I forgot webcam, also had that pack. After removing it everything works.

I am sure you won't need LAN RIS.... unless you are doing RIS deployments...

Use SAD for the third party packs...

I think I am struggling with this issue. I already ran DriverPacks Finisher on 36 separate builds and powerpacked them. I tried removing the offending packs from the OEM folder and repacking, but no effect. I tried running DriverPacks Finisher on a fresh build and then copying the files to the powerpack OEM folder, still no effect. Do I have to start over? Posting DPs_Base.ini below. Also, I originally had all the latest drivers plus the latest 3rd party: Graphic lang, Phisx, HID, MISC, Modem, Runtimes, TV, Monitors, Bluetooth and LAN RIS. I removed Monitors, Bluetooth and LAN RIS and the problem persists. Are there any other offending packs? Thanks.

he recently updated the code to deal with case issues

if (fd->cFileName[filenamelen - 4] == '.' && (fd->cFileName[filenamelen - 3] == 'I' || fd->cFileName[filenamelen - 3] == 'i') && (fd->cFileName[filenamelen - 2] == 'N' || fd->cFileName[filenamelen - 2] == 'n') && (fd->cFileName[filenamelen - 1] == 'F' || fd->cFileName[filenamelen - 1] == 'f'))

that will find .INF, .INf, .Inf, .iNF, .inF, .inf, .InF, .iNf ect...

the path limit for xp is the max reg size value, i believe it is 64k... no worries ATM

the old devpath code had a similar issue to the one you and i had .. exceeding the buffer size of an array in the app. I think he set the buffer size in this app to 100k again no worries.

I am curious what our path length is ATM?

Also, I had an idea in the resolution of the string length in the registry value ... what about adding the ability to truncate to only the required to get up and running INF types (LAN, MassStorage, CPU, etc) and then have the program wait around (or call it again) for the installation of those items and then add the rest (provided it's not over the limit and then rinse and repeat as necessary until all drivers are installed) then reboot or whatever the case is.

Gotcha ... perhaps as a slight improvement it might be good to add all iterations of the inf extension, as it seems it is case sensitive in its searching and in those just in case scenerios (for scanning not so perfect INFs, stuff the DP team hasn't done) --> .INF, .INf, .Inf, .iNF, .inF, .inf, .InF, .iNf -- OR somehow make it case insensitive.

It looks to be the same thing... except this one is ours ...

yeah... I've been hecka busy with life ... ugh...

Good to see you're still plugging along!

Is devpath any different than http://www.vernalex.com/tools/spdrvscn/ ?

a good point... bot not really relevant... if a few non relevant paths slip through they will just be ignored when searched... shouldn't slow things down much

Nice to see ya Kickarse!

That's cool... remember, though, that not all INF files are true driver files.

The code sample shown above was enhanced on 03/11/11 to handle upper and lower case filename extension (e.g. .inf or .INF or .Inf).
