Bump - Overflow?

Well that was the complete log I posted above.. Is there something I should be testing/something I've done wrong - tried again this morning, same affect.

Cheers,
Jack

So just finished a fresh install. Currently sitting in my C:\ are:

- D (Folder with DriverPacks extracted)
- DPsFnshr
- DevPath.exe
- hwids.txt
- setup.txt

Nothing else - is that 'finished'? SoundMax Tray Icon not installed however the driver seems to be...

Log is here: http://pastebin.com/Vej60JUz

Cheers,
Jack

Edit1: After reboot, only FDsPnshr disappears.

Upon re-imaging, and deploying via WDS - the issue seems to have fixed itself.

One thing though, I remember with the previous version of the Sound Packs that a SoundMax tray icon was installed. This is no longer happening under the system I am testing. It is being recognized under Device Manager though as Sound Max.

Cheers,
Jack

As for the DevPath entry, where would I be looking for that - I looked through 'RegEdit' and couldn't find a thing...

I assume by that you mean: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion,DevicePath'

Cheers, that would be why - its 'DevicePath' hehe, this is what is in entry:

Edit: Cleared it and re-ran 'DevPath.exe C:\D' had less in it this time as I had removed MassStorage (C:\D\M) as OFSP handles this - is anything astray? Something wrong?

Just got into work, this is how we stand (I figured pictures would be more beneficial):

http://i41.tinypic.com/9i5rt2.jpg

As you can see I am using M1 and my sysprep.inf is as follows:

http://i44.tinypic.com/2d1psu8.jpg

As for the DevPath entry, where would I be looking for that - I looked through 'RegEdit' and couldn't find a thing...

Cheers,

I call it within sysprep.inf - I believe it's 'runonce' isn't it? (not at work ATM til Monday).

Is there anything I can try to rectify this? Need to see any config settings/logs? Could it be an issue with an OFSP setting I might of screwed up or definitely DriverPacks?

Yes you missed something... You forgot to mention which version of BASE you were using... Looks like 10.04.01

This issue is related to upgrading from DPInst 2.01 to DPInst 2.1 the error was recently reported and the fix has not yet been found...
Please only use official releases for production applications, nightly versions are for testing only big_smile tongue

It is very important to provide good details if you want good support wink.
Please refer to "Read BEFORE you post" in my signature.
IE 4. Choose a good topic title. - Don't forget to MENTION the relevant DriverPack (or DriverPacks BASE) and its VERSION in the TITLE.

If you use BASE 8.12.5 you won't have this issue wink
Remember you can't use mass 10.x with BASE 8.12.5... Use Mass 9.01 first
- Only if DriverPack MassStorage 9.01 won't work then try 9.09.r6 (in / from the 'old' folder) It is the last nightly that will still work with BASE 8.12.5
- If you are using OLSP then it may not matter... but to be safe, even with OLSP, I recommend sticking to 909r6 or less wink

Thanks for the reply mate, no no, only using DriverPacks Base 8.12.5 (The one on the 'Latest Applications download page).

Also as I am using the MassStorage pack that comes with LiveXP, I currently don't download it manually - OFSP/LiveXP compiles it own MassStorage when creating the LiveXP .iso.

For other detailed information, I am simply using the 'Latest DriverPacks' for Windows XP - Chipset, CPU, Graphics A - B - C, LAN, Sound A - B, and WLAN.

you will have to run SAD before the desktop loads or the new hardware wizard will come up

or you will have to use devpath to point to your m1 source (use devpath before you reseal)

I have done devpath.exe C:\D before booting into LiveXP. Is this what you meant or am I missing something?

Afternoon all,

Just finished imaging, setting up WDS for unattended imaging of PCs. Using DriverPacks with Method 1 and S.A.D (using OfflineSysPrep for MassStorage) and upon bootup I received the following:

http://i42.tinypic.com/23utqbk.jpg

Upon looking at the minimized progress it has stopped on 'PnP' as the manager is busy. If I go to look at what hardware was found, it is 'Realtek AC'97' (Or something very similar) - if I cancel window, progress continues.

Ticked the boxes 'Mini-Setup', 'Don't reset Activation grace' (Using VLK), 'Don't regenerate SSID' and 'PnP'.

Update: Just before finishing, the 'New Hardware' popup appeared saying it had failed to install the 'Realtek AC' - I wasn't quick enough to get an image of the cmd window.

Update 2: Finished and booted onto Desktop. I then got a 'Windows Error Report' popup concerning 'IP'.. Also for some reason I have duplicate Internet Explorer Icons hmm

Ideas?

