Sp2.cab not found

Paul_365 · Post by **Paul_365** » Fri Aug 26, 2005 9:07 am

Following Gosh's Guide http://gosh.msfnhosting.com/part1.htm for an experiment, I ran this command

c:\xpcd\i386\winnt32.exe /noreboot

During the copy prosses it reported that it could not find sp2.cab.

The i386 was built from XP Pro VLK With SP2 slipstreamed into it and then the 1.3.1 Pack installed with the Intergrator 1.07. No other changes have been made to the i386 folder.

I still find it mentioned in dosnet.inf at line 7562

Code: Select all

d1,sp2.cab

under the [Files] heading

and in layout.inf at line 7296

Code: Select all

sp2.cab      = 100,,18738937,,,,_x,39,0,0

Under the [SourceDisksFiles] heading.

A few things:
1) winnt32.exe installs aren't supported
2) sp2.cab entries shouldn't exist in dosnet.inf or txtsetup.sif. If they do, something didn't go right during integration.
3) layout.inf can't be modified without breaking the file signature and killing windows setup. The sp2.cab entry in there is harmless and won't be removed.

Thanks for replying so quick.

1 & 3 Understood.

However 2 is an issue then as its clearly in there, and there were no erros from the intergrator, the RVMUpdatePack1.3.1.cab file passes winrars 3.50's Archive test so its not corrupt.

The Source history is the original Corp VLK Release with sp slipstreamed in, no other files modified.

I will redo the intergration and post a follow up, starting now

Nope - Seccond try Same result sp2.cab still found in DOSNET.INF after intergration.

going to relocate pack cab and integrator to same drive as source and try again.

i can confirm sp2.cab remains in dosnet.inf after integration.

Post by **RyanVM** » Fri Aug 26, 2005 11:20 am

I think we need to have a little discussion with Mr. Siginet

Glad to see i am not a complete loon

Just for completeness i tried it with a genuine xp pro sp1 disk and used autostreamer to slip in the sp2 files - same result.

the bug occurs with the integrator as well so we can rule out nlite as the problem.

Siginet's internet connection has been down for a couple days now (he left me a voicemail the other night letting me know). We can only hope he gets back online soon.

dgelwin · Post by **dgelwin** » Fri Aug 26, 2005 1:47 pm

I thought something was up when i didnt see Proph online these last couple of days. well here is wishing his internet connection a speedy recovery.

Siginet · Post by **Siginet** » Fri Aug 26, 2005 7:05 pm

Well... I am almost back online.

Not on my computer where I do my coding... but at least now I do have some sort of internet. Geuss I shouldn't have made fun of Nuhi being on dial-up the other day.

LOL. I was cracking a joke to him about it and then my router broke! AHHH! I will look into the issue... I know I put it in my code to take care of that... I'll double check it.

If you pm me the unpack password i can take a look aswell if it would help.

Siginet · Post by **Siginet** » Fri Aug 26, 2005 8:44 pm

I have fixed the issue. I'll have it online tonight.

I uploaded RC8 to ryans server. So he will probably release it tomorrow.

amirali_esh · Post by **amirali_esh** » Sat Aug 27, 2005 12:24 pm

Can we simply remove sp2.cab entry from dosnet.inf after integration and skip RC8?

dgelwin · Post by **dgelwin** » Sat Aug 27, 2005 12:30 pm

I believe RC8 has some other things added, not sure, can you fill us in siginet.

Siginet · Post by **Siginet** » Sat Aug 27, 2005 1:14 pm

Yes it does. I fixed a few other errors. It was incorrectly parseing the [UnsupportedArchitectures] section of the dosnet.inf file.

It was parseing it to look like this...

Code: Select all

[UnsupportedArchitectures]
halcbus.dll   = 
halcbusm.dll  = 
halmca.dll    =  
halmpsm.dll   = 
halncr.dll    = 
missprocfeat  =

But it should have looked like this...

Code: Select all

[UnsupportedArchitectures]
halcbus.dll   = %cbus2_mp%
halcbusm.dll  = %cbusmc_mp%
halmca.dll    = %mca_up%
halmpsm.dll   = %mps_mca_mp%
halncr.dll    = %ncr_mp%
missprocfeat  = %missing_proc_feat%

Also it was not adding ...

Code: Select all

[OptionalSrcDirs]
SVCPACK

To the end of the dosnet.inf file like it should have.

And I made sure it deleted the d1,sp2.cab entry that you posted above.

As far as I know the integrator did not need to edit layout.inf... I will ask Ryan about this.

Siginet, as you can see from ryans post layout.inf does should not be edited.

Thx I didn't see that.

Post by **RyanVM** » Sat Aug 27, 2005 11:50 pm

Editing layout.inf will cause very bad things to happen

(At least without a modified syssetup.dll)

Rudi1 · Post by **Rudi1** » Sun Aug 28, 2005 10:01 am

I have the same problem with: Sp2.cab not found

Is any news about new Siginet integrator with fix?

yes,RC8 is finished we just have to wait for the ryan to post it on his site.

Sorry, I've been busy all day doing domestic stuff (the wife had me assembling furniture

). I'll try to take a look at RC8 tonight. Otherwise I'll for sure do it tomorrow.

Post by **RyanVM** » Sun Aug 28, 2005 11:40 pm

RC8 is up for download now. Sorry about the delay.
