you were right ,
I checked another command in the presetup and it worked.
I'm going to change my commands.
thanks for your help.

actually it's an autoit file. but how come it runs at 39min stage and not in the fake setup ?
could you tell me how did you add the presetup to this stage so i can add mine and check if it runs or not ?

Is your file actually an exe?
i know for a fact that autoit programs will fail at this point in winpe...

Like i said I've added my command to the presetup before, it's like : %systemdrive%\myfile.exe
But it didn't work. I'm sure it didn't even load.
However if i add it to the 39min stage it runs correctly.

It is already done.

So what should i do ? is there something else that i need to change ?

you are not installing to the same folder.

if the old folder is c:\windows you will need to use c:\winnt (or similar)

does that help?

Hi, it's about 2 years that I'm using the driverpacks and i really love it.

I've created an unattended windows xp and I've integrated the driverpacks into it.
In this method i use, it's impossible to format the drive before beginning the installation. so I have to delete the old windows folders first.
I can add my own .exe file to the 39-minutes stage to delete them all but it's a little late because the driverpacks needs about 2 GB before that.
So here is my problem, i don't have enough space for the huge amount of decompressed files so i need to run my .exe file before the "un7zip".
I've already tested the "presetup.cmd" and "DP_Install_Tool.cmd" but none of them worked !

I'm not sure if i did it right but is it really supposed to work this way or I'm making a mistake somewhere ?

thanks in advance
