Ha! I use this myself.
All it does is display a wallpaper during fakesetup with a nice Vista orb background and the text "Installing Drivers".
It's initial concept started before we added the progress bar during .7z extraction. Before that there were no visual cues so the user would think the system had hung.
It is here: http://www.wincert.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=4801

In our future, MSFT will take care of many things we did for free, and they may do it for free.
The tools MSFT develop(ed) to do this may be scripted to, or may be (made) distributable and (then) scripted to.
Well, DPINST.exe worked out great for us. We'll just have to wait and see what M$ releases into the wild.

Re: Empty Folder in DriverPack Sound B (20 replies, posted in DriverPack Sound)
Got them! I'll be replacing SMC1 with these. They're 2 months newer and have more HWIDs.
I'll also prune the rest of DriverPack Sound B to make sure everything's clear.
I guess I'll just remove the empty sma9 dir eh?

Re: Empty Folder in DriverPack Sound B (20 replies, posted in DriverPack Sound)
I took a deeper look at these. They're a newer replacement for \SMC1\ and they add about a dozen more HWIDs we didn't have before. Unfortunately, the archive King Cobra sent me is missing 3 files called in the .inf. I've emailed him for the missing files. If he mails them back, I can add them.

Re: Not working in Hyper-V virtual machine (6 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
Where are the setup*.log files located at?
%systemroot% (ie. C:\Windows\ )
They're named setupact.log (huge), setupapi.log, setuperr.log (should be empty), setuplog.txt (also large).
They'll give you insight where the problem was during setup.

It's possible this 'copy' was burned at too high a speed. Slower the speed, the more reliable the burn.

Re: Not working in Hyper-V virtual machine (6 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
HWIDS?
Sounds like a driver hanging. Check your setup*.log files.
I thought Hyper-V was only with W2k3 server with that feature, not XP.
I'm confused, is this a problem in live metal, or only VM?

It's a soundmax audio driver. Not really old, but old. It's possible I can just put it in the empty folder.

Re: Empty Folder in DriverPack Sound B (20 replies, posted in DriverPack Sound)
I'm looking at the drivers he emailed me. This one has a handful of HWIDs we can use. I"ll just have to figure out where to put them for the next nightly.
The other drivers are all duplicated elsewhere.

That's software piracy.
You cannot "start over" with a preintegrated source without problems.
Start over with a "Clean" (as in hologramed legitimate XP CD).

Re: ATI Mobility Radeon on Vista/7 (5 replies, posted in DriverPack Graphics)
Well, to be fair, Win7 is beta. M$ themselves said that driver support at this stage is experimental. Nvidia is quoted as saying their driver included with Win7 should be used instead of the 181.20 download. I'm sure ATI is no better.
With that old hardware, ditch both Win7 and Vista and go back to XP, you'll be much happier.

I still don't understand why the HWIDs get jumbled in Cyrillic languages.

Re: [Solved] DP Base 8.05 works / 8.12.x "no files to extract" error (47 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
How about changing the presetup.cmd line from:
SET TAGFILE=\OEM
to: SET TAGFILE=\OEM\bin\un7zip.exe
It's being called 6 lines later anyway.
Besides, \OEM isn't a 'tagfile', it's a 'tagdir'. ![]()

Re: fake setup call himself instead original "setup.exe" - Setup Abort (43 replies, posted in Feedback and Support - DriverPacks Base)
where shall i find this unmodified (no driverpacks added) OEM windows XP cd ???
If you don't own it, we will not help you.
Warez discussion here is not tolerated. Go legit or go home.
@Bledi, our support to you for DriverPacks ends now, unless you find your original LEGAL XP disc. If you didn't pay for it, or it wasn't provided by your PC maker, is is NOT legal.
Feel free to come back for assistance once you've got your PC back within the confines of the law.
Here's the steps:
1. Read the tutorial.
2. Start with your original legal XP disc.
3. If your disc does not include SP3, integrate it.
4. Run DriverPacks BASE and follow the tutorial.
5. Build your ISO and test.
@Mods, should I close thread? This problem was solved with the latest DriverPacks BASE correct?
The root of his problem is this line:
REM +==========================================================================+
REM | Decompressing the DriverPacks to the harddisk - using un7zip.exe. |
REM |--------------------------------------------------------------------------|
%CDDRIVE%\OEM\bin\un7zip.exe %CDDRIVE%\OEM\DRIVER.7z %SystemDrive%\\oem\driver.7z does not exist therefore cannot be extracted.

That scores a hit from PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_037F&CC_0101 in dpms \NVTM\NVATABUSTM.inf but NOT NVRAIDTM.inf
Were you trying those SATA drives in RAID, AHCI, or IDE (compatibility) mode?

You remember Nick Burns from SNL ?
Yeah! I miss the old episodes with Gilda Radner, John Candy, Dan Akeroyd, Chevy Chase, etc.
The new ones are just dumb.
I suggest you put back PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2829 in the I3 section of the INI file and remove it from I4 and give a second try.
This fixes the VirtualBox problem. ![]()

Updated to v6.14.10.5016.
OK, I have it in the latest nightly on my desk. But I've got some serious cleanup in the nvidia sections. Wow, what a mess with the duplicate HWIDs.
Give me a few days to fix before I upload OK?
