DOES it work when you run the tool / script from c:\OEM\ ?

(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?

now i know what is wrong!!! woo hoo...

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:\

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

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

IE after running the tool you should have (assumeing C: is %SystemDrive%)

c:\D\
c:\devcon
c:\dpinst.exe
ect...

well the two i was refering to were...

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.xml

i 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.
