I have tested it, and you might be able to do these instructions in wine, but they give different checksums. Instructions (most of these can be done in puppy, and Geany even has syntax highlighting): 1) download the attachment 2) unzip it to C:\ (or "/root/.wine/c_drive" if your in puppy) 3) go into the folder it created 4) open up HOW TO MAKE AN INSTALLER.txt. It will tell you how to make an installer. You will have to install NSIS to compile it: http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Download.

 Oops...thought this was my thread...it's not.
Ok, I changed the initial post on my thread here to show your new development, norbyb009. Good job!

Thanks from me as well. I have yet to investigate what you have done but if you have got it working it sounds very promising. The problem with Vista/Windows 7 is that boot.ini does not exist and a whole new method of hooking into the Windows boot is required - (most people use EasyBCD for this). As I say I have not looked at your technique yet but I suspect some tweeks will be needed for the latest Windows. |

Yes, it will. Right now, I have it set as: if grub.exe/grub exists, add that puppy version to the menu.lst, set timeout=10 if grub.exe/grub does not exist, install grub4dos, add to boot.ini, make menu.lst (timeout=0) with the puppy entry. Would I have to change "does not exist" to: install grub4dos, if(not vista/win7)add to boot.ini(else)BCDEdit.exe(end if) make menu.lst (timeout=0) with the puppy entry Is that correct? Do you have a vista/win7 system? I just want to ask a few questions. |

noryb009 Your logic is right even if it is not exactly functionally correct. I see you are deviating from Lin'N'Win quite a bit - not sure if that is because of NSIS. Lin'N'Win DOES NOT INSTALL grub4DOS! It uses the files from it but does not install it in case it messes the MBR/Windows boot process. I know some think I am too worried but better safe than sorry. Consequently it uses grub.exe on Win 9x and grldr on WinXP. Right now EasyBCD for Linux dual boot on a Vista / 7 system uses a version of grldr as well. I do have a Windows 7 system but it is sitting in a box while I get the courage (and a holiday from work) to set it up - it has been there a few months! |

Thank you for pointing that out. I will have to change the installer process for 9x, I guess. (amazingly, I still have a windows 95 I can work on!) Ya, it would of been better to phrase it as "unzipped grub4dos" |

noryb009 does this once unzipped on a Windows system (don't have one so have to ask) automatically install (by downloading) Lucid 5.1 Then when you boot you can boot to Windows or Lucid? Is that right?

Not exactly... The file I uploaded is a creator for a windows installer to duel-boot. Also, the files are in the installer, you don't have to download them. If someone tells me where to upload it, and once I edit it for the windows 9x, vista and 7 boot loaders, then I can compile it and upload it. |

I updated the post above to V 0.2. This release: -backs up boot.ini (if you are on windows nt/xp/server 2003) -adds kindof tested support for 9x/ME -adds untested support for vista/7 -is only in english (I might add other languages after testing, but I don't know what boot.ini would be like in chinese  )
I have a test installer (about 6 MB, it installs pUPnGO). I will upload it in a bit. |

I uploaded it, any testers will be welcome! You can download it here. It will say "Debug: (your windows version)". If this is NOT your version, please post what it said, and end the process (Ctrl+Alt+Del) Do not use this installer with vista/windows 7. md5sum: 6e446ac419552b993e87734f1efd5d89 pUPnGO 412 beta.exe |
