@Erik
Took me 3 months to explain the PE driver thingy to Jeff, so don't feel bad. (His inf entries look ok and is in pebuilder format, not either of the 2 completely different windows formats. lol )
Whew! Thanks. I thought I was going nuts there. Good luck and get well soon!

Re: Release Candidates of Graphics DriverPacks open for public testing! (41 replies, posted in News)
Just to clarify, is that typo fixed in the current rc11?
No.
in DriverPack Graphics A\N1\nv4_go.inf move all of the listed hwids from [NVIDIA_Devices.NT.6.0] header to the main listing under [NVIDIA_Devices] header.
I have it fixed here in the final.
*Edit
Ah, crap. nv4_go.inf has a bigger typo than I first thought. It needs a rewrite to work with the new drivers.
I'll have it spotless for 9.12 final.

Re: [REQ][Nvidia notebook/go mobile drivers] (30 replies, posted in DriverPack Graphics)
Doing a basic integration works fine. In fact the only driver that was missing was the wireless for some reason. *shrug*
Awesome. Thank you. At least we know the driver itself works fine on your system.
we need to get the attention of the UBCD4win team...
cdob pops in here often... but i may cross post...
@ Erik - the layout of the inf is specific to PEBuilder (the main exe for Bartpe disc creation)
OK no problem. Thanks for the info Jeff, I had assumed the PE files would be different, but I didn't know HOW different!

Re: [REQ][Nvidia notebook/go mobile drivers] (30 replies, posted in DriverPack Graphics)
I tried to just extract the N3 directory, rename the N3 folder name to files, put that into the 3rd party section and rebuild with the below entries in the 3rd party inf file:
[WinntDirectories] a=nview,1 [SourceDisksFiles] files\nvdm.inf=20,,1 files\advanced.tvp=a,,1 files\default.tvp=a,,1 files\nvsvc32.exe=2,,1 files\keystone.exe=2,,1 files\nvwssr.dll=2,,4 files\nv4_mini.sys=4,,1 files\nvwcplen.hlp=21,,1
I'm trying to figure out what you're doing with the above code. If you're building an .inf, then you're syntax is all wrong I think.
You're using the following directory strings in [SourceDisksFiles] but not declared in [WinntDirectories]: 2, 4, 20, 21. 'a' is declared, but improperly I think.
Any time you have [SourceDisksFiles] it must be matched with both [SourceDisksNames] and [DestinationDirs].
The syntax you're using implies a .sif file but even txtsetup.sif uses a different layout.
Each comma position defines an exact location. An example:
[SourceDisksFiles]
_default.pif = 1,,,,,,,1,2,0
Also, I don't think [WinntDirectories] ever contains commas. Dir\subdir are always contained in quotes.
If you could just do a straight integration with DriverPacks BASE to a standard XP build we can determine if the driver itself is working or not or if your ubcd4win config is screwed.

Re: Release Candidates of Graphics DriverPacks open for public testing! (41 replies, posted in News)
Yes.
In fact, I'm using rc11 as the basis for the 912 final. I found a minor typo in DriverPack Graphics A\N1\nv4_go.inf and I'm taking my time scrubbing for other bugs.
We'll have final 912 graphics DriverPacks for Christmas!

Re: Release Candidates of Graphics DriverPacks open for public testing! (41 replies, posted in News)
Right.
But it's the DriverPacks Finisher that installs all of them. Not SAD. Although SAD does run a second instance of DriverPacks Finisher.
If you have the runtime Third Party DriverPack present in the %cdrom%\oem\ folder then it will be extracted along with the other DriverPacks and the installers will be made available to the DriverPacks Finisher.
Otherwise, you'd be better off removing the runtimes Third Party DriverPack and integrating .net and vc using either T-13 or ROE.
2,608 2009-12-06 08:33:13
Re: Release Candidates of Graphics DriverPacks open for public testing! (41 replies, posted in News)
The only requirement for ATICCC is to have .NET and the VC runtimes installed any time BEFORE the CCC installer executes.
Whatever you choose to do to make that happen is up to you. I personally use Yumeyao's .NET AIO at T-13 along with Roguespear's VC installer also at T-13. But I've tested the runtime Third Party DriverPack and it works flawlessly.
BUT
If you use the runtime Third Party DriverPack AND try to install .NET or VC's earlier in the process then the DriverPacks Finisher WILL HANG on those installers because they're already installed.

Re: [REQ][Nvidia notebook/go mobile drivers] (30 replies, posted in DriverPack Graphics)
OK, I understand your frustration. But I have zero experience with ubcd4win so I really cannot help you there.
What I was hoping was that you would do a standard integration (no ubcd4win) so we could determine if it was a DriverPacks fail or ubcd4win fail.
I'll have to remove those beta .inf files while I process the graphics DriverPacks for final status. We'll work on this problem in the nightlies where all the cutting-edge stuff happens.
Our mantra is "Stability before currency". And the graphics DriverPacks are more stable now than they've ever been!

Re: [REQ][Nvidia notebook/go mobile drivers] (30 replies, posted in DriverPack Graphics)
Indeed. That's why I updated the rc to include them!
The mobile drivers have NOT been fixed though but I'm sure their next round will be.
*Edit,
The mobile drivers got updated last night to 195.62 whql. Downloading now...