Cheers,
Jack

Can I help out Galapo? Need some instructions obviously but would be more then welcome to.

Cheers

3. Then image, upload to WDS and away I go.

I'm just trying to think, if I do that, how do I get my -bmsd MassStorage drivers included as OfflineSysPrep doesn't allow that....?

Yes!

you don't need -bmsd... simply OLSP... try it, you will like it.

Native drivers should / will be detected automaticaly.
The trick is setting the local HDD type to standard IDE and i think OLSP does that for you wink.

PS yes NEW sysprep.inf with call to dp_inst_tool and hal stuff...  wink

Followed you're instructions to the letter Overflow BUT once I deploy the image to the Workstation, it copys files, expands them, installs features, then does its reboot. I see the Windows XP logo and loading bar, then a black screen appears with the mouse hand THEN IT JUST POWERS OFF... no reason.

When I boot back I have the error: ""The System is not fully installed. Please run setup again"

HELP

I recomended M1... yes! and cautioned you that you SHOULD use QSC this will keep a copy of the Cabbed drivers so you will not have to do this very consuming process more than once wink. (unless you add or update a pack, even then it will only have to process the new DriverPack not any previously used DriverPacks)
PS make sure DriverPacks BASE is not run on the target machine you will want Base (with the QSC) on your personal workstation wink

once you have a M1 source (created on your workstation) copy all the files from DriverPacks.net to c:\ (on the target) and remove the now empty DriverPacks.net folder.

Please DO run devpath on C:\D (this adds all the drivers into the windows search path)

Call dp_inst_tool however you like... The tool will call the DriverPacks Finisher for you!
Note: ROE 937
- Simply adds a call to the DriverPacks Finisher
- The call is added to the local registry RunOnceEx (ROE) section so it is called the next time the machine boots wink)

The finisher removes the devpath entry from the registry and deletes all DriverPacks related files, and removes itself by adding a ROE entry to be executed on the next boot

Does that help?

Ah I love you smile haha. Thats sum everything up very nicely, once I get into work tomorrow I'll go ahead and do as you state - out of interest though, if I was wanting to call dp_inst_tool from my Sysprep, an acceptable entry in sysprep,inf would look like the below correct?

[GuiRunOnce]
Command0 = "C:\dp_inst_tool.cmd"

One last thing (I hope lol) - Galapo mentions that I should be doing the following as I want to include -bmsd within my Sysprep.inf and OfflineSysPrep doesn't allow that:

1. Set up DriverPacks, sysprep'ing with '-reseal -forceshutdown', rebooting the machine and letting DriverPacks install;
2. THEN booting into LiveXP, running OfflineSysPrep, injecting MassStorage drivers and sysprep'ing the machine for a second time with '-reseal -pnp -mini';
3. Then image, upload to WDS and away I go.

Does that seem correct? My thoughts are that if I let DriverPacks install (after the 1st Sysprep) that the system I will Image in the end is then ONLY setup for that type Hardware? Wouldn't it be better to only Sysprep once or Sysprep twice but don't let the machine bootup before an Image is taken? I'm a little confused on this last part.

Would the follow work/be a better option:

1. Set up DriverPacks, sysprep with '-reseal -forceshutdown'; [Meaning that I can use a NEW sysprep.inf with OfflineSysPrep so as not to have -bmsd content]
2. Boot into LiveXP, running OfflineSysPrep, injecting MassStorage drivers and sysprep the machine with '-reseal -pnp -mini';
3. Then image, upload to WDS and away I go.

I'm just trying to think, if I do that, how do I get my -bmsd MassStorage drivers included as OfflineSysPrep doesn't allow that....?

Cheers

Bump - just at work waiting anxiously... Should I be leaving DriverPacks.net or moving everything into C:...

Quad and you and many other people are aften confused about what this is...

The DriverPacks Finisher DOES NOT install drivers... let me repeat that the DriverPacks Finsher DOES NOT INSTALL DRIVERS!

the finisher determines if any installed devices need to have installers run...
It uses the info in each packs INI to determine if any of these cases exist.
once the exceptions are processed (cases) it deletes the /D/ folder, devpath, the INI's, and itself (after a reboot).

The finisher does as its name implies... it concludes the driver installation and cleans up the mess...

PS yes include the Mass Pack just don't check "Text Mode"

From your previous post, I read it as you were suggesting M2 as it would run through twice, resulting in better driver installations. If I have that muddled, and you are suggesting M1 please let me know and I will re-do the Sysprep.

Thank you for explaining ROE.exe 937 but you didn't quiet answer if it still needs to be run PRIOR to sysprep'ing the system - since I'm going to try M2 now I wont need to run DevPath but will I need to run ROE.exe 937?

