(you can watch it run or use the "pause" technique - IE rem the finisher line in the script)
no, right now it is saying that dpinst deosnt exist in destination. im running it from C:\oem
this is getting ridiculous 
. i followed instructions in the original post. what is wrong here?

run DP_Install_Tool.cmd from the CD/DVD and let the script copy the files to the HDD
or run the DP_Install_Tool.cmd from c:\OEM\DP_Install_Tool.cmd after your manual copy. ps this is not neccessary - to copy manualy to the HDD - but will work just fine...that should cure your problems
didnt i do this already via your previous post? i copied manually the OEM folder from the DVD. then i ran the dp install tool from the oem folder on C:\

does OEM\DPINST.exe exist?
as i was responding i see the packs went to D folder but i went back to the command windows and nothing installed since it didnt find dpinst.exe
i copied the whole folder (OEM). why didnt dpinst go over. im investigatng
i just did it again. packs come over to C:\oem (where i copied the d:\oem folder) and i get the same dpinst.exe doesnt exist on destination error. but i look and dpinst.exe is in my c:\oem folder. what is going on here?

]]>nope you should find them in the root folder of the OS drive (typicaly C:\) after running DP_Install_Tool.cmd
IE after running the tool you should have (assumeing C: is %SystemDrive%)
c:\D\
c:\devcon
c:\dpinst.exe
ect...Which method are you useing?
$OEM$ extracted / cab compressed
or
OEM 7zipped DriverPacks
method 2
OEM 7zipped
the files are in the root of c:\ except for dpinst.exe. not there. i dont see it in c:\windows either

1 Double click on DP_Install_Tool.cmd on the ODD (Optical Disk Drive ie CD / DVD) {could be your local HDD too}
- this works with the extracted or cabbed drivers if they are in \$OEM$\$1\D
(obviously including the OEM\bin\*.* folder and OEM\dpinst.* and OEM\DP_Install_Tool.cmd, as listed above)
- this works with the DriverPacks as downloaded if they are in the OEM folder
(obviously including the OEM\bin\*.* folder and OEM\dpinst.* and OEM\DP_Install_Tool.cmd, as listed above)2 Double click on the DPINST.exe
***NOTE*** this only works if the drivers are extracted to a folder called \D\
IE If our ODD (or HDD) is D:\ and has the following layout-D:\D\{extracted or cab compressed driverpacks}
D:\DPINST.exe
D:\DPInst.xmli did the REM and the D folder has many folders. but i dont see the files you are talking about in the root of \D. are they somewhere else?
to be clear, the packs are there but i dont see any executables for the finsher and devcon, unless they are in another folder.
