You said you created %99.9 same only 2 bytes of ID different. For me same means hexadecimally comparation of cabs different only 2 bytes. Now you say they do not match totaly different. How can it be original packing.

If you find the right packing way. Just extracting and packing should hexadecimally same files maybe just ID different. If not it is not right way of making cab.

I have not checked on my pc yet. After check i will decide how original they are.

Edit: I have checked. It can succesfully creates cabs. Could not succed to patch cabs. Patched 4 bytes i was suspicious gave cab error. Making cab changes more than i think.

 

Looks like what I had to do for floppy version :

Code:

.Set DiskLabel1=1
.Set DiskLabel2=2
.Set DiskLabel3=3

Yes this is what we have, exact same files except the ID, that is supposed to be random, but so far I always got the same, even after regenerating the same archive.

It just list filesize of first file (precopy1.cab) and echo this value to directive, you don't need too look up with cabarc.

 

No, you just drop the files directly on "1. Unpack and create directive.bat"

Keep all files in same folder.
I did'nt made it "advanced"

 

For the floppy version with 3 precopy cab's

Code:

@echo off
if (%~nx1) neq (PRECOPY1.CAB) (echo Drag and drop PRECOPY1.CAB+PRECOPY2.CAB+PRECOPY3.CAB & pause & exit /b)
if (%~nx2) neq (PRECOPY2.CAB) (echo Drag and drop PRECOPY1.CAB+PRECOPY2.CAB+PRECOPY3.CAB & pause & exit /b)
if (%~nx3) neq (PRECOPY3.CAB) (echo Drag and drop PRECOPY1.CAB+PRECOPY2.CAB+PRECOPY3.CAB & pause & exit /b)
del "Diamond Directive.ddf"
rmdir /S /Q PRECOPY1

A bit out of topic, but do you know how to replicate 2000/XP files ? I mean, decompress a random file and recompress it with LZX:21 and get 100% the exact same file ?

 

Hi @Babass_

No, i have not tried this with 2000/XP files.

 

Microsoft internal ( bypass key for win95 )
ProductType=1

CCP=0
OEMUP=0


Edit setuppp.inf

setting is found in setuppp.inf, usually located in precopy2.cab.

 

0.2 has a bug for some language versions of Windows 98. For example, Chinese version of Windows 98 has three Precopy cab files. But after conversion, makecab only processed precopy1&2, caused an error message

 

and 0.2 can't convert Windows Me Chinese version at all. only extracts precopy1.cab to a temp folder. no conversion files generated. I didn't test other language versions of Windows Me yet.

SETUPPP.INF stores the value: ProductType= , UPI= , OEMUP=
SETUPC.INF stores the value: CCP=

Retail/OEM "CCP=" (Compliance Checking Program (upgrade)) is Bossman and overrides "OEMUP="
OEM FPP (Full Packaged Product) can omit "UPI=" and "OEMUP="

Far as i know...

 

In addition to every product types, you only need to remember that CCP=1 has Setup perform an upgrade check and CCP=0 ignores this check. But I don't know what "UPI=" does.
