Thanks for help so far but s you can tell i am a bit of a novice when it comes to this. I have tried several times with out no success to do this. I do not intentionally change the location and do not know why it does it. IS there a web page which gives you a tutorial/run through of what i should do when choosing the options before i use the slipstream button.

I cannot see what i am doing wrong.

Thanks for your patience.

You didn't do anything wrong, at least that's what the log tells me.

You can find that directory I asked you to check in the directory you selected as your Windows XP installation files location: G:\UPDATEDXP noOEM. That would make the full path to check:

G:\UPDATEDXP noOEM\$OEM$\$1\D\C\I\xp

. Could you please verify that this directory does exist?

That is one very weird problem then, since the exact same settings file (that defines which files must be CAB compressed) for ANY installation platform (not to mention the fact there is not a separate slipstream module for RIS yet).

It might be useful to enable the DriverPacks BASE's debug mode to get some extra debug info to work with. Please submit this issue to the bugtracker and also include the log file of the BASE after it was run in debug mode. You can enable debug mode by adding this entry to your DPs_BASE.ini:

[General]
debug = "yes"

@muiz:

2007-01-15 18:19:03 : <GUI>  Changed Windows installation files OR export (depending on the installation platform) location to G:\UPDATEDXP noOEM.
2007-01-15 18:19:03 : <GUI>  Windows XP Professional -  Retail SP2 detected.

He changed the location in the GUI.


@woodzter: can you confirm that the directory $OEM$\$1\D\C\I\xp does indeed NOT exist? Also, please use code tags next time wink

Could this be a charset error or similar? I just noticed the space in adpu160m .sys.

Yes I noticed that too in your log.

Did you modify DP MassStorage?

can you possibly add proxy support as the update checker dosent know to go to my proxy & or it needs to be able to authenticate to pass through the proxy.

cheers

Mark.

It automatically uses the proxy that is used by Internet Explorer, i.e. the system-wide defined proxy. I guess that if you're using Firefox, that this might not be set properly yet. Just set the proxy correctly in IE and the UpdateChecker will work.

You can make it manually (search for "drivers CD"), but the BASE does not allow you yet to make it in an automated way.

Uh, what did I say wrong or evil? 

I haven't yet slipstreamed any driver packs yet since they haven't got what I need yet, just yet; and I'm still learning all this out since Bashrat took a major break last year so I forgot about DriverPacks.  I have a single computer that can't risk a 'screwup'.   

What else don't you believe???  Argg.  guess I better go lurk again.   Sorry to offend.  Cya'll later

Once again, thanks for all your quick work!

I didn't even get around to post my testing results this time wink (not that there was anything worth noticing...)

According your current announcement, Bâshrat the Sneaky, I can only tell you that I can DL all files absoltely uproblematic!
(even the previous T-Online ISP issues are nonexistant).

The auto update also worked like a charm smile


Just wondering, though, since I couldn't find it in the changelog, has the DP extraction progress bar already been included in this version?

The extraction progress bar will be included in version 7.02. smile

I wanted to , but bashrat decided to bring out the pack when it was not finished yet.
So now you have to wait till the next version, im sorry.

You're putting it the wrong way, muiz.

We all (you, ruudboek and me) agreed that it was important to get this partial update already online, so that our users could confirm that the SiI3112r problems are indeed finished. Additionally, this would fix the problem in DriverPacks BASE 7.01.1 in which slipstreaming DP MassStorage text mode drivers did not work.

Whenever the next version of DP MassStorage WITH these new VIA drivers AND with more driver updates is ready, I'll put it online - whether that's today, tomorrow or next week. I don't see how it's a bad thing that this partial update is already online now.

So "I wanted to, but bashrat..." is not correct: I'm not to blame, and no one is. As far as I can tell, you haven't implemented it yet muiz, at least I don't see a new nightly in the Testing Team forum, so I don't understand why you are accusing me of something that's not even bad... And "you have to wait till the next version" can be tomorrow, the day after that, next week or whenever, whenever you, ruudboek and perhaps also Debugger are ready wink

Nowhere in the Finisher there is code that alters file attributes, that much I can assure you. I suspect it has something to do with KTD though, and more specifically with the Windows API functions that are used to apply KTD.

Lots of updates!

DriverPacks BASE 7.01.2: download and changelog. The highlights are: more updated translations and support for the new DP MassStorage lay-out.

DriverPack Graphics A 7.01: download and changelog. The highlights are: ATI and nVidia 8800 series drivers updated.

DriverPack MassStorage 7.01: download and changelog. The highlights are: all Silicon Image drivers updated, JMicron driver updated and VIA RAID driver updated; the issue with the SiI3112r and SiI3132 controllers is fixed (send "thank you" messages to muiz & ruudboek for that, they've sacrficed an entire weekend!) and the issue with the JMicron controllers is also fixed.


Warning:
- older MassStorage DriverPacks are NOT compatible with the new BASE
- older BASEs are NOT compatible with the new MassStorage
- any DP MassStorage starting from this one will be compatible with every new BASE!

There's a major bug in DriverPacks BASE 7.01.1: slipstreaming DriverPack MassStorage text mode is being skipped for an unknown reason.

This bug won't be fixed because we're working on 7.01.2 - along with DriverPack MassStorage 7.01, which will be NOT backwards compatible with previous BASE's. The reason is that the new DP MassStorage will be self-contained: it includes a (customizable) .ini file in which all settings are defined for txtsetup.sif/dosnet.inf. And of course, this had to be implemented in the DriverPacks BASE as well, which is why the new BASE won't be backwards compatible with older MassStorage DriverPacks either.

Everything is working nicely in the first RC, so a release is imminent.

Thank you for your understanding.

In DP_Sound_A_wnt5_x86-32_612.7z there is an old driver of Realtek AC'97:

Realtek AC'97 driver from 07/22/2006,5.10.00.6150 [3.91] to 11/23/2006,5.10.00.6200 [3.96]

It is not 3.96 included but 3.95 (build 5.10.00.6190)

Please add again the correct [3.96] version (build 5.10.00.6200):
ftp://152.104.238.194/pc/audio/WDM_A396.exe

Problems were reported with the 3.96 driver if I recall well, which is why 3.95 was chosen instead.

Is there a way to take this list of HWIDs generated by save_hwids and use it create a set of drivers for the pc? I have about 50 machines I'd like to RIS this week, and it'd be nice if I didn't have to copy all the drivers out to all the different machines when I know they all have the same hardware. Thanks!

Copying all drivers if you're using method 2 is at the very most a matter of a couple of minutes. It's MUCH more work to optimize the total filesize than it is to wait just 2 minutes extra wink

So it's definitely not worth the effort IMHO. Unless you're adminstering a huge computer park.

Bâshrat the Sneaky, do you mean to add that suffixes in inf file? If so, I agreed what it will works too. Digital sign absent in driver, so changing of inf file not so bad.

I've already applied this in the first 7.01 nightly of DP MassStorage that I uploaded, forgot to put it in the changelog I see now. Will fix that.
