Topic: [NEEDS REPLY] Virtual Install (w/ VMWare) and Driverpacks Error

Hiya!
I created a custom installation disc using nLite and DVBase and tried to test it on a virual install using VMWare. When it came to the drivers installation part an "AutoIT" error occured and after clicking OK to the dialog the setup continued and everything seemed ok.

Is this because VMW doesnt support drivers at all? Should the drivers have been installed? Do they only install on a normal (not virual) install?

I can repeat the whole procedure to report the exact message if needed.

No.
I have successfully installed a complete UWXPCD on both VMWare as well as Virtual PC numerous (countless even!) times with great success, working the same way as on a real PC (with different devices, of course).

I do, however, have a problem with VMWare getting the audio driver installed although I am using 3rd party DriverPack VMWare.
Aparat from that, the installation is working successfully in so far as I am not receiving any error messages.

Your problem must be a different one...

Installs fine in VMware ....

I have a problem with my email account and I cannot post it right now (as I have to post through the virtual machine and I don't remember the password) but I will post it as soon as possible.
Sorry if I cause a lot of trouble.. Probably I've done something really stupid.

Re: [NEEDS REPLY] Virtual Install (w/ VMWare) and Driverpacks Error

Any chance you remember the exact AutoIt error? I should have asked that immediately...

Your DPsFnshr.log looks just fine btw.

Re: [NEEDS REPLY] Virtual Install (w/ VMWare) and Driverpacks Error

Unfortunately no...
Anyway I created a new cd and tried it on VMWare and no AutoIt error came up. But no sign of DriverPacks being installed showed up during the first login. As I remember from the previous one DPsFnshr(.exe) had to run, right? And there was no DPsFnshr.log. I checked Device Manager and all devices are working but with all vendors something like "VMWare HDD" or "VMWNec DVD+/-R" etc. Is that normal?

(d*ammit. I'm sure I have done something completely stupid)

Anyway, as I have to format my PC immediately so I'll stick to normal installation. As the whole setup could last a day or two (not enough time..) I'll probably log in here in a few days, so..

thanks anyway.

Re: [NEEDS REPLY] Virtual Install (w/ VMWare) and Driverpacks Error

EDIT:

Ignore my post, it actually belongs in this thread:
http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=748

i'm getting something that sounds very similar. Installing on a vm.

I happened to grab the error:

Line 0 (File "c:\DPsFnshr.exe"):
for $i=1 to $exceptions[0][0]
for $i=1 to $exceptions^ ERROR
Error: Subscript used with non-Array variable

my log is pretty much the same, but it ends about halfway through moofaah's. my last line is:

2006-10-22 02:15:11 : <INIT> Logging of HWIDs complete.

Re: [NEEDS REPLY] Virtual Install (w/ VMWare) and Driverpacks Error

Also getting this same error.

Line 0 (File "C:\DPsFnshr.exe"):
for $i=1 to $exceptions[0][0]
for $i=1 to $exceptions^ ERROR
Error: Subscript used with non-Array variable.

It applies to XP and Server 2003, multi boot or non multi boot.

It does not happen if you slipstream ALL driverpacks, but seems to
always happen with any combination of the others! It is driving me crazy sad

Does this shed any light on the matter:

http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/index … opic=35036

What other versions of the driverpacks BASE can I use?

I know its a v6.10 error because people have said they didnt get it with v6.08.