I had 'Text Mode' selected, I'm re-doing my first Sysprep now without it.

An update - here are the 2 file structures after using S.A.D M2, QSC Enabled - The first is my C: and the 2nd is inside DriverPacks.net - do I know simply copy everything inside DriverPacks.net into C: (Deleting DriverPacks.net empty folder) and adding a line in my sysprep.inf under [GUIRunOnce] to DP_Install_Tool.cmd then sysprep the system?

I had 'Text Mode' selected, I'm re-doing my first Sysprep now without it.

You don't state whether you actually injected the DriverPacks mass storage drivers. Did you?

I did not lol, that could explain some things - no one told me what to select there so I left it all blank - From both this thread and 911 - on my 2nd Sysprep within LiveXP I will be selecting:

"Delete all users DRM files"
"Install all DriverPacks non-IDE Mass Storage Device(s)"

Is that all I should/need to be selecting to achieve what I want between both DriverPacks, OfflineSysPrep and my ULTIMATE GOAL of total annihilation- aka Universal image???

Cheers

Well after having great feedback from Galapo on the 911 forums concerning OfflineSysPrep I went ahead and did as he advised, but having some issues, after I:

Upload image to WDS, boot into Network PXE, Loads WDS - Grabs and installs Image from WDS.

Reboots to continue as is all normal, get to the "Please wait for Windows to setup..." screen, gets past that, start to see Black Background with Mouse Pointer then PC just Shutdown.....

The steps taken, I'll summarise the thread over at 911:

1. Run DP_Base using the S.A.D option (Using Method 2 you suggested above), move ALL files created under DriverPacks.net to C:
2. Extracted and ran 'DevPath' to C: \D
3. Ran 'sysprep.exe -reseal -forceshutdown' (had a previously created sysprep.inf with [SysprepMassStorage] populated by -bmsd)
4. Sysprep runs, shutdowns VMWare - I boot into LiveXP with OfflineSysPrep script installed
5. Run OfflineSysPrep on the offline VMWare HDD, using Administrator Profile and Automatic HAL detection on First Boot.
6. Select the 'Mini', 'PnP' and set to Quit - Hit Reseal and it does its thing.
7. Shutdown LiveXP
8. Reboot VMWare into PXE and capature and upload to my WDS
9. Then the above error occurs... well not really an error, just Shutdown.

Please help oh mighty ones tongue

Thanks once again for your in-depth replies Overflow - I will be sure to write an up-to-date guide as soon as I've finished my adventures so as others can benifit from our work.

As you have advised, went with Option 2 and just waiting for everything to compress etc now - once that is done, I will reconfigure my sysprep.inf to include the call to dp_inst_tool.cmd.

Should dp_inst_tool.cmd be called BEFORE or AFTER -minisetup? For example, can it be under GuiRunOnce or must it be called from i386/cmdlines.txt

Other then that I will then move everything from driverpacks.net to C: and run devpath. (I don't need to run ROE.exe 937 or anything like that with this SAD method? Also can I delete DriverPacks from C: - its just where I extracted DPBase to orignally?)

Thats it then correct? I should be able to simply run sysprep.exe -minisetup -reseal -forceshutdown and volia done? '

SIDENOTE: You mention that I SHOULD include MassStorage pack? I thought you mentioned it advisiable to use OfflineSysPrep for injecting MassStorage drivers?
If yes, I would still need to run sysprep.exe -bmsd and HWID program?

SIDENOTE 2: I've used Vernalexs' SysPrep Driver Scanner in the past (basically writes a reg entry to avoid the limit with OemPnPDriversPath) should/do I need to run this with the above method or will it break things?

Cheers

Bumping it for justice - I have read the FAQ and completed the below steps:

1. Downloaded DPBase 8.12.5, moved all Driver packs I wanted to C:/DriverPacks/DriverPacks (Except MassStorage as I will be using OfflineSysPrep for this)
2. Ran DPBase, selected S.A.D option, left Browse as C: - selected all the Driver Packs, selected Method 2, enabled QSC, selected nVidia and ATI Control Panels, and hit SlipStream.

Now I'm alittle lost as to what I should be doing before running SysPrep.

From what I've covered - I should now remove 'DriverPacks' just leaving DriverPacks.net in the base of C: - then I need to extract deploy.cab to C:/SysPrep - run the SetupMgr and create my sysprep.inf with dp_inst_tool.cmd being called under 'runonce'.

I then need to run 'OfflineSysPrep' to inject my MassStorage drivers, restart into the system and then 'SysPrep' the system, uploading to WDS once its done?

