Re: Could not find settings file - DPsFnshr.log

thanks for includeing some of the files needed to help.

it looks as though you have manually edited presetup.cmd - and broken it
your title is your answer... figure out why settings file is missing.

This system works - if you dont break it.

since you did not tell us what you did we can't help.

Re: Could not find settings file - DPsFnshr.log

I am having the same problem with the "Could not find settings file" error.
Here is my DPsFnshr.log file:

2008-02-11 06:53:07 : <INIT> DriverPacks Finisher 7.05.2 initialized.

DPsFnshr.ini file:
[Settings]
; DO NOT SET THIS MANUALLY, LET THE DriverPacks BASE DO IT FOR YOU! (may NOT contain any spaced, if it does, all exceptions must be adapted to be compatible!)
DPsRoot    = "%SystemDrive%"
; DO NOT SET THIS MANUALLY, LET THE DriverPacks BASE DO IT FOR YOU!
KTD = "false"
; system variables supported (see remarks for a list) one location cannot be used as
; KTDlocation: the root directory specified in[Settings]\DPsRoot
KTDlocation    = "%SystemRoot%\DriverPacks"
; system variables supported (see remarks for a list)
logLocation = "%SystemRoot%"
; enables/disables debug mode (enabled by default)
debug = "true"

I followed the tutorial step by step and selected the RunOnceEXE method,
So how the heck do I correct his problem?

Re: Could not find settings file - DPsFnshr.log

does the finisher ini exist in the folder "F:\Windows XP Pro SP2_EWC\OEM\bin\DPsFnshr.ini"
does it exist on the install disk? %cddrive%\OEM\bin\DPsFnshr.ini

can you open the version on the cd/dvd (is it corrupted)

if you run base and select "custom" for the finisher (and don't add it manually) it will not do cleanup. this way you can confirm that all the finisher files are in the root of the OS install partition. (and run the finisher manually after your investigation, if you like)
