Topic: problem with 7.05.1 and Method 1 compressing cabs

Hi all,

I am using 7.05.1 with xp media(slipstreamed SP2) from M/S

I go through the options and leave it all at defaults except for choosing custom method for starting the finisher and enabling KTD for all packs

it extracts all the drivers

then it compresses the chipset pack

then i get this message when trying to compress cpu drivers

Failed to CAB compress C:\DP\tmp\DriverPacks\DPCP\DriverPack_CPU_wnt_x86-32.ini to C:\XP\$OEM$\$1\D\\DriverPack_CPU_wnt_x86-32.in_

if I cancel the run and take out the cpu driver pack I get the following error after it compresses graphics A


Failed to CAB compress c:\DP\tmp\DriverPacks\DriverPack Graphics A\DriverPack_Graphics_A_nt5_x86_x86-32.ini to c:\xp\$OEM$\$1\DriverPack_Graphics_A_wnt5_x86-32.in_.

Any suggestions on what could be causing this..

I have tried a fresh CD image
RE-Downloading all the driver packs + base
reformatting my pc....

Thanks

Brett

Re: problem with 7.05.1 and Method 1 compressing cabs

Hi

I tried method 1 today, and also had a problem.
(not same as yours... but still, a critical one)

Method 2 is the faster method of the two, so M1 is tested less often.
For now, I suggest you build a disc using method 2, while we try fix these errors.

The answer was 42?
Kind regards, Jaak.

Same problem here, with the Sound Pack B and using Method 1.  Since that's the method that does what I want, I suppose I'll have to wait for a fix...

Re: problem with 7.05.1 and Method 1 compressing cabs

Can you describe the error, please?

(it looks like M1 has some hardcoded folder locations in the module, and you can compare the location of the file that cannot be cabbed or copied with the folder content of the un7zipped pack.. This copy error is what I encountered.)

The answer was 42?
Kind regards, Jaak.

Re: problem with 7.05.1 and Method 1 compressing cabs

I first get an error box titled "Critical Error" that says:

Failed to CAB compress c:\download\XP_Driverpacks\tmp\DriverPack_Sound_B_wnt5_x86-32.ini to C:\download\SP2+\$OEM$\$1\D\\DriverPack_Sound_B_wnt5_x86-32.in_.

I can click OK, then get a second box saying that the temp directory can't be deleted...and it hangs.  I can click OK repeatedly but the box keeps reappearing.  The only thing that will end the program is to 3-finger salute, Task Manager, then select the process and end it.

I looked at the log file, but it gives no further detail other than the above message.

I get a very similar message with the mass storage pack...

Re: problem with 7.05.1 and Method 1 compressing cabs

Exact same problem here as well with the mentioned packs.... 

i found you could click the cancel button on the box below the error and when you pressed ok it would end... but before I found that i did have to use the 3 fingered method....

Re: problem with 7.05.1 and Method 1 compressing cabs

I noticed something that seems odd to me...

If you look at the error message, there are two backslashes after the 'D' and before the 'DriverPack' toward the end of the error message.

Also, if I look at the file structure of the $OEM$ directory that's located in my target directory, I have:

$OEM$\$1\D\D\S\

then directories with names like Y, TR, T, SM, and so forth.  Should there be two D directories after the $1 directory?  Just curious...

This is gonna be solved soon.
Jeff got to the code, and fixed some.

MORE fixing is expected.

Re: problem with 7.05.1 and Method 1 compressing cabs

Jeff, what did you change to fix this? I don't see why this error only occurs for 7.05.1, I understand you did not even touch the CAB compressing code or the code for method 1?

Re: problem with 7.05.1 and Method 1 compressing cabs

i changed a line in mod_slip_wnt5_x86-32_any_funcs.au3 near line number 160
(it seems i was mistaken about not changing the m1 code since now it looks like i did)


elseIf $set_qsc=="no" then
    local $destDir = $slip_dps_destDir
endIf

i made it

$fi_destDir = $slip_dps_destDir & "\" & $_BPEout


this added an extra \ to the path for slipstreaming when useing m1 (i guess we didn't test M1 before release)

Im almost done with a test run of 7.05.2

Anyone test the new version to verify my fix - it worked for me?

Re: problem with 7.05.1 and Method 1 compressing cabs

Hi all,

I've got the same problem with Base 7.05.2, LAN 7.05.1 and MassStorage 7.05. I want to slipstream driver packs into Windows XP SP2 MUI. I'm using Method 2.

I noticed, that slipstream with 7.04 and some older driver packs works fine. When I run 7.05.2 after running 7.04 even this works fine.

Maybe this could help to fix this issue.

Thanks, Elix
