Re: [Request] Fake setup.exe source (12 replies, posted in Software)
well i found Pyrons original post and one version of the source code for setup
http://www.msfn.org/board/SOLVED-driver … ntry159358
#include "windows.h"
int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
LPSTR lpCmdLine,
int nCmdShow )
{
SHELLEXECUTEINFO mySHELLEXECUTEINFO;
mySHELLEXECUTEINFO.cbSize=sizeof(SHELLEXECUTEINFO);
mySHELLEXECUTEINFO.fMask=SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS;
mySHELLEXECUTEINFO.hwnd=NULL;
mySHELLEXECUTEINFO.lpVerb="Open";
mySHELLEXECUTEINFO.lpFile="cmd.exe";
mySHELLEXECUTEINFO.lpParameters="/C setup.cmd";
mySHELLEXECUTEINFO.lpDirectory=".";
mySHELLEXECUTEINFO.nShow=NULL; // or SW_SHOW;
ShellExecuteEx(&mySHELLEXECUTEINFO);
WaitForSingleObject(mySHELLEXECUTEINFO.hProcess,INFINITE);
return 0;
}
I also noticed you added the last post to that thread... today in fact...

Welcome to the forum dutchtraveller and bajargratis
thanks for your interest and taking the time to 'vote'.
Vista will absolutely have 64bit support.
It is only the XP platform we are discussing whether to support in 64 bit or not...

Re: [Request] Fake setup.exe source (12 replies, posted in Software)
nope it never has been available to me - nor do i know who wrote it...
fake setup and presetup.cmd both run from %systemRoot%\system32\
Why in the world would i need the 'fake' setup program to return that value????
(i already have two variables that return that value... SystemDrive and SystemRoot.)
[scratches head and is confused]
you said "Indeed, if there's a Hard Disk with a OEM folder/file at root, then identification is corrupted."
Um no if there is a folder at root named OEM then we have found the DriverPacks.
(we are the only ones who use this name
if you use it for something else then shame on you,
pick a different name)

Re: drivers only cd (61 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
well this is a standard 845 chipset MB your list of devices are all supported.
845 chipset is supported is in DriverPack Chipset
Intel Pro\1000 is supported is in DriverPack LAN
Intel Extreme Graphics Driver is in DriverPack Graphics B
IDK why they would not be updated...
perhaps seeing your %SystemDrive%\DP_Install_Tool.log will shed some light on the problem.
( probably located at C:\DP_Install_Tool.log )

yes the sad disk can be created without a source OS as long as you dont want cab compression.
if you require cab compression you will need 2k 2k3 or xp OS to trigger base into doing the cabbing
I will probably add the abblity to create a SAD disk from base as an option / platform. it seems to be a popular feature.
a sad disk will work on 2000 XP or 2003

Re: Add DriverPacks to Microsoft ERD Commander 2007 (13 replies, posted in DriverPack Mass Storage)
well to be legal you should have a "licence" for each disk you burn
IE if i use a winxp source my cd burns one of my XP licenses (just like it was a PC)
so if licensing is the issue, that is addressable, just make sure you have a valid license for each PE disk you have.
If Galapo thinks you can use liveXP... i would certainly try it
thanks for you interest and kind words... we will see where this leads keep us 'posted'

if there is a dpinst.log then it did run... how big is the log like 800k or so? (typical for all packs)
since you devices are not installing it might be nice to see the HWIDS perhaps they are not in the packs...

Re: Add DriverPacks to Microsoft ERD Commander 2007 (13 replies, posted in DriverPack Mass Storage)
mass storage support for ERD is based on you provideing a driver with the oemtext file
we dont use those as we integrate the drivers directly...
so it looks like the mass storage option is out...
it looks as though you could add the network drivers - one at a time.
that doesnt sound like any fun...j
it probably could be done but it will require some more digging around to see exactly what must be done.
the ubcd4win option is easier lol

Re: drivers only cd (61 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
first you should see a popup when the packs extract
then
dpinst.exe runs and it logs to the screen (in the blue window several thousand lines and takes a few minutes) .
it will list stuff like:
INFO: RETURN: DriverPackagePreinstallW (0xE000020B)
INFO: Preinstalling 'e:\\d\c\i\xp\e727505.inf' ...
INFO: ENTER: DriverPackagePreinstallW
INFO: Looking for Model Section [INTEL_SYS]...
INFO: No matching devices found in INF "e:\\d\c\i\xp\e727505.inf"
if you see lines like the above scrolling by it is working !
if the dpinst file wasn't found it would have paused and put a message up like DPINST.exe doesn't exist
since it did not pause and give an error i can only assume it worked correctly

Re: drivers only cd (61 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
the finisher deletes the files and creates a runonce entry to delete itself after you reboot - that is normal.
dpinst should have run just before the finisher did... there whould have been a window visible while it ran for a few moments...
i added two debug lines to the cmd file to help you... please use the code below in your DP_Install_Tool.cmd for a test run
