If you can think of any support scripts that zpnp might need, let me know; nikzzzz mentioned 'wim support', what is meant by that? As mentioned, all test builds are wimboot but do not have wimpack script enabled (don't like it), is this required? If so, should be mentioned in tutorial.

as far as i can remember , i have also tested it successfully with bootsdi . but anyways i will confirm it tomorrow morning .
in case there was any mistake or something in tutorial , Nikzzzz should have pointed it out . but anyways , i will provide the log next time to verify .

@nikzzzz @maanu

I have also the problem. zPNP works, but only with upacked LAN drivers.
My own packed drivers packed as described in maanu´s tutorial don´t work.

maanu`s tutorial here
And also nikzzzz ready packed driver Lan.wim don´t work.

I boot from USB Stick an have a folder "Drivers" in the root directory
with the packed files Drivers.wim or/and Lan.wim inside.

zPNP.exe and zPNP.ini are in the folder x:\i386\system32.

I suspect there is something missing in the tutorial ?
Is it necesary to add Nikzzzz´s WimSupport script ???

Thanks for your help

Yes, if you don't use WimBoot, you have to use the WimSupport script.
Without it zPNP can't mount the wim file and will not find the drivers within.

Hi JFX,
Thanks for the quick response !
It would be easier to speak German, but this is not desired here.
Ok...

I follow woderful totorial as descipted here

I have downloaded amalux portable poject "lx77rc2cbw.exe" from here
this project use wimBoot.

My question now:
Do I have ? or can ? mount the wim file drivers.wim manualy ???
And how can i check if is mounted or not ?
I can open it with 7zip an the drivers are inside.

Thank you for your help

Actually zPNP should mount it. You can try it manually with imagex or gimagex.

@JFX
Thanks for your help and the tip.
I´ve tried now to mount Drivers.wim manually - successful.
Using GimageX v2 Mount Point G:\ (local Harddisk)
Source is D:\drivers\Drivers.wim
A bootable USB Stick where LiveXP_WIM.ISO
( From amalux tutorial "lx77rc2cbw.exe" here
GimageX v2 and WimBoot is included in amalux lx77rc2cbw.exe

But the problem is still:
zPNP do not acces or mount Drivers.wim automatically.

Thanks for the help

Hmm default zpnp.ini contains this.

[CDROM]

Path=Drivers

[REMOVABLE]

Path=Drivers

[FIXED]

Drive=

Path=PeDrivers

I dont't know about amalux project, but liveXP often use the annoying dummy.sys to convert removable devices to fixed ones.
Could be that zpnp search in PeDrivers folder for the .wim file

[new_user]

@JFX
OK when i boot from USB-Stick zPNP.exe and zPNP.ini
are in X:\i386\system32 zPNP.ini is here:

[Config]

Pass=2

Wim=*.wim

Log=%Temp%\zPnp_Log.txt

[DevicesMask]

Include=.

Exclude=acpi\\

[CDROM]

Path=Drivers

[REMOVABLE]

Path=Drivers

[FIXED]

Drive=

Path=PeDrivers

[Execute]

2=MountStorPe.exe -ng

3=systray.exe

I don`t know how zPNP should work to mount and access
the packed LANdrivers located in \drivers\Drivers.wim ???

As i said bevor i suspect
There is something missing in the tutorial ?

[was_JFX]

Hi new_user,

sometimes trail and error is the fastest way. You can edit zPnP.ini also after booting.
I still guess the drive which contains your \drivers\drivers.wim is seen as a FIXED one.

So try change your X:\i386\system32\zPnP.ini to this.

[Config]
Pass=2
Wim=*.wim
Log=%Temp%\zPnp_Log.txt
[DevicesMask]
Include=.
Exclude=acpi\\
[CDROM]
Path=Drivers
[REMOVABLE]
Path=Drivers
[FIXED]
Drive=*
Path=Drivers
[Execute]
2=MountStorPe.exe -ng
3=systray.exe


And try then if it finds the drivers.

[new_user]

Hi JFX,
I´ve tried this too.
Boot from USB Stick an edit X:\i386\system32\zPnP.ini
section:

[/code]

[FIXED]

Drive=

Path=PeDrivers



to 

[FIXED]

Drive=*

Path=Drivers

[code]

No difference !

zPNP can not mount/access the wimpacked LANdrivers
in \drivers\Drivers.wim from my Boot USB- Stick !

Therfore i suspect very strongly now
There is one step missing in maanu´s tutorioal here
You need a programm like gimagex to mount the wimpacked file Drivers.wim.

And only then zPNP can acces the unpacked LAN Drivers
or you have to use unpacked drivers ??

[was_JFX]

Okay one last idea.

zPnP mount the drivers.wim inside the Temp folder. Usually our PE's have temp folder on an imdisk device.

But on your screen shot I see no imdisk drive but see an Temp folder on Systemdrive.

With WimBoot and zPnP you can't have Temp folder on X:, cause you can't mount a wim file inside a mounted wim image.

Update zPnp

History15=2010_01_07 Nikzzzz: added select path for mount WIM
History16=2010_01_07 Nikzzzz: added network path

zPnp v16 07-01-2010

Thanks JFX !

this was the solution "no imdisk drive but see an Temp folder on Systemdrive"
No imdisk drive ! I don`t know why ?
So i build an new WimBootImage "lx77rc2cbw" from amalux tutorial here

and now it works !
and update to zPnp v16 07-01-2010



see attached drives and zPnp_Log.txt.

Sorry new_user, my bad

I accidentally uploaded the wrong 'test' build but quickly caught the mistake and replaced it on the server. You must have been one of the few that caught the no imdisk version. I tried to respond to your last post about it but server has been down till now; anyway, glad it's working and sorry for troubles

have you tried with it graphics and sound ?

[MedEvil]

Could someone explain to me the use of the script interface, i can't make heads and toes out of it.

zPnp correctly works with graphics and sound at presence xpe-pnp-aio.script (autostart hwpnp off)

[paraglider]

The script interface corresponds directly to the contents of the zpnp.ini file.

Hi, MedEvil
The manual zPnp.exe here.
I think, it will be simple to understand with script interface, I badly speak in English, I am afraid of you to confuse.
Ask questions if it is not clear.

Reards,

[paraglider]

The manual desperately needs some blank lines.

It is text a file, download it and open in notepad.
