Vista-Tool works fine, although there is a learning curve to it for sure.
One of the major drawbacks (that we have on our 'to-do' list) is we have no Vista 'Finisher'. There are workarounds, but they are clumsy.
I would integrate all the DriverPacks that would fit, then for those drivers that require apps/control panels, re-run those separate installers after Vista is successfully installed.

Re: [SLVD] Detecting but Not installing "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650" (14 replies, posted in DriverPack Graphics)
Yep, that HWID is covered by DriverPack Graphics A\A1\mobility.inf and if you were using one of the 903n nightlies you might have run into the bug SamLab reported a few days ago. I fixed it in DriverPack Graphics A 903n3 posted yesterday.
If you could try that nightly here I'd appreciate the extra test to verify I fixed the problem.
Thanks, and welcome to DriverPacks!

Can you post what HWID that adapter is using?
And which DriverPack Graphics A did you use? I've updated the latest nightly to fix this problem specifically just yesterday.

Wow, you were right. CSV output is about 10 times faster than .xls. I don't blame you for dropping it now!
My only request would be to reduce the app 'focus' so that it's not on top of everything! I like doing other things while scanning.

Welcome to DriverPacks.
I've never heard of DriverPacks BASE version 3.3. We're already on version 9 here (they're numbered after the year they were created). I'd first suggest you update to the latest version of DriverPacks BASE (see main page).
If you have any further problems, please read the link in my signature before you post so you know what info we need to help you.

Re: MassStorage x64 (73 replies, posted in Vista / 7 DriverPack Mass Storage)
OK, it's always possible that there is nothing wrong with Vista-tool or the vista DriverPacks themselves...the drivers themselves maybe at fault here.
@Fragbert, which folder exactly are you deleting to make these work?
Has anyone used kickarse's HWID tool to scan these DriverPacks yet? Something is triggering this control panel install from within Vista. It's a shame we don't have proper log files to investigate.
I'd prefer to eliminate any possible alternatives before resorting to finger-pointing (which never solves anything anyway)
*Edit
so far I found duplicates between:
Dell SAS * Controller
\Masstorage_x64_903.2\10\5\lsi_sas.inf
\Masstorage_x64_903.2\11\1\lsi_sas.inf
LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS PCI Express ROMB
\Masstorage_x64_903.2\10\3\oemsetup.inf
\Masstorage_x64_903.2\10\4\oemsetup.inf
ATI 436E Serial ATA Controller
\Masstorage_x64_903.2\5\2\1\SI3112.inf
\Masstorage_x64_903.2\5\2\3\1\SI3112r.inf
Silicon Image's Pseudo Processor Device (prime suspect)
\Masstorage_x64_903.2\5\4\2\sippd.inf (9/20/2006) Delete .inf
\Masstorage_x64_903.2\5\5\2\sippd.inf (9/17/2008) Keep
\Masstorage_x64_903.2\5\6\1\sippd.inf (11/13/2007) Delete .inf
I'm not overly concerned with HWID dupes from two .infs from the the same OEM folder (like \Masstorage_x64_903.2\2\2\...massive overlap!), but in the case of overlapping HWIDs from different vendors, we cannot prune the .infs because that would break driver signing.
Maybe deleting the offending .inf or folder is the best way forward until we can disable driver signing issues.
I'd rather have stable drivers than more drivers.
Note to all.
We DriverPacks builders are few. But we cannot bugtest on all hardware.
We NEED testers. It's a symbiotic relationship.

Re: RIS Install and method 2 (32 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
True, my code would have to scan the contents of the text file first. Not quick. But more universal.
I believe your syntax is wrong though. It should be this:
REM +==========================================================================+
If exist "%systemroot%\system32\setupold.exe" DEL /F "%systemroot%\system32\setupold.exe"
start /wait move /y "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\$win_nt$.~ls\$OEM$\$1\*" "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\"
REM +==========================================================================+

Re: RIS Install and method 2 (32 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
If it helps, here's the batch code I wrote to determine the source files installation directory for my oemscan addon. It should work for disc-based or RIS-based installs.
The below code will find the drive letter/path to the source and declare it as the string %dospath%.
:PATH
setLocal EnableDelayedExpansion
for /f "tokens=* delims= " %%a in (%systemroot%\system32\$WINNT$.INF) do (
echo %%a | find "dospath=" > nul
if not errorlevel 1 set str=%%a
)
for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%a in ('echo !str!') do (
SET dospath=%%a
echo dospath=!dospath!
)
You could leave the OEM folder in your RIS image and just point presetup.cmd to %dospath%\OEM
Just a thought...

Re: [REQ] 64bit support - No... Not for NT5 based platforms (101 replies, posted in Feature Requests)
Believe me, the driver vendors are WELL aware of our work here. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they're LEARNING from our work here.
If their legal department was in the least bit concerned about us, they'd issue a C&D letter and we'd fully comply.
But, kickarse is correct. Warez discussion is forbidden.
