Topic: [SOLVED] GUI MINOR issues DriverPack Sound B 6.08.1

hi
I launch DPsbase (it has no ini yet)
it hilites english, I hit apply
hit arrow to next page

it goes to choice disc multiboot where none of the two are ticked, with browser button.
click browser, show it where source is
disc is automatically filled in, and i hit the arrow to proceed.
(when I think about what happened, I did not notice the scan... I hit the arrow when I saw the disk option was filled in.)

it goes to driverpacks update check, everything is up to date
hit arrow
get the about page.
hit exit
(well, I know something is wrong... it skipped pages...)

the INI I got as result

[General]
; preferred language
prefLang	= "English"
; yes/no, enable or disable the wizard-style buttons, if not specified: yes
wizardButtons	= "yes"
; yes/no, enable or disable the GUI, if not specified: yes
GUI		= "yes"


[Settings]
; disc/bartpe/multibootDisc
instPlatform	= "disc"
; trailing backslash is allowed, but not necessary
location	= ""

the log it created tells me it done a few things

I know, if you first hit disc, then browse, it walks all pages.
but still, imho, this is a GUI error.
I called it user error first.

-------------------
what happens when I launch BPsbase again and hit slipstream button with above files
the platform is not supported
that's because it don't find it, of course.
the user will have to walk through settings again.
that's a good thing.

btw, I am still trying to reproduce the clicks that got me that non-updated txtsetup and dosnet.inf

The answer was 42?
Kind regards, Jaak.

I've now set 'disc' to be selected by default. That was an error indeed.

I think I know what settings got you that non-updated txtsetup.sif and dosnet.inf... You deselected DriverPack MassStorage text mode. That's the only way it could have been caused. Or you must have cancelled the slipstream JUST at the moment where it would start updating those files. I think you'll never be able to reproduce it wink
