Please remove the '=' character from your path and retry.

Could also be the spaces in "Ducuments and Settings" I guess.

Dunno if AutoIt has problems with that, but I have encountered a lot of programs that "choke" on this, unless you put the whole path in quotation marks.

Re: [SOLVED] CAB compression error

Ok then, that's good to hear smile

Re: [SOLVED] CAB compression error

Well,
I've put the DPs_BASE_6082 folder on the root (C:)
also the XPCD source on the (C:)
but I recieved the same error
Can you help me with that
I really wish to remove the D folder from system drive after windows finisg installing
so if I failed to use the new driver base
any way to do it manually with a apatch or something
I've tried the patch posted here by other members but did not worked for me
so any one here can help with the current situation or with an explained clear way to remove the D folder
I'm using WPI to install every thing
Thanks
Mohamed

Thanks a lot
sorry for rush and hurry up things
I do appreciate your help

Re: [SOLVED] CAB compression error

When do you learn that its not just you here.

Re: [SOLVED] CAB compression error

Problem solved
I was using an old version for the driver packs
when I updated the driver packs nothing happened, every thing slipstreamed correctly
I've realized that the sturucture is different some how, especially the file .DS_Store it was not exist in the driver pack I was using so I think the new driver base must be used with the latest updated driverpacks
Thanks a lot
LESSON LEARNED

Glad that it's solved now wink
