Wim is working on the metadata on the main site... I populated the site with input from a program i wrote...
Wim is now rewriting that program in python and experimenting with different layouts like xml vs. ini and the site will be in a state of flux as the upgrades are massaged into a more polished final product. The main idea is a search engine that will return all packs that support a given HWID... Pretty cool eh?
Pardon our dust, but some really cool stuff is in the works!
Yea Wim!

What about it Ra... you have been here forever and certainly know the ropes... what do you think?
I agree... But if they can not produce the disc or the Key or the purchase recipt then they don't have a legit copy do they?
bundled software from the OEM comes to mind as an example of your point 
In which case it is possable to extract from a ghost image 
Then you don't have a valid license... I don't EVER install software without proof of a valid license... 
If you lost it sorry about your luck... Not my Problem. Next time you will know the value of taking care of it.
When i worked in a PC shop this was our policy.
If you cant provide the original install disc with Key or at least Proof of purchase - end of discussion.
You could extract the files and reg entries from the image with no problem. But, I won't do this if they can't produce the install disc / Key... They call that piracy.
But how do you load a specific program from the ghost image?
I don't... I reinstall them 
It is strange... it cabs all the mass storage drivers NP. It is just setup.exe that is at issue. I can think of no logical reason for this.
hmmm...
And that is the best news we have had to date... Because that means a fix is close at hand!
Unfortunately we have several reports of similar issues by the testing team...
No one has been able to isolate the issue to a single pack...
The possablility exists it is a conflict between two third party packs...
the best advice we can offer is to try it with half the 3rd party DriverPack and then the other half. try to isolate it to a group first then narrow it to a pack or a limited combo of them...
the more info that is reported on this the faster we can get to the answer... if you have time we would love to hear more of your results.
It helps us to help you, and everybody else too 
This is not the first time we have had a cab compression issue... A search of our forum will yield many results for this and similar issues. However as i reviewed them i saw no common denominator... you can look too if you like...
Did you try to redownload DriverPacks BASE... perhaps it is a simple corupt download?
I asked specificaly about setup.ex_ ? is it read only (yes / no)
most AV programs will alert you, so that is probably not it... but checking the Log / quarantine is still a good idea just in case.
since DriverPacks BASE has millions of users and you are the only one with this issue we know that it is something quite specific that you alone are doing that several million other users are not... you have provided no info so far that helps isolate what that may be... but together we will continue to try to narrow it down...
I am really convinced that some AV or SpyWare program is interfering... just a guess
I Always image a machine before i begin work...
Ghost, disc image (forensic mode)...
(always verify image and open with GhostExplorer before formating target)
Then I Always virus scan - off line from BartPE...
Any settings files or registry entries may be retrieved at any time from a good backup (Ghost image) 
Look at the size of the registry after a repair :0
On access scanning / your antivirus program? (false positive)
C:\XPOEM\I386\SETUP.EX_ is read only?
(this attribute should have been removed by DriverPacks BASE --> 2009-08-17 18:13:57 : <PREP> Removed all attributes from \I386.
LoL that link won't work unless they are on the testing team 
and if they are they can and will see your post already (it is the one at the top
) 
Thanks for the logs it helps a lot!
I updated your "quote" tags to "code" tags 
IDK why you are having an issue... seems like it should do what you want...
Perhaps you needed to specify "ROE.exe 001" not "ROE.exe 1" 
However since you are customizing all this anyway you are just trying to do it the hard way.... Don't do it the hard way silly...
Just select 'custom' when you run DriverPacks BASE in the future
Then use this or similar Runonce.cmd
cmdow @ /HID
@echo off
FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\CD.txt SET CDROM=%%i:
SET KEY=HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx
REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%SystemDrive%\DPsFnshr.exe"
REG ADD %KEY%\002 /VE /D "Adobe Flash Player" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\002 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\Adobe\Flash\install_flash_player_10_active_x.msi /qn" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\003 /VE /D "Adobe Shockwave" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\003 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\Adobe\Shockwave\sw_lic_full_installer.msi /qn" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\004 /VE /D "System Settings" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\004 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Software\System\Oemlogo.cmd" /f
Exit
and skip the ROE.exe 001 in your cmdlines.txt
that will be cleaner, and easier to read / maintain 
Welcome to DriverPacks
PS I added "code tags" to your post please take a moment to 'edit' it to see how that is done 
PSS what does cleanup do?
Could you please post your DPs_BASE.log and your DPsFnshr.log?
Thanks a million for the good description and the HWIDs!
finisher log may span more than one post

LOL the one it is currently in
(he moved it already) Hee hee he...
the source path looks a little wild... it contains a "." and a " - " it may be a nested quote issue with DriverPacks BASE...
could you try useing a plain path like C:\DPsBASE\ and report if the issue still exists, or not?.
That is awesome you want to help...
Just to be clear you were able to get it to work with all the drivers in the pack. you jsut changed the load order in the DriverPack MassStorage INI file?
I have added you to the testing team... Welcome! A new forum is now visible to you!
Since you are using all the nightlies anyway you should be able to access and read the changelogs, and be aware of the issues we are trying to address with them... That way you won't be flying blind
.
I love the way you document and trouble shoot issues, I hope you will continue to help us to help you!
Jeff...
PS JakeLD will probably add that change... but you can give it a shot if you like, Info in Team forum

@OverFlow, Jeff, I think we have a new candidate for "Testing Team" status...what do you think?
I agree! (Why didn't I think of that
)
Welcome to the testing team!
Please find that the Testing Team forum is now available to you
and you can select a cool testing team banner "UserBar" if you like too 
link -> http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=3522
Edit... (added one for you
)
Jeff
@mr_s. Good thinking... as always!
It is our belief that all known hardware is supported for 2k 2k3 and XP...
If you find one that is not let us know. We will add it...
Since we average over a million downloads a week there are not many devices (if any) that have not yet been added...
Put another way... try it first. There is a 99.999999% chance ANY machine you could possably ever encounter is fully supported.
- Don't bother asking us if it is in there... We won't bother to look for you, sorry... because the odds that it is not supported are about one in a million...
But...
We never know if something is missing until somebody reports that missing unit
Since we have been adding drivers to Mass Storage and our other DriverPacks for over Five Years they are quite complete
.
Try it out and you can tell me

""
[Unattended]
DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
NonDriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
""
I can use my current disk and keep the 'prompt-repair' option working still?
I use driver packs for just base F6 AHCI/RAID drivers and network drivers only on rebuilt dell/oem disks
To be clear... As if there were any grey area left after somone had read the above thread...
The ENTIRE [unattended] section must be removed 
This is stated in at least three posts above
.
It doesn't matter how many lines that there are there... They must ALL be removed including the [UnAttended] line itself.
Optionaly you can just delete the entire WinNT.sif file
If you are not doing an unattended Install (like when doing a repair) then you don't need an unattended response file do you 
If you like I can see if we can get that translated into your language.

Thanks for all the feedback it makes it possable to be able to help.. It also will help anyone else in your situation ! 
DriverPacks Uses devpath as part of our process 
Look at presetup.cmd 
Better yet, try it run devpath on a D\ folder and look at that key afterwards 
You seem to have confirmed that larger files transfer faster...
Even when they are not copied from an ODD.
I don't think it is a good idea to start combining all of our packs into one single huge pack 
But. It is nice to know that if we do then we can shave about 25% off our extraction time.
Our users may combine them if they wish to do so 
- has anyone else tried this ????
PS the delay is windows Delayed Write (Disc caching) as you suspected