Cheers

Thanks for the prompt reply guys, left work now, but will post logs tomorrow.

However, in response to OverFlow, this is what I have done so far to make a Universal Image (and has work on 2 different Compaq's and a Dell) but if your suggesting a better, more optimised way I'm all for it.

1. Extracted appropriate files (BASE, DPsFnshr.ini, DPsFnshr.7Z and ROE) to desired folders.
2. Extracted all desired Driver Packs to C:\D (Apart from MassStorage as they are causing huge issues - see: http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=4359)
3. Ran C:\DevPath.exe C:\D
4. Added paths to KTD (paths:D\G;D\L etc) and KTDlocation = "%SystemRoot%\Options\Drivers" to DPsFnshr.ini
5. Added UpdateInstalledDrivers=Yes and DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore to sysprep.inf
6. Issued the command C:\sysprep\ROE.exe 937
7. Downloaded and ran the Vernalex SysPrep Driver Scanner which added a reg entry for everything in C:\D and C:\Windows\Inf
8. Added the line UpdateUPHAL="ACPIAPIC_MP,%WINDIR%\inf\hal.inf" to sysprep.inf
9. Ran the .bat:

@echo off
cd C:\SYSPREP

echo Enabling image for AMD and Intel processors
reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\intelppm" /v Start /t REG_DWORD /d 4 /f

echo Running sysprep and shutting down.
sysprep.exe -forceshutdown -mini -reseal

The resulting image was then captured with WDS (Equalling 9GB). If your saying theres a better and easier way to achieve this, PLEASE PLEASE do tell, as I need to get this 'image' live for about 200 machines in the coming weeks.

I looked at this SAD thing you suggested, it seems interesting but I am a little lost - is what your saying; I can SCRAP all what I've done above and JUST extract everything to C:\D (Minus MassStorage) and simply have a scripted called "DP_Install_Tool.cmd" in the \$OEM$\$1\ of my WDS server, with the command DPInst.exe /c /s inside it?

Thanks,
Jack

Just finally created a universal image of Windows XP Professional with DriverPacks intergrated (I LOVE YOU GUYS haha) but upon startup of the various machines I was met with a few different varying senarios:

1. On one machine I was greeted with the 'Continue' this driver doesnt have Windows Logo crap popup - thought DriverPacks was meant to surpass this?
2. On the other two machines I was created with the 'Found New Hardware' popup - I'm thinking if I could suggest possibly somehow surpassing these popups until KTD has finished THEN Microsoft can run the 'Find New Hardware' scan..

Ideas before I roll this Image live within the company?

Thanks so much for your help Quad-Damage - however I am alittle confused as to what .bat scripts of yours I should be running.

Firstly I see this one (on Page 6):

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@echo off

:DRIVER_HAL_UPDATE
    SET HAL=

    IF %NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS%==1 (
        devcon.exe /find @ROOT\ACPI_HAL\0000 | find /i "Multiprocessor" > NUL && SET HAL=ACPIAPIC_UP
        devcon.exe /find @ROOT\PCI_HAL\0000 | find /i "Multiprocessor" > NUL && SET HAL=MPS_UP
    ) ELSE (
        devcon.exe /find @ROOT\ACPI_HAL\0000 | find /i "Uniprocessor" > NUL && SET HAL=ACPIAPIC_MP
        devcon.exe /find @ROOT\PCI_HAL\0000 | find /i "Uniprocessor" > NUL && SET HAL=MPS_MP
    )

    IF NOT "%HAL%"=="" (
        ECHO.
        ECHO ----------------------------------------
        ECHO Installing %HAL% HAL
        ECHO ----------------------------------------
        ECHO.

        devcon.exe sethwid @ROOT\PCI_HAL\0000 := !E_ISA_UP !ACPIPIC_UP !ACPIAPIC_UP !ACPIAPIC_MP !MPS_UP !MPS_MP !SGI_MPS_MP !SYSPRO_MP !SGI_MPS_MP
        devcon.exe sethwid @ROOT\ACPI_HAL\0000 := !E_ISA_UP !ACPIPIC_UP !ACPIAPIC_UP !ACPIAPIC_MP !MPS_UP !MPS_MP !SGI_MPS_MP !SYSPRO_MP !SGI_MPS_MP
        devcon.exe sethwid @ROOT\PCI_HAL\0000 := +%HAL%
        devcon.exe sethwid @ROOT\ACPI_HAL\0000 := +%HAL%
        devcon.exe update %windir%\inf\hal.inf %HAL%
        devcon.exe ReScan

