Just reporting that the latest nightly seems to work fine for me without having the problem in this thread. Thanks!

Sorry for the lack of follow-up on the problem but rigth at the time I was testing this work really kicked in heavy which included a few weeks of travel so it wasn't possible for me to address this. With that said I am going to try and do a set of installs on the same D630 and a new E6500 this weekend. I will report back my findings.

Slightly off topic: I have a client that uses lots of different model Dell laptops and desktops and I realized that I may be able to supply some decent feedback to the forum if I teach one of my guys to monitor the driverpack installs and run the HWID for any problem items he notices. I am working on this now and will hopefully start training him next week. I would very much like to give back to this forum for all the help you provide us.

I was looking at the nightly and noticed that there isn't a nvhotkey.dll file anymore, so I guess the lastest driver can't have this specific problem.

While that may be true of other drivers, graphics drivers are one area where users may actually see performance and stability improvements.
Sometimes this is not the case.

And no, you're not dumb. That's a pretty insightful statement.

em..yeah. I may be dumb, but why is it necessary to update drivers to newer versions, which seems to be crap. If the older driver version is OK and newer version fails, then why bother making "bread of s***". If nvidia makes bad drivers, thats their problem (or not?)

Hopefully, the latest nightly fixes this with the move to 190.62 drivers.
I'm working on a DriverPack Graphics A 909beta (just a cleaned-up nightly) to upload in the next few days.

sorry we have had no feedback on this...

mr_smartepants fix should be valid... (but the alps pad is not a video driver so don't look for it to be added )

You could post your results to save someone else who may wander in here

Has there been any further progress on this? I too am trying to install on a Dell D630c and I'm having the exact same problem. It seems that the file nvHotkey.dll just doesn't copy to the system32 directory. I guess I'll just implement the fix above posted by mr_smartepants? Any other comments or things I should try?

You could try adding a line to the DriverPacks Finisher .ini to do that work for you.
I'm not sure of the contents of your cmd file, but DriverPacks Finisher can do some of it for you.

exc_1_commands = 3
exc_1_command1 = "regedit /s %systemdrive%\nvidia.ins"
exc_1_command2 = "cmd.exe /c DEL /F /S /Q %SystemDrive%\nvidia.ins"
exc_1_command3 = "cmd.exe /c copy /y %DPSROOT%\D\G\N1\nvhotkey.dll %SystemRoot%\system32"

The nvidia video is an upgrade option and out of 30 systems we have I have the only one with it... so what I have found is that with the exception of the ALPS pad which never installs on any of the numerous Dell laptops we have... the driver pack works for the D630 with just the intel video.

I decided to try a somewhat "juryrig" fix but I have now tried it 2x and it works perfect:

I copy nvhotkey.dll to D:\$OEM$\$$\System32 on my CD and I run a reg_nvcuvenc.dll.cmd during my runonceex... this simply makes sure that nvhotkey.dll is there during install and addresses the one other error that I found it the setupapi.log

I know this defeats the basic principal of a single standard disk for installs but until there is a real fix having a custom but working CD for the D630 model is fine with me.

i had a problem with my D620 after it finshed stage 2 of windows installation after it restarted at boot screen loading a blue screen apeared says "fatal error, hardware malfunction" i rebooted it in safe mode installed graphics driver provided by Dell then it worked fine. with previous version of graphics DP did not had any problem for the same computer.

it is NVIDIA Quadro NVS 120M

If you download the standard nvidia drivers, then extract them to a folder and run setup.exe they'll work fine. But if you go through device manager and click "update driver" using the "have disk" method those same drivers will fail. Nvidia designed them that way I guess. Your guess is as good as mine. Hopefully nvidia will release some drivers that actually work soon.

Thanks for hanging in there with me... this is really stumping me...

When I use the Graphics A pack with the correction to the nvHotkey.dll inf entry I still get the nvHotkey.dll failure

When I use a pack I try and make myself I fail with a VGA new hardware found popup and a VGA display... also the NvCplSetupInt copy error.

Should I try a custom pack with your corrected inf from the pack?

If I use the drivers from a backup it doesn't even show nvHotkey.dll in the folder so how would it be installed?

If I use a custom pack do I still select the A pack to get the control panels to install?

I downloaded and installed the driver manually so I am stumped why it works that way and not our way

I am going to try and copy the nvHotkey.dll to the system32 folder and register it to see if everything else is OK and it is only a copy of the file issue

I don't know why nvcuvenc.dll is failing. I can't spot anything out of the ordinary and all the entries are the same as nv4_disp.inf (which is what my card uses.

You've found the NvCplSetupInt bug I fixed. You have to change one of the destinationdir from 01 to 11 to fix that copy bug. Nvidia really needs to do their homework with their .infs! Lately they're garbage.
