Install using DrvInst.exe

[jagsrikal]

I downloaded the ISCSI initator from this link
http://www.starwindsoftware.com/custome ... rSetup.exe

When i Try to do Drvinst.exe -install root/stariscsi
D:\openoffice\iSCSI Initiator>DrvInst.exe -install [root\stariscsi] "D:\openoffi
ce\iSCSI Initiator\iscsi.reg"
DrvInstDriverInstallOrUpdate failed (3758096640) !

What could be the issue that it does not work on cmd line but works while using exe directly

Thanks
Vidya

Just doublechecking - can you confirm that you are installing it on Windows OS?

I am trying this on a windows xp machine

What exactly are you trying to do? What's the reason of setup-less installation?

I would like to have the the iscsi initator on Bart PE/winpe. So i tried to copy the folder to bartpe. I exported the reg entries from regedit.
I used pluginbuilder to install the iscsi.sys file in system32/drivers
However iscsi does not run and says driver not installed.

When i tried to port mono to run .net app in winpe/bartpe, I just need to copy the required mono folders from program files and reg entries and just run the exe from correct location. I was trying a similar method for starwind iscsi initator. However it does not seem to be direct.

Any pointers would be helpful.

Hi,

The command line is wrong.

Code: Select all

DrvInst.exe usage:
 Driver Install (only new installation):
        -install <DevId> <InfFileFullName>
        -installpnp <DevId> <InfFileFullName>
        -preinstall <InfFileFullName> <Driver files path>

 Driver Update:
        -update <DevId> <InfFileFullName>
        -updatepnp <DevId> <InfFileFullName>

 Driver Uninstall:
        -uninstall <DevId> <message>

 Check if Driver Installed:
        -check <DevId>

So you need something like the following to manually install the driver:
DrvInst.exe -install root\stariscsi <path_to_Starporti.inf_file>

So you need something like the following to manually install the driver:
DrvInst.exe -install root\stariscsi <path_to_Starporti.inf_file>

It's working on cmd, I've tried this code and I think it's the best solution for your issue.

Why do you need manual script-driven install?

Sorry for delayed reply. I am trying to get winpe with iscsi. As mentioned before most s/w like mono ,msiscsi , i would just need to copy folder and make correct reg entries.
So is there any specifc procedure to port this to Winpe.

Never looked @ this (PE install). Manual mode with DrvInst.exe should work however.
