WHohooo! Great!
One little comment however. How about a hyperlink pointing to driverpacks.net in the "About" screen?
Me lazy ...
Will test and overload my sun virtual machine

Re: Setup cannot copy the file: setupORG.exe (presetup.cmd) (43 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
Allright after verifying it seems most of the files relative to driverpacks use an absolute path. So copying the aformentionned files with BartPe will let Windows continue with the install but you're likely to get a few error messages and (I assume) windows will search for drivers where there's none, since even the .7Z files are expected to be in an absolute path.
(btw in my experiment, I got an error about C:\DSPdsblr.exe not being found)
So I guess no installing from a harddisk until this problem is dealt with

Well I am having the exact same problem and I think I know why this is happening.
I've done a zillion xp installs by making two partitions and copying I386 to the second partition and installing from there. It's much faster! I've also copied the entire CD into a particular folder (i.e.: D:\XP_CD) quite a few times. Never had a peep from windows.
Now that I've integrated the driver packs (THANKS!!!), the error pops up during install. First of all it can't find those two aformentioned files in D:\XP_CD\I386 when they are there and if you try to be smart and press ESC, windows will simply refuse to install when you reboot (boohoo).
It's clear (at least to me) that the problem is that the program made for DriverPacks requires an ABSOLUTE PATH while the install process for windows XP can handle a RELATIVE PATH. Tell windows to expect SETUPORG.EXE and presetup.cmd in ".\I386" instead of "\I386" and you're good to go.
BTW the only solution I found so far is to make a bootable XP CD with BartPE and then use this as a plateform to copy the two files POST installation style. Or I guess you could copy the contents of the CD at the root of the D: drive (or whatever drive suits your needs), which is not very useful if you ask me.
Hope this helped!!!
