Topic: [NEEDSREPLY] DriverPacks in combination with PowerPacker

Hello,

I'm trying to create a unattended Windows XP including the driverpack with powerpacker, but I can't get it to work. Powerpacker doesn't launch the Base. I did export the settings of base and selected them Powerpacker. Here is what it looks like:

[General]
; preferred language
prefLang    = "English"
; yes/no, enable or disable the wizard-style buttons, if not specified: yes
wizardButtons    = "yes"
; yes/no, enable or disable the GUI, if not specified: yes
GUI        = "yes"


[Settings]
; disc/bartpe/multibootDisc
instPlatform    = "disc"
; trailing backslash is allowed, but not necessary
location    = "C:\unattended\CD's\13-2-2007 plus drivers\ROOT\XPPC"
; none/all/select, if select, specify them below, if not specified: all
DriverPacks    = "select"
; 1/2, method to install the DriverPacks, if not specified: 2
DPsMethod    = "1"
; GUIRunOnce/RunOnceEx/custom, if not specified: GUIRunOnce
finisherMethod    = "RunOnceEx"


; you should only add this section if you've set [Settings]\finishMethod to "RunOnceEx"
[RunOnceExSettings]
; custom/default, if not specified: default
startID        = "default"


; this section is optional!
[OptionalSettings]
; none/all/select/paths/patterns, enable or disable Keep The Drivers (KTD) , if not specified: none
KTD        = "false"
; <path>, to specify a custom KTD cache location, if not specified: default (%SystemRoot%\DriverPacks)
KTDlocation    = "%SystemRoot%\DriverPacks"
; yes/no, enable or disable QuickStream Cache (QSC), if not specified: yes
QSC        = "yes"


; you should only add this section if you've set [Settings]\DriverPacks to "select"
[SelectDriverPacks]
DP_Chipset    = "yes"
DP_CPU        = "yes"
DP_Graphics_A    = "yes"
DP_Graphics_B    = "yes"
DP_Graphics_C    = "yes"
DP_LAN        = "yes"
DP_MassStorage    = "yes"
DP_Sound_A    = "yes"
DP_Sound_B    = "yes"
DP_WLAN        = "yes"
DP_MassStorage_textmode = "yes"


; this section is optional!
[OptionalSettingsOther]
; CCC/CCP, use ATI Catalyst Control Center or ATI Catalyst Control Panel (only relevant when slipstreaming DriverPack Graphics A)
ATI_cpl        = "CCC"


And my Powerpacker config file:

[InputOutput]
XPSource=C:\unattended\CD's\13-2-2007
XPDestination=C:\unattended\CD's\13-2-2007 plus drivers

[Exclusions]
WIN9XUPG=Y
LANG=Y

[Extra Files]
ExtraPackDest=
ExtraRootDest=


[Unattended]
Unattend=X
Winnt.sif=C:\unattended\Unattended script
$OEM$=

[DriverPacks]
DriverPack=P
DPSettings=C:\unattended\Drivers\Versie7\mysettings.ini
DPSource=C:\unattended\Drivers\Versie7\DPs_Base.exe

[WinXPVersion]
XPVersion=P

[WinXPEdition]
XPEdition=C

[Win2k3Version]
2k3Version=

[Boot Entry]


Is there anyone trying to achieve the same thing and got it to work?

Erik, please add code tags to your post!

DPSettings=C:\unattended\Drivers\Versie7\mysettings.ini
DPSource=C:\unattended\Drivers\Versie7\DPs_Base.exe

Are you very sure those paths are correct? Please verify them.

hi

just a thing I notice?
You are going to use method 1, on all packs, and that will exceed the path length limit.
Like this, a large number of drivers are not going to work.

The answer was 42?
Kind regards, Jaak.
