No problem, I especially like the updater..."where did you get that?" LMAO

I had to switch to driverforge to be able to get this working. Its working great now with WPI. Thank you for all your help

BTW, in that beta you had me try- when you choose on "stand alone disc" it still asks for slipstream method. Maybe I am missing something?

I R an idiot:) The method I am using is the presetup, I guess it loads before t-39, not at t-39.  Anyway, that variation works 95% of the time, once in a while there will be a odd device not found or a audio driver with issues, but running the driverpacks after first boot seems to bring more errors and fewer found devices. Just as a test, I tried DriverForge with a usb drive and the same driverpacks, it found everything. I dont like the interface though, I want to stick with this if I can get it to be happier

Currently on my DVD, I have a LOT of different versions of XP- if I can get the driverpacks to install via wpi, then I can cut out half of the version and it will take half the time to rebuild every time I update

I tried the "/c /s /sh /lm /el" first, it slowed the install down to a crawl. Took a long time and kept halting on errors about not being signed. Still didnt find all the drivers like it does at t-39.

I then tried the new DPbase, and it acts the same way, cant find the drivers and painfully slow in comparison to the t-39 method

Thank you for giving it a shot, if you think this is a method worth looking into more I am happy to test whatever you throw at me

Will I only need to change the occurrence in "main"? I notice "m1found" has one as well

SET /p TPP=Only DriverPacks or Finisher and DriverPacks? (O or F)

I am having a bit of trouble, first off I have a multiboot DVD with DP working perfectly DURING install.
The problem is, I also use the DVD as an install DVD for software and as such I figured why not use the DPINST.exe since is already there. I call it from WPI and have tried before and after thew desktop loads. I quickly figured out that I needed to modify my DP_Install_Tool.cmd and now DP appear to be working. Here is the section I needed to modify (cant remember the user that reported this, I "borrowed" it:) )

Well, it looks like it is installing just fine but I end up with many components with asterisks next to them (before the DP install they are unknown devices) and this does not occur when they are installed at t-39. Any ideas?