Re: [REQ][Nvidia notebook/go mobile drivers] (30 replies, posted in DriverPack Graphics)
OK, I've never used UBCD4Win or BartPE but your log tells me that something got screwed along the way. Why would DriverPacks BASE take the time to .cab compress the packs (wrong DriverPack Graphics C too) then set the install method to 2?
DPsMethod = "2"
:?
Try again with a fresh source (with updates, addons, etc.), then use DriverPacks BASE to integrate using no graphics DriverPacks except the rc I linked above.
Then if it fails again, I'll need to see the following.
DPs_BASE.log
DPsFnshr.log (from %windir%)
setup***.log (from %windir%)
All I did with the test pack above was add the .infs from the beta you linked to DriverPack Graphics C\N3 (175.16). It should work, but I need to see the logs to see why it doesn't.
Thanks for testing.

Re: [REQ][Nvidia notebook/go mobile drivers] (30 replies, posted in DriverPack Graphics)
Welcome to DriverPacks!
Latest generic release from Nvidia
I understand requests for new drivers to be incorporated are a no-no,
What makes you think you can't request drivers?
If you don't ask, you don't get!
The link you provided is for older beta drivers. The latest WHQL (our favorite) nvidia notebook drivers are 186.81 and are listed here.
But you're absolutely correct. over 99% of the HWIDs listed in those notebook drivers are not included in our DriverPacks. I take responsibility for that. I'm sorry to have left those out.
But in order to add these, I will have to break driver-signing for these notebook drivers. This is because Nvidia intentionally introduced a fault to prevent driver integration (you saw this firsthand.)
Without modifying the .inf, you'll get a filecopy error around T-34 for NvCplSetup***.exe.
I can add these and they won't interfere with the current drivers.
I'll be providing a link for you to test. You feel up to the challenge?
See, that wasn't so bad was it? We don't bite (very often).

Unfortunately i removed every driver in drivers.cab with nlite that it offers to remove.
We do not recommend that users remove drivers with nlite. DriverPacks are designed to work with the included drivers, not replace them.

Re: [SLVD] ATI Control Panel ATICCC.ins not installing (64 replies, posted in DriverPack Graphics)
The correct switches so far are:
%path%\CC\setup.exe /S /v/qb /REBOOT=ReallySuppress
This works fine, but you're left with an annoying modal dialog asking you to reboot (yes/no) and everything hangs until you make a selection.
Microsoft documentation suggests using /qb- to dismiss the dialog, but since ATI doesn't follow the rules, that doesn't work with this MSI and only forces the restart.
Even using /noprompt or /norestart doesn't work. I'm still looking, but I'm at work and can't do a whole lot from here.
My next step is doing an administrative install point like Bâshrat the Sneaky describes in the hidden forums.
*Edit,
Solved it! The admin install point was it. I'm building a new DriverPack Graphics C RC for you to test. But it'll be fine. I've already tested it on my system.
*Edit 2
I'm rewriting all three graphics DriverPacks .ini files to encompass the runtimes. The runtime Third Party DriverPack will have it's .ini removed. This is so we can enforce the runtimes to execute before any CCC installers.
If our runtimes are not present, the CCC installer will still execute like before. This is to accommodate users who integrate their own runtimes.

Re: [SLVD] ATI Control Panel ATICCC.ins not installing (64 replies, posted in DriverPack Graphics)
You're right!
I just did a test in VM and forced the CCC install with the switches used and had an error popup just before it restarted the system.
It did only partially install, then failed. Maybe switching to the DriverPack Graphics A (newer) CCC will work.
I have a laptop that uses this folder.
Investigating...

The rc9 already on muiz's ftp would only require a relabel if all goes well.
So far we've had only good reports. But I'd like to wait for abdou since he still has not yet reported back.
It'd be a kick in the teeth to go final only to have him report back finally "hey guys, it didn't work".

Re: Release Candidates of Graphics DriverPacks open for public testing! (41 replies, posted in News)
Glad to be of service Sir!
Let us all know how it goes.
If you take the runtime Third Party DriverPack apart, you'll see in the DriverPacks Finisher .ini that I used %SystemRoot%\system32\atidemgx.dll as a trigger file (tagfile). This means that the runtimes will NOT install unless a compatible ATI card is present. Because these runtimes are only required by CCC, there's no point for DriverPacks Finisher to install them when they're not needed.
If you want to make the .NET/VC installers default, then delete the atidemgx.dll line and adjust the .ini tagfile count as necessary.

Re: Release Candidates of Graphics DriverPacks open for public testing! (41 replies, posted in News)
WooHoo! Thanks for the confirmed success! We got ourselves a FINAL!
Yes, I did not include the older driver.
If someone else requests it, I can add it to DriverPack Graphics C though.
Now that all the Nvidia drivers are signed, it doesn't really matter.

AutoImage requires a registry entry to correctly identify that DriverPacks BASE is present. Way back when, DriverPacks BASE actually had an installer that set this reg entry.

Re: [SLVD] ATI Control Panel ATICCC.ins not installing (64 replies, posted in DriverPack Graphics)
OK, I've got DriverPack Graphics A all worked out! Nvidia works perfect on my card.
And the best bit...I fixed the ATI CCC not running (sort of). ATI CCC requires a careful mix of .NET 2.0 and vcredist 2005sp1 and 2008sp1.
I've added the vcredist installers to DriverPack Graphics A and added the triggers to the DriverPacks Finisher .ini.
The only problem I've had in my testing is that ATI CCC won't start the first or second time you launch it, but after the second or third time (weird yes). But at least it works.
So now I need input from everyone.
Should I leave the vcredist installers in DriverPack Graphics A and leave the .NET dependency for the end user, or create Third Party DriverPacks for .NET and vcredist for those who need it?
The vcredist installers alone add ~10MB to the DriverPack Graphics A.
