Topic: [SLVD] driverpacks finnisher problems
Hello, I am making a multiboot disck of xp with the driverpacks.
driver-packs finisher launches during the t-13 time of xp install and works great. however an error pops up saying it cannot locate the settings file, when the settings file is located on the disc inside the oem folder with the reset of the driver packs stuff.
it is launched using the custom command instead of the guirunonce or the runonceex
here is the log file from windows after the install.

... and if they do change your not going to want drivers that are outdated nor have the mess in the registry. I am going to assume that your not going to update the MB and Graphics card the first week ... and if you do it's probably a good idea just to do a clean reload ... especialy since you have an unattended install
