this folder is not part of a normal windows installation.
if you have specified this folder in your build thien it will be deleted by the finisher.
Use a different name (Temp) or
create it after the finisher runs or...

We have been useing this folder for the finisher for 5 years with no complaints
there are some other issues as well
the spaces i put in for readability are not parsed well in win2k command shell
there is an extra command  & %%i
-> @ IF Exist "%%i:\$OEM$\$1\D\"   SET "DPLoc=%%i:\$OEM$\$1" & Set "M=1" & %%i

the Tool is / was designed to be a template / example
It is to be replaced with a more proper executable in the next release of DriverPacks BASE

http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=71
- [beta] - Option for install by HWIDs tool or dp_inst_tool
  - Add GUI for Driver selection menu
  - convert two (three) tools to a single classier and proper EXE
      the script / tutorial dp_inst_tool has outlived it's usefulness

There is a newer tool that extracts from the DriverPacks only drivers that match teh HWID on the target machine. (Released only to testing team members)

There has been interest in a GUI for attended installs for some time    http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=2075

So the new EXE will have a GUI to select/deslect individual DriverPacks with a timeout default feature
and option to do a HWIDS specific extraction from the DriverPacks
and the existing dp_inst_tool functionality.

WarmSnow also has an advanced tool for doing this...

and Jaws too

Have a great day

I have found several bugs in DP_Install_Tool.cmd
from the BASE -- DPs_BASE_8124.exe

I have a new version I wrote without bugs (I hope...)
that also has more advanced messaging and logging with log backups

Feel free to use it, post it, or modify

download the re-write at: http://computerfixpro.com/DP_Install_Tool-SRS-new.zip

Hope this will be a help to others who want to use Stand-Alone.

Can't remember all of the bugs of original but this is what
I can remember:

line 26 --> %LOG should be %LOG%

line 64 --> `type F:\WINDOWS\DPINST.log` should be `type %SystemRoot%\DPINST.log`

also noted: DPsFnshr.exe deletes C:\TMP directory without WARNING

Other bugs -- ???
