But I'm confident it works. Sounds like it was an easy fix.
Thanks a bunch for the help.
(apologies for the very delayed response.)
]]>I got a second report of a similar issue and it put me over the top on finding the culprit code!!!!
I posted my findings in the other thread here http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic. … 093#p36093
Good news!!!
]]>coffee, check...

Ill respond to the bugtracker report when I confirm your result!
PS Thanks for putting a ticket in over at the bugtracker!
yeah since you end up with GARBAGE that makes it "critical"... even of the occurance level is low 
.
since it causes a "critical error"
I submitted a formal bug report. I marked it as "major" since it yields a non-functional disc, but perhaps it's a "minor" issue because it's very uncommon.
Keep me posted on what happens, yeah? I'm at least interested in confirming that it's not just me.
]]>Ill give it a shot... since it looks like i will be slipstreaming it anyway .
[offtopic] I do recommend using that defrag program. It's pretty awesome. It's open source and has offline defrag support. That's not to mention that it weighs in at under 1MB. [/offtopic]
]]>Looks like a bug, quacks like a bug... must be a bug. 
I'm on it!
PS full logging may help me.
"dps_base /debug"
PS Yes! Please get me your addon for testing! ( i could even chek my own log then )
But just for you, I ran it again on an install I created with all of my updates and whatnot. As you'll see below, no previous driver packs had been integrated. Upon using DriverPacks BASE to integrate some driverpacks, the entries for my defragmenting program are removed from TXTSETUP.SIF.

My conclusion is that it's a bug. I'm more than willing to provide you with my AddOn if you want to test it yourself. For now I'm just integrating the AddOn after DriverPacks BASE and all is well.
]]>dosnet and txtsetup are restored from backup if DriverPacks BASE detects it was previously run.
It is possable that you relipstreamed into a source that was previously "BASEd"...
On the subsequent run txtsetup.org and dosnet.org are restored to txtsetup.sif and dosnet.inf...
the .org files may have been created before you mad your "additions"... what do you think?
Just a thought...
]]>There is also an associated *.SYS file with the INF. There is ultradfg.INF and ultradfg.SYS.
DriverPacks BASE is only supposed to alter files marked as replace in the mass ini...
DriverPacks BASE is only supposed to add files not excluded with a skip tag
DriverPacks BASE will only modify files that are listed in the mass ini as "TAG" in the format TAG.sy?
since your filename ultradfg does not exist in the mass INI anywhere at all it would never be in the list for any file operations.
Only listed files are altered in any way
Other examples:
hivecls.inf = 100,,,,,,_x,,3,3
hivedef.inf = 100,,,,,,_x,,3,3
hivesft.inf = 100,,,,,,_x,,3,3
hivesys.inf = 100,,,,,,_x,,3,3BASE doesn't touch those, however.
"Breaking the rules" solved the issue. If you're still interested in troubleshooting it, however, I can get you the DIFF and LOG files that you're requesting. I'd like to wait until I get my laptop (the one mentioned in my other thread) up and running before I do that, however, because the computer I'm on is an Athlon XP 2600+ 
.
edit--
Also, _x means that the file is not compressed (it's *.INF not *.IN_). So yes, in a manner of speaking, that can be translated as "Source is a Windows CD," but I never really thought of it like that. It makes sense, though.
edit2--
There is also an associated *.SYS file with the INF. There is ultradfg.INF and ultradfg.SYS. I'm integrating Ultra Defrag 3.
position 1 = 100 means SP1 file
position 7 = _x means Source is the windows CD
position 8 is blank and is the destination directory ???
Position 9 = 3 means Upgrade code 3 never copy
did i read that right?
Just delete that line it is a file copy instruction that says not to copy a file...
that is just silly get rid of that line!
lol)since ultradfg is not found in DriverPack MassStorage ver 9.01 there is no reason it would be altered by base...
Only files who match the ms_1_tag= line are ever altered... and only if the ms_1_exc_disableIfOS= line is not set...
Not only is that not a related file name BUT *.INF files are never touched, only *.sys references...
Hint: use examdiff on the file before and after DriverPacks... Both with and without your addon (three tests)
IDK how the two things could possably be related ??? and nothing you mentioned so far leads us to any answer.
It seems to me you probably should break the rules in this case, run your addon after DriverPacks... What happens?
Does this only happen with a particular mass storage pack... Or with any? Which ones? Which version of DriverPacks BASE are you using?
Check read before you post and update some details and try the above ideas...
IE let's see your DPs_BASE.log please
thanks for reporting.
PS what were the lines preceding and following the ultradfg.inf = 100,,,,,,_x,,3,3 line? (just a few both ways please, obviously we need before and after DriverPacks)
]]>I wrote an Addon Pack that integrates an INF file during textmode, but DriverPacks seems to be interfering with it.
I made an ISO, everything worked fine in the VM. No errors in the setup log. Everything was perfect.
Then when I integrated DriverPacks, I got this:
Naturally, I checked SourceDiskFiles, and apparently DriverPacks BASE is removing the reference to it from that section. Here is how it's referenced:
ultradfg.inf = 100,,,,,,_x,,3,3BASE seems to be removing that line, for whatever reason. I'm guessing it has something to do with (a) the file isn't compressed, and (b), the file isn't copied to the local drive (e.g., the INF folder). I tried renaming the file to *.SIF to see if that would fix the issue, and it didn't. So I renamed it to *.WTF, and that didn't work either. So BASE isn't freaking out on the filetype. It's getting angry with the entry itself.
I've tested this precise issue at least half a dozen times. I'm positive it's DP Base that's causing the problem.
If it helps, this is where I'm using the INF file (these sections are in TXTSETUP.SIF):
