    What do you mean? Which DriverPack console? How to reproduce it? There is no DriverPacks extraction in setup.cmd.

    Nothing bad in your logs. You can upload your builded ISO and PM me link to review it. No other idea.

    @George King Could you also fix link to 5eraph's Post-SP2 Update Pack v2019-08, as I am just getting white screen instead of the download page?

    he probably means driverpacks files copying to disk, he wants it done simultaneously/with high priority to speed it up

    They are copied by POWIS Launcher, I don't see anything what can I do with copy speed.

    Introducting upgrade for RunOnceEx application installers (EXE / MSI) mechanism that will be included in upcoming XP2SD 1.6.3

    As RunOnceEx mechanism is builded to support all operating systems from XP to 11 (including servers) I have finaly added installers configurations.
    For example CCleaner v5.64.7577 is latest one the works under XP and Vista. When I build XP2ESD ISO and deploy 7/10 using Standard Windows Setup option in POWIS Launcher I would like to install applications that are related to installed systems. (I have created bootable USB and I renamed install.esd to Windows XP.esd and added my own Windows 7.esd and Windows 10.esd, You can add unlimited number of WIM / ESD / SWM files to sources folder, Windows 11.esd can be deployed this way too :) )

    Example how it works

    Automated installation for Windows XP/Vista and newer
    CCleaner564-all.exe
    CCleaner564.ini
    ; Your silent switch
    Switch=/S /L=1033
    ; 5.1 / 5.2 / 6.0 / 6.1 / 6.2 / 6.3 / 10.0 / empty
    MinOS=5.1
    ; 5.1 / 5.2 / 6.0 / 6.1 / 6.2 / 6.3 / 10.0 / empty
    MaxOS=6.0
    ; Client / Server / All
    OSType=Client

    Automated installation for Windows 7 and newer
    CCleaner604-all.exe
    CCleaner604.ini
    ; Your silent switch
    Switch=/S /L=1033
    ; 5.1 / 5.2 / 6.0 / 6.1 / 6.2 / 6.3 / 10.0 / empty
    MinOS=6.1
    ; 5.1 / 5.2 / 6.0 / 6.1 / 6.2 / 6.3 / 10.0 / empty
    MaxOS=
    ; Client / Server / All
    OSType=Client

    RunOnceEx search for INI, if not exist then continue to TXT and if it doesn't exist, it must be silent RePack or you need to perform installation manually. I have only added advanced mechanism, other features are not touched and they works same as before :)


    P.S. Installed OS version is taken from kernel32.dll

    Programs that are not part of XP ?

    My thoughts ---- > I've seen other projects ......... that never ended ............ sometimes a sign that the project was stagnating was that people started adding programs , and personal favorites , and personal settings . Youve done a lot of work and people keep asking for personal wishes ......... wich make the project longer and longer .

    Well no applications are included in, except forgotten MyPal. Helping users to properly configure their own setup folder for RunOnceEx is different story :)

    I will also upload my own setup folder in one day to inspire users, But it will be always separate package as “Silent Software Pack Example” :)

    @case-sensitive I can`t understand that you`re blaming someone (in case @George King ) who`s spending so much work and time in HIS project.
    If you you want a pure XP, why don`t you explore it yourself? I had an own idea in mind (modify into the VM), i stayed in touch with George and at this point i think i got effort.

    What I meant is that when POWIS Launcher extracts files into XP installation, all these processes with extracting programs (makecab, 7za etc) should be automatically set to high priority to speed the process (especially csrss.exe).

    @George King Perhaps this may help:
    start /high '<command>
    Basically
    set HIGHPRIORITY=start /high
    So that you can add %HIGHPRIORITY% (or start /high) on front of the exe extraction command file like makecab, 7za etc.
    The scope is in the name, to run the extraction exe file with process priority set to high to speed up the extraction process.
    By applying this command to all these extracting exe console files, you reduce waiting times.
