Topic: Error when slipstreaming to RIS install

I've been trying to slipstream the driverpacks to an RIS image and whenever it gets to compressing the files at the end it fails. From what I can tell it seems to be adding a space between the filename and the file extension. I've attached a screenshot.

edit: I can't figure out how to attach files to this. But, the dpbase.log doesn't show any error messages in it.

You can't, unfortunately sad

That's all there is to figure out about...

(you can directly post images using the IMG tags, though wink)

Re: Error when slipstreaming to RIS install

I don't think this'll solve your problem, but some things you may want to consider:

1.) Enable QSC (it avoids a bug where some .CAT files are not properly copied into the svcpack directory despite having their entries added into the svcpack.inf).

2.) Make sure you've got .NET in your installation (because of the ATI thing; RVM has a nice switchless .NET 1.1 SP1 installer that can be added to your svcpack.inf)

1. I'm not familiar with what QSC is. A quick google search proved to be no help either.

2. Actually, I have mine set to use the version from ATI that doesn't need ATI. I prefer not to install anything via svcpack.inf. It makes it easier to update if I don't.

Re: Error when slipstreaming to RIS install

According to your DPs_BASE.ini, you disabled QSC - Quick Stream Cache (this is something specific to DriverPacks - I wouldn't have expected google to turn anything up) AND you are installing ATI Catalyst Control Center which requires .NET to work properly.   (If you were installing the ATI Catalyst Control Panel then it wouldn't be "CCC" but rather "CCP")

EDIT:
You don't have to manually add the switchless install from RVM to the svcpack - you could just integrate it using RVM's tool or nLite.  You said it makes it easier to update by not adding it into the svcpack yourself - so you must be using one of those tools to update it.

Sorry about that, I got this setup confused with another that I have. I tried changing the settings and I still got the same error. A while ago on another setup I tried it with CCC and without .net installed. The drivers still work fine, but you get an error message when the CCC tries to start.

The reason I don't intergrate the installers into my cd is because I have mine setup so that when the main windows install finishes it runs a script that pulls another script off of a network share so that I can easily update it without having to create a new cd each time.

Re: Error when slipstreaming to RIS install

I thought you were doing a NIS.  If that's the case then your SVCPACK.inf wouldn't need a new CD every time because the CD just tells the installer to look on the network for the installation stuff.  I think I read that someone was going to integrate the CPU and Chipset drivers to their boot NIS CD, and then integrate all of the other packs to the NIS Location.

While I agree with you that it is easy to update it that way. The reason I'm not is because every time I change something I would have to test the install to make sure that everything is working like it should.

Re: Error when slipstreaming to RIS install

That's why God invented bigger hard drives! big_smile  Just copy your RIS folder to a backup location and make the alteration.  Then if it doesn't work Delete and restore! smile

All seriousness, I was just trying to let you know what I saw.  After dealing with my own issues with DriverPacks, I just wanted to give you those suggestions.  I don't know how to solve your RIS problem sad

It's not that my hard drive isn't big enough, it's just that testing things like that over and over again is something I want to avoid.

I'm beginning to think that this is more of a software bug that is related to my using it on an RIS install. I'd appreciate it if I could take to a developer and maybe try some things out to get this fixed.

Re: Error when slipstreaming to RIS install

Hello. I have the same problem. I can help if someone give some way to progress.
