Thanks for all your help buddy!

DPINST.EXE /c /s /sh /lm /el /sa

disc layout (assume ODD is d:\)

d:\autorun.inf
d:\dpinst.exe
d:\dpinst.xml
d:\Drivers Folder\
d:\Drivers Folder\driver a folder
d:\Drivers Folder\driver b folder
d:\Drivers Folder\...
d:\Drivers Folder\driver z folder
 
That should be all that is required

1. Copy DPInst.exe and the .xml file to a seperate folder.
2. Download and extract ALL the Vista packs to this above working folder.
3. Run DPInst.exe with the following command switches - /c /s /sh /lm /el /sa

Now if I wanted to make a self running SAD then I could just make a autorun file.

Thanks m8!

Stoner.

PS - Can we use the new version of DPInst.exe?

you just have to extract the packs to a subfolder of dpinst and run it.  It could not be any easier to use tongue.

Just put dpinst and DPInst.xml (this file is in a SAD folder so you could copy it)

DPInst.xml

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
  <dpinst>
    <search>
      <subDirectory>*</subDirectory>
    </search>
   <scanHardware/>
   <legacyMode/>
   <promptIfDriverIsNotBetter/>
  </dpinst>

the xml file tells dpinst to search all subfolders for drivers wink

for silent mode just run DPINST.EXE /c /s /sh /lm /el /sa

/c = Log to console (dos window)
/s = silent
/sh = Search local hardware
/lm = Legacy mode
/el = enable language support (all not listed languages - none are listed so all are enabled)

/sa = suppress Add Remove Programs * very important as this can be quite messy if not used!

Since Win7 will use Vista drivers you can just extract any packs you want to a subfolder of dpinst.exe... EASY!

Very much a n00b to this part of the packs sad I got XP sorted out though using DP Base but hey ho (sorry little off topic there).

The names for the packs are not the same wink.

I know a lot of you guys are working on a Windows 7 tool already big_smile

I was right we are using 2.0.1 and the latest is 2.1.0

I will have to test it and check the license to see if we can update to 2.1
(I hope the newer version is still a redistributable file!)

If so then SAD for Vista and for Win7 is 99% done wink

you should just be able to put the extr4acted drivers in a subfloder of dpinst.exe with the command line i use and the xml file i provide... test... (optional check to see if newer version of dpinst exists)

I will be wanting to intergrate all the Vista packs stored on DP.net (x86 and x64 versions). So this could take a while.

Stoner.

but the usage is the same.

If I am reading right if I make a SAD using DPbase then it will work with Windows7 rather than using the guide shown on MSDN for "Creating a DPInst Installation Package"?

Sorry about all the question buddy sad

Stoner.

EDIT

Also can I put x86 and x64 on the same DVD or will that screw things up? If I need to make one for x86 and x64 that's not a problem but would be nice to have just one DVD big_smile.

I also see that the Vista Tool project has been dropped so I have no idea on how to go about making a SAD dvd for Windows 7 (x86 and x64) *cries*
