DriverPacks method, no DriverPacks, and optional settings are empty! That leads to the critical error I've mentioned.
Nothing is working in multiboot.

Some short description how to do this properly would be welcome.

has anyone tested the new powerpacker with the new driverpacks/base? and had it working?

here is my post from the powerpacker forums:

hi...

finally got around to testing it today...

found a problem, it may be just me...

slipstreamed driverpacks using the latest base and latest driver packs as of today into a fresh xp source and tested. all good.

but when i use the mysettings.ini with powerpacker the driverpacks api thing comes up but it finishes up a little to quickly and there is no driverpack files (the 7z ones) copied to my multi folder.

anyone else come accross this or something similar.

I did not use the built in multiboot features yet.

I'm gonna have to play around with it a bit and see exactly how your built in multiboot feature works.  Because just using regular disc mode may work the best for the way PowerPacker utalizes the DriverPacks.

BTW my neck is feeling much better since my last shot.  Hopefully that means it is healing without surgery. smile
