euhenio,
I d/l WB 071b. I d/l all Recommended. Now, how do I form project? I see MobileOS under Downloads but not on Scripts.

So how do I make a MobileOS project? I see how to Create a script in Tools and I then overwrote that with the script you provided. But how do I RUN the script? Do I need to create a PROJECT? How do you create a new project. I could not find anywhere how to do this?

Ok, did that. Now I try to run project MobileOS after setting Paths. It keeps saying error, CD is bad! It's not bad, I have used it many times. It is DELL WinXP CD. It has all files. I have separate download for SP2 EXE and for Win2003 Server Enterprise CD.

How can I get past this error?

use v006

[greno]

use v006

How do I select V006? I redownloaded MobileOS. Shouldn't that bring down V006?

[greno]

I redownloaded it again and this time it brought down V006. So I will try this.

go to "proect"

Files which at you are not present - this critical files
Your CD really spoiled
attempt other CD/DVD

Do not agree.

My "Projects" tree looks like:

├───v005

│   ├───BinImg

│   ├───RamImg

│   └───Tools

└───v006

	├───BinImg

	├───RamImg

	└───Tools

So BinImg and RamImg directories are there. They are not named Bin.img and ram.img.

The script is looking for the wrong names.

BinImg <> Bin.img

RamImg <> ram.img

And again in script it is looking for X: rather than D: so it thinks that the Source disk is missing.

X&#58; <> D&#58;

All is true
In Project.script (title Project) you choose "Source Disk" , "Target directory " and "Target directory for Ram.img"

euhenio,
I am sorry to tell you this but I am still seeing nearly the exact same errors:

Target directory (Bin.img ) not exist.

Target directory for ram.img not exist.

Source disk not exist.

 log_V006_2.html   9.66K   119 downloads

And once we are beyond these errors, if you are expecting a user to make a choice of some type then there must either be an input box to fill-in like those on the Paths tab, or radio buttons, or you must popup a selection window for the user.

I see no "Target directory for ram.img" input box anywhere.


How I am testing:

Run WinBuilder GUI
Select Download Tab
Check mobileos.boot-land.net checkbox
Click Download button
Wait for any download
Select Paths Tab
Select Work directories Tab
Select MobileOS (euhenio)
Fill-in Source dir: D:
Fill-in Target dir: C:\Documents and Settings\greno\Builds\MobileOS\Target
Fill-in ISO file: C:\Documents and Settings\greno\Builds\MobileOS\ISO\Boot.iso
Select Scripts Tab
Check MobileOS (euhenio) checkbox
Check V006 checkbox
Press Play icon

Ok, I found the obscure input boxes by click on MobileOS | V006 | Projects.
And how do these choices relate to those on the Paths Tab? Looks like duplication.

This is not intuitive at all!

The user should either have just one place to enter these choices on one of the main tabs or be prompted for the choices as the script runs.


So I clicked the "Check project and set new paths now" button and I get this error again:

Error Source CD "D:", this CD is bad!

Arrrrrg. It's not bad I just checked the log and the very first file that it is failing on is right there on the CD!

euthenio,
Could there be a problem about language or character encoding that is causing the script to think that the CD is bad? I ask this because I have seen a couple times Error box about "Other language".

[euhenio]

probably your CD - Service Pack 1
integrate Service Pack 2 and try again

[greno]

Didn't work. Got error message about CD already has integrated updates.

Anyway around this? This is going to be the case for about 99.9% of everyone out there.


Why does MobileOS even care about the Service Pack level? Just build the RAM image from whatever the user provides. If they want higher level then let them load image into VM and apply newer Service Pack and shutdown.

[euhenio]

After integration should there will be following files

D:\WIN51IP.SP2
D:\I386\NTOSKRNL.EX_
D:\I386\SCHEDSVC.DL_
D:\I386\SHELL32.DL_
D:\I386\SYSSETUP.DL_
D:\I386\USBEHCI.SY_
D:\I386\WIN32K.SY_
D:\I386\fltmgr.sy_
D:\I386\http.sy_
D:\I386\sp2.cab
D:\I386\xpsp2res.dl_

and other sp2-files

I never made it, therefore I can not help
This option is present in nLite , maybe it will help you
