They have to be in the same directory as the "D" directory is in (i.e. on the same level).

Basically, these files contain everything that was contained in DPsFnshr.ini before. But now it's moved to the related DriverPacks instead.

The obvious advantage of this is that you don't have to update the BASE/Finisher to be compliant with an updated or new DriverPack! Which has a pretty cool consequence: as of DriverPacks BASE 7.04 and the 7.04 DriverPacks you will be able to use *any* DriverPack version (higher than or equal to 7.04) with *any* DriverPacks BASE (again, higher than or equal to 7.04)!

yes it does

if your folder structure is D\3\D

here is an example for lan

[DriverPack]
platform	= "wnt5_x86-32"
name		= "LAN"
rootDir		= "D\L"
; OPTIONAL
classes		= "Net"
driverCount	=
decompSize	=
compSize	=


[NV-123]
; REQUIRED
exc_count		= 1
; OPTIONAL
exc_1_tagFiles	= 0
exc_1_+hwids	= 1
exc_1_+hwid1	= "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00DF&SUBSYS_E0001458&REV_A2"
exc_1_+hwid2	= "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00DF&SUBSYS_02501462&REV_A2"
exc_1_+hwid3	= "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00DF&SUBSYS_A5511297&REV_A2"
exc_1_-hwids	= 0
exc_1_+infFiles	= 0

Thanks OverFlow... Never crossed my mind to look there

EDIT: Does this look right?

[DriverPack]
platform	= "wnt5_x86-32"
name		= "Rick's"
classes		= "Modem, Video, Sound, Chipset, NIC"
rootDir		= "D\3"
driverCount	= 8

decompSize	= 21,049,717
compSize	= 5,985,527

If you need to know what the meaning or purpose is for a certain entry, you can find a reference in any DriverPacks BASE starting from version 7.01.2 RC1, in docs\DriverPack_reference_wnt5_x86-32.ini.

It is my understanding that all packs will be required to have these in the future.
For most third party packs exceptions probably won't be an issue so it should be fairly easy to create them.

OK I use 3rd party driverpacks that I personally make. Here are some questions I have:

- Do I need the INI file for my 3rd party packs?
- Whats the purpose of the INI file?
- Can somebody explain this in detail?

[DriverPack]
platform	= "wnt5_x86-32"
name		= "Chipset"
rootDir		= "D\C"
; OPTIONAL
classes		= "Infrared,Ports,System"
driverCount	=
decompSize	=
compSize	=


; This exception removes some silly, useless HP/Compaq "eHelp" button (that actually is integrated into the chipset!) from the system.

exc_1_+infFiles	= 0
exc_1_-infFiles	= 0
exc_1_commands	= 1
exc_1_command1	= "%SystemDrive%\devcon.exe remove ACPI\MGMT180"

Thanx...
