you answered your own question yes you did! DevPath.exe C:\

millenium edition is there too.... but...

I'm reverting yet another laptop loaded with Vista to XP for a customer that just hates Vista.

Bâshrat the Sneaky reference to the branch was an offer to let you add your functionality to the base itself.

by making a separate branch it would allow for simultanious development without preventing releases from happening if one or the other team was not ready.

if you wish to provide your stand-alone application that simply uses the packs themselves looks like you have full support of Bâshrat the Sneaky and the team.

PS. You might have sold BartPE short. It certainly can be fully customized and automated.
UBCD4Win is an excellent example of that.

you forgot to mention that the surface of cheap cdrw and dvdrw can delaminate as a result of the type and quality of the varnish that is used on the upper surface.

I'm glad you guys had so much fun with this thread.

@helmi  - I deliberately did not get technical on this subject, but i'm glad you did =P

Quite simple to do
Just create a CD useing method 1

PS its over 300 meg useing method 2 and around 500 useing method 1 with all packs selected.

PPS You can put the cab compressed drivers that are in the $OEM$ folder after method 1 on a CD by themselves for what you want, furthermore, fully extracting the drivers from the 7zip archives will result in over 1 gig of drivers.

The folder OEM is deliberately named - It implies that it is to be copied to the windows installation drive.

The same as the $OEM$ folder windows uses, however, we extract the archives from the OEM folder, not copy it, so it is similar yet quite different.  The name OEM is therefore very descriptive and obviously deliberate to an experienced tech.

the mass storage archive also exists in OEM because the text mode versions of drivers are often very limited and are designed to be used only for partitioning and copying (as the name implies during text mode portion of set up only) and are usually not the full drivers that are actually used when plug and play loads for the windows OS.

The mass storage drivers in the OEM folder are the complete driver installations that windows requires to operate at full efficiency.

The only stupid question is the one never asked!

I got intrigued and did some looking around for some stats that weren't just pulled out of thin air.

so it looks like you guys might be right Vista users have tripled since january!

of course 3 x .6 is still less than 2%   which means about as many people are useing Vista as are still useing Windows 98

and one site reported 62,000,000 million users for XP  - 2,000,000 million for 98  and  46  (4 dozen)  for Vista.
(heck even win 95 still had 26,000 thousand users (although it puzzels me they even got on the net ))
I'm still with hilander we can wait till sp1 is out for Vista (after they are are done being sued by Lucent and the DRM gets flushed down the toilet.) and they have to totaly rewrite the core / kernel and have a 600 meg patch. 

ROFL

I would like to point out here I have hated the initial release of every windows operating system that ever came out
and yes I mean starting with windows  (before it even had a version) nov of 1983 - tried it - hated it - used dos 2 instead

(I long for the simplicity of dos 3.3)

the rewritable media are not as reliable as WORM media. That is not unusual.

Never put backups or info you wish to store for long periods on rewritable.

I think te answer is obvious.

with a new install everything is created specificaly to the platform you installed on.

when you use an image the creation process is already done, and won't be done again.

perhaps RIS is your answer?

when I use ghost images I create a ghost image for each platform.

if the platforms both use the the same controller for the HDD it will work
if not you wont even get to safemode youll get the "7B" bsod error
(incorrect HDD driver)

its probably something to do with QSC and Method 1 or an error in the pack's ini, I'll look at the code and see if i can spot it
