0000511: KTD: selected folder where it should be stored is not used--has NOT been resolved
Same as previously described in http://bugtracker.driverpacks.net/view.php?id=343 [^]
(0000343). I've repeated this on over dozen custom xp pro sp3 installations. My method is always 1) nlite mods first (pause before making iso); then 2) driverpacks mods; then 3) finish with nlite iso. Only real difference from 0000343 stated attempt: I try to specify that the driverpacks be cached in the Windows directory itself--to "C:\Windows\Packs".
Although I use the 3rd Party DriverPacks, I do not use the ones with known bugs--these are left out for now. DPsFnshr.ini attached is from the last iso I created to test in VMWare.
No tags attached.

I'm currently building another installation to test; I will upload whatever files are required. I did read the history log, which stated that the issue was addressed, but it did not state exactly what the problem arose from or how it was thus addressed (as far as I could discern). Was it perhaps dropped as a non-issue because there was simply no more comments from the original bug issuer (nor additional comments verifying the problem from other users)?

no the issue was related to a nesting of the d folder ie \D\D\ This issue was fixed in 8.05 as stated... the reason no more reports is because it was fixed ;)

We don't just drop reported issues. Unless they are not repeatable / reproducable. IE if we can't reproduce the issue based on your description. and would be marked as such - "Unable to reproduce the problem"

Please try useing the correct syntax in your finisher.ini "%SystemRoot%\Packs"
(systemroot is c:\windows, most of the time, unless the machine is dual boot, ect... ;)) %SystemRoot% is a more reliable way of refering to a windows folder.
PS SystemRoot is the default ;) so no there is no difference ;) :P

Furthermore KTD is considered a dead function... it has been replaced by SAD.

You did not include the Finisher Log file please do so...

I am going to go out on a limb here and guess the finisher is not being run at all...
That would explain:
1) the fact that the c:\D\ folder still exists...
   If the finisher ran it would have been deleted... ;)
2) KTD was not performed

Is the finisher in the root of the drive still?

BugTracker is for reporting bugs...

In order to be considered a BUG an issue must first be reported in the forum...

So we can determine if it is a bug...
Once it is determined that it is a bug then we report it here.
Not before...

KTDlocation = "C:\Windows\Packs"

Is not a valid entry...

KTDlocation = "%SystemRoot%\Packs"

IS

PS The default location is in the "windows folder" :D