        ECHO.
        ECHO ----------------------------------------
        ECHO Rebooting
        ECHO ----------------------------------------
        ECHO.
        devcon.exe Reboot
    ) ELSE (
        ECHO.
        ECHO ----------------------------------------
        ECHO Correct HAL Detected
        ECHO ----------------------------------------
        ECHO.
    )
GOTO :EOF
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Then just above you mention:

@echo off
cd C:\SYSPREP

echo Enabling image for AMD and Intel processors
reg add "HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Services\intelppm" /v Start /t REG_DWORD /d 4 /f

echo Running sysprep and shutting down.
sysprep.exe -forceshutdown -mini -reseal -quiet -activated

And you also mention to add the line "UpdateUPHAL="ACPIAPIC_MP,%WINDIR%\inf\hal.inf"" to my SysPrep.inf - Should I just be using the last .bat or both or...?

Thanks

Good afternoon,

Some of you might of been following me on my endevaours to create a Universal Image for our PCs/NBs here at work. However, with mostly everything sorted, I am now working on including drivers from DriverPacks into the Sysprep process.

The issues I've had over the last 2 days is that there seems to be something I'm doing, or an error in the MassStorage zip (Thinking its more myself tho).

Following all the instructions here:

http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic. … 805#p11805

[Minus MakePNF] and also running the HWIDS.bat, removing any spaces that have been placed by the script and copying it below the output provided by 'sysprep.exe -bmsd'.

I then go to run sysprep -mini -reseal -forceshutdown and about 15 minutes later a popup occurs asking about:

PM1554U2 Ultra2 Single Channel being unsigned and do I allow it, I obviously hit continue but the entire Sysprep process is borked/broken/stopped (left it overnight with no luck).

NOTE - I have 'Ignore Unsigned Drivers' enabled so all other drivers DON'T pop up until the above...

Thinking I would be smart, I go ahead, and search for PM1554U2 Ultra2 Single Channel, remove the folder altogether, run -bmsd and HWIDS again - and now its pops up/stops on an Adaptec one that I missed the full name of.

This is getting a little annoying because if I remove MassStorage altogether its fine.. but I need it to be in there for a TRUE Universal Image.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply Quad-Damage, couple questions though:

Before you sysprep in command cd/sysprep/roe.exe 3937

Should that be ROE.exe 937 or actually 3937?

I'll give this ago tomorrow when back in the office and report back.

Thanks!

Good afternoon,

I come here in desperation and a little bit of frasutration smile. Over the past few weeks I have been tasked with setting up our WSUS and WDS Server at work (YAY IS ME... haha) and after successfully implementing WSUS I moved onto WDS.

This is were the hair pulling begins. We currently have a number of PCs around the Office used by Employees (Ranging from Dells to HPs, and one or two old school Compaqs - they range from UP to MP so where it all began). I than have to deal with our Thin Clients which are deployed to our Customers.

First things first, we'll deal with Employee PCs/Laptops:

Shortly after I began my new venture, I learnt of HAL and the issues of Drivers the hard one, here I am, Sysprep'in a PC, capturing the image with WDS and then imaging the 10 or so of those HP machines - I'm thinking BRILLIANT couldn't be easier - WRONG haha.

Long story short (so as not to make this a WALL OF TEXT) - I discovered DriverPacks, tried following the instructions posted on the first page of this Sticky (well outdated I'm sure), tried various applications like MySysPrep etc to no avail.

After reading through this sticky, I'm somewhat even more lost now (haha) - hearing good things about OfflineSysPrep but don't quite understand it fully, or think it suits what I'm trying to do. Here is what I have atm, and hope someone can point me in the right direction - I would be more than happy to write an update HOWTO guide for the public once this DILEMMA is over.

1. Installed XP Pro on fresh machine
2. Installed SP3 - various Hotfixes/Patches
3. Installed our companys' various required Applications (Anti-Virus, Altiris, VNC etc)
4. Downloaded all the 'latest' DriverPacks packages and extracted them all to C: (C:\D, with the .inf in C: )
5. Have all the SysPrep tools from the Deploy.cab extracted to C:\sysprep
6. ROE.exe in C:\sysprep, DPsFnshr.ini and extract DPsFnshr.7Z to C:, DevPath.exe in C: and also ATICCC.ins in there.

Then gone ahead and imaged it with Ghost (learnt the hardway, had to rebuild the above setup numerous times after 'bad' images) - and awaiting your feedback.

On a sidenote: I hope to go completly 'unattended' with WDS as I had done when I was imaging those 20 or so PCs I did successfully before (Using sysprep.inf and an unattended .xml on the WDS server).

Looking forward to hearing where I've been going wrong.
