Hi Jaak,

Thanks for the warm welcome! I guess you could say I have the balls, but... whether I have the means, that is another question lol I am quite new to all this! This is currently something I have some time to spend on (for the next month or two), so I don't mind a bit of fishing for answers. I generally try to post only when I have run out of patience.

I wasn't aware of the new RC, thanks for letting me know. I guess I'll try to remember to check more often! I will post again when I've tried the new packs.

With the new base RC and latest test packs, the soundcard, CPU, and RAID all install fine, only the ethernet does not (still with the same error about signing). Perhaps I will test with this PC again soon with new test packs to see if the problem goes away.

Maybe there is a way to achieve what I want to do with the official releases and I am oblivious to it? My goal is to be able to have many up to date virtual machines with various operating systems (Xp home, xp pro, vista 32, vista 64, etc). When I build a new PC, I PXE boot linux, mount the relevant VM disk as a network block device, and dd the partition to the new hard disk. I then reboot and PXE boot LiveXP, run OfflineSysPrep to inject mass storage drivers. Finally, I reboot into windows and run DP_Install_Tool. So far I have everything working except the DP_Install_Tool.

Re your 2nd post: I think I can get past the quirkiness (I just had to read some things twice haha), thanks for the info - I had no idea they made it so difficult for you guys.

Once again, I'm using version 8.09.rc1 of the driverpacks, with the 'stand alone driver disk' option. I compiled the driverpacks, and copied the output to the new PC, and ran DP_Install_Tool.cmd.

The first issue was the hardware wizard popping up saying AMD processor has been installed, and I had to click Finish for DPInst to continue. Just an annoyance really not a major issue. DPInst.xml shows suppressWizard flag is set.

But the main problem was DPInst would not install my ethernet, soundcard, or raid drivers - all of these drivers are present in the driverpacks I'm using (LAN, Sound A, MassStorage versions 8.05).

Inspection of DPINST.LOG shows each of these had an error like this:

ERROR:  Unsigned driver. Possibly rejected by user. (Error code 0x800B0100: No signature was present in the subject.)

or

ERROR:  RETURN UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices. (Error code 0x800B0100: No signature was present in the subject.)

However, if I manually point the hardware wizard to the locations in the driverpacks indicated by where DPInst tried to install from, they install fine. I have checked DPInst.xml and legacyMode flag is set. I have also tried editing DP_Install_Tool.cmd and adding /LM to DPInst.exe command line, but it made no difference.

My logs (DPINST.LOG, DPsFnshr.log, DPs_BASE.log) can be found here: http://members.optusnet.com.au/bombasti … 2/Logs.zip

Help would be much appreciated please smile

Edit: It's possible the below problem may have been caused by running out of diskspace... however, windows didn't give any error message about low on disk space. I only just noticed that the oemdiskextend thing from sysprep didn't work, but I'd already cleaned up driverpacks so I don't know if this is the cause. I guess I'll have to wait till next time I build a PC to verify this...

Original post: I'm using version 8.09.rc1 of the driverpacks, with the 'stand alone driver disk' option. I compiled the driverpacks, and copied the output to the new PC, and ran DP_Install_Tool.cmd. It seemed to go OK for awhile (except I had to manually close some device manager windows which came up), then an error popped up:

AutoIt Error
Line -1:
Error: Unable to execute the external program.
The system cannot find the file specified.

Here are my logs:

http://members.optusnet.com.au/bombasti … s_BASE.log
http://members.optusnet.com.au/bombasti … sFnshr.log

Also, the Audigy driver didn't work, it had a yellow exclamation mark in the device manager, I think the error was the driver not present error. And at the end of DPsFnshr.log, Audigy.exe is there, so perhaps this is tied to the AutoIt error...

When windows booted up, I got an error about Rundll32.exe and nvcpl.dll, then when I shutdown, I got an error about ALCMTR.exe. I suppose these problems are tied with the finisher not ... finishing?

Please help smile
