Help? yes please.
As said before, we can use all help we can get.
Especialy with the Vista / 7 drivers.

Good to hear. Let me know if you think of anything else.

As a side note, nothing was as frustrating as trying to figure out why DISM kept failing. I have my xbox360 controller drivers, an infrared remote receiver device (non-MS) and soundmax hd audio which all integrated without incident using DISM. It just so happens that what these three had in common were no files ending in underscore (compressed). Even after decompression it was a no go to which later on I found that the uncompressed file had to retain the underscore.

I'll be more than happy to help with driverpacks if I find the time. Please let me know.

This is done. Use link above and let me know if works out.

NOTE: You must enclose directory in commandline in double quotes. "C:\MY DRIVERS" Trailing backslash optional.

I'll keep it the way it is for non-command line. As long as you feed it a path, I don't see why it shouldn't work this way. I will work on it today. It is very easy to do. Will let you know.

Hi Razormoon,

would it be too much to ask to modify your app to accept the driverpath on the commandline instead of using that ini file ? I´d like to keep my scripts totally independent of location in the filesystem so I query the current path whenever possible and then use that in a variable.

Just do it if it is easy to implement, thanks !

Bye,
Alex

Not too off topic, but when a batch starts hitting a brick wall I usually run to vba or autoit since it's simple file manipulation. For more severe projects I'll to delphi. If you need help with those batches let me know.

Oh, I didn't realize you transitioned to autoit from batch.
*offtopic,
I've been struggling with my own oemscan project and getting it to output to a logfile from batch.

This is a compiled autoit (non macro). I didn't think it warranted pascal - which is the only language I code in. However, if you find it would be useful in delphi, I'll see if I have some time to port over. If it's even worth it...?

I can probably open it up to accept command lines and you can just include it in whatever you're working on. Either way pants.

Let me know.

No sweat. It works great with already expanded files.

Hi Razormoon,

thanks, seems to work fine now. I especially like that the tool also works silently if the driverdir has been specified once. I guess there is no problem running the tool on a driverdir with already expanded drivers ?

I have coded a new decompressor...hopefully this will get rid of nasties the likes of which midi found.
All I need to know now is how to u/l!

Yes, the delims is putting a wrench in the batch. Fantastic stuff Alex, I'll probably leave the batch and put something together in code.

EDIT: Thinking of making this super silent and maybe you can integrate it into a script. I'll use an ini for directory pointer. Yes?
