AutoStreamer Released! (v 1.0.29)

[akaladis Veteran]

this thing is buggy, it identifies my SP2 file as build 2180, yet it is (Pre-SP2)? i am 120% sure that it is the RTM version, it is the final build 2180, so how the heck can it be Pre-SP2???

it's not buggy at all - you see, when i was coding it i had no idea what the final build would be, so right now AutoStreamer has no idea that 2180 is the final SP2 build... A "fixed" version will be released soon to address that. Functionality-wise the difference between "Pre-SP2" and "SP2" is 0.

I've experienced this BUG aswell. So I just slipstreamed the old fashion way with commands and dealing with boot loaders. & that sorted me out. So wen Raptor comes back hopefully he can update it and squash a few bugs ;)

Right now AutoStreamer will take you half way through the process... meaning it will do everything EXCEPT burning the image file. Have in mind that using wrong options during burning procedure can render bottable cd images non-bootable... For example, make sure you use Disc-At-Once while burning.

Well, the magnifying glass does not work with the Italian Corp. Edition of XP either....

Is there a fix for this ?

Thanx

[akaladis Veteran]

ok the next release will work with all languages and will detect 5.1.2600.2180 as Windows XP SP2 (not Pre-SP2)

Cheers, my fault I used Nero Express to burn the ISO file, when I opened the .ISO file in Explorer it directed me to Roxio Disc Copier, in my ignorance I ignored this and tried to burn using Nero Express instead of Disc At Once. :(

I have now burned the file using Roxio Disc Copier and all is well resulting in a bootable Win XPSP2 CD :)

Thank you for you help, great program.

It's about some AIO Windows CDs/DVDs which are circulating over the Internet... Don't expect AutoStreamer to work with them...

This new version keeps telling me I'm using the wrong Operating System :huh:

I have the same problem in the screenshot above. 1.0.29 does not recognize XP SP1, SP1a, or SP2 RTM. I get the same error "Wrong Operating System" I've tried using my WinXp Home OEM cd and my xp pro/sp1 integrated cd. NO joy. Autostreamer 1.0.28 works fine tho. Using 1.0.28, I had no problems at all slipping SP2 RTM into my xp pro corp/sp1 cd. Don't know yet if the final product actually works, since my other comp is at a friend's house atm, tho.

I'll know in a few days.

And for all of you arguing many posts ago about WPA and Dell comps, from my experience so far with Dell comps, ALL versions of XP, when installed on a Dell comp, do not require activation, no matter what serial is used. This is because MS and Dell partnered together ages ago on the down low. It's all in the Dell bios. XP recognizes the Dell bios and activates itself automatically. Not only have I experienced this personally, but I have a friend who's father works for Dell in Austin, TX and he told me about the Dell bios. I installed my own XP Home OEM which I bought online long ago, on a Dell Inspiron laptop using the cd key I got off the bottom of the comp. It installed fine and needed no activation. Could possibly be a combination of the Dell bios and Dell cd keys, but I know for a fact the bios has something to do with it.

Great work on AutoSteamer btw.

My copy is from MSDN ... WinXP SP1a and it also works fine with AutoStreamer 1.0.00! Still a really cool program, thanks ;)

I know from experience with working and building the Windows Ultimate Boot CD that sometimes programs can be VERY picky. So I would suggest trying putting the contents of the CD on your HD, say in a folder named C:\XPSP1 (keeping to the 8.3 name standards and on the ROOT drive) and then put SP2 in a folder like C:\XPSP2 (same 8.3 standards and root drive). Then try it again and see what happens. This has solved A LOT of problems with similar programs so maybe it will help with this, I don't know. Never hurts to try. :)

Ive tried doing my XPhome Gold to SP2 and my XPpro corp gold to SP2, both come out looking good, but when I try test installing on a clean drive, I get "disk read error" after the first reboot in setup....the one where it would boot from the HDisk the first time.

What am I doing wrong.

[MissingIntellect]

AutoStreamer kicks some serious @$$! :rofl:

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try that!
