well i found Pyrons original post and one version of the source code for setup
http://www.msfn.org/board/SOLVED-driver … ntry159358

#include "windows.h"
int APIENTRY WinMain(HINSTANCE hInstance,
                    HINSTANCE hPrevInstance,
                    LPSTR     lpCmdLine,
                    int       nCmdShow )
{

    SHELLEXECUTEINFO mySHELLEXECUTEINFO;

    mySHELLEXECUTEINFO.cbSize=sizeof(SHELLEXECUTEINFO);
    mySHELLEXECUTEINFO.fMask=SEE_MASK_NOCLOSEPROCESS;
    mySHELLEXECUTEINFO.hwnd=NULL;
    mySHELLEXECUTEINFO.lpVerb="Open";
    mySHELLEXECUTEINFO.lpFile="cmd.exe";
    mySHELLEXECUTEINFO.lpParameters="/C setup.cmd";
    mySHELLEXECUTEINFO.lpDirectory=".";
    mySHELLEXECUTEINFO.nShow=NULL; // or SW_SHOW;

    ShellExecuteEx(&mySHELLEXECUTEINFO);
    WaitForSingleObject(mySHELLEXECUTEINFO.hProcess,INFINITE);

    return 0;
}

Welcome to the forum dutchtraveller and bajargratis

thanks for your interest and taking the time to 'vote'.

Vista will absolutely have 64bit support.

It is only the XP platform we are discussing whether to support in 64 bit or not...

nope it never has been available to me - nor do i know who wrote it...

fake setup and presetup.cmd both run from %systemRoot%\system32\

Why in the world would i need the 'fake' setup program to return that value????
(i already have two variables that return that value...  SystemDrive and SystemRoot.)
[scratches head and is confused]


you said "Indeed, if there's a Hard Disk with a OEM folder/file at root, then identification is corrupted."

Um no if there is a folder at root named OEM then we have found the DriverPacks.
(we are the only ones who use this name
if you use it for something else then shame on you,
pick a different name) wink

well this is a standard 845 chipset MB your list of devices are all supported.

845 chipset is supported is in DriverPack Chipset
Intel Pro\1000 is supported is in DriverPack LAN
Intel Extreme Graphics Driver is in DriverPack Graphics B

IDK why they would not be updated...

perhaps seeing your %SystemDrive%\DP_Install_Tool.log will shed some light on the problem.

  ( probably located at C:\DP_Install_Tool.log )

yes the sad disk can be created without a source OS as long as you dont want cab compression.

if you require cab compression you will need 2k 2k3 or xp OS to trigger base into doing the cabbing
I will probably add the abblity to create a SAD disk from base as an option / platform. it seems to be a popular feature.

a sad disk will work on 2000 XP or 2003

well to be legal you should have a "licence" for each disk you burn

IE if i use a winxp source my cd burns one of my XP licenses (just like it was a PC)

so if licensing is the issue, that is addressable, just make sure you have a valid license for each PE disk you have.

If Galapo thinks you can use liveXP... i would certainly try it

thanks for you interest and kind words...  we will see where this leads  keep us 'posted' wink

perhaps you need to use "run as" to get the proper permission

if there is a dpinst.log then it did run... how big is the log like 800k or so? (typical for all packs)

since you devices are not installing it might be nice to see the HWIDS perhaps they are not in the packs...

mass storage support for ERD is based on you provideing a driver with the oemtext file
we dont use those as we integrate the drivers directly...
so it looks like the mass storage option is out...

it looks as though you could add the network drivers - one at a time.
that doesnt sound like any fun...j

it probably could be done but it will require some more digging around to see exactly what must be done.

the ubcd4win option is easier wink lol

first you should see a popup when the packs extract

then
dpinst.exe runs and it logs to the screen (in the blue window several thousand lines and takes a few minutes) .
it will list stuff like:

INFO:   RETURN: DriverPackagePreinstallW  (0xE000020B)
INFO:   Preinstalling 'e:\\d\c\i\xp\e727505.inf' ...
INFO:   ENTER:  DriverPackagePreinstallW
INFO:   Looking for Model Section [INTEL_SYS]...
INFO:   No matching devices found in INF "e:\\d\c\i\xp\e727505.inf"

if you see lines like the above scrolling by it is working !

if the dpinst file wasn't found it would have paused and put a message up like          DPINST.exe doesn't exist
since it did not pause and give an error i can only assume it worked correctly

the finisher deletes the files and creates a runonce entry to delete itself after you reboot - that is normal.

dpinst should have run just before the finisher did... there whould have been a window visible while it ran for a few moments...

i added two debug lines to the cmd file to help you... please use the code below in your DP_Install_Tool.cmd for a test run

there are going to be lots of intel updates si9nce thier new chipsets roll out in June normaly

june july and august are riddled with updates and patches every year...

i keep trying to tell you guys to wait till the dust settles. but it is your time to waste wink .

I prefer stable packs -
the first intel drivers that roll out in june / july never are...
just as they were not this year... and will not be next year.

NEWER is NOT always BETTER... and more often than not it is worse.

if a drive is up for a month or more and doesn't get patched then it is starting to look good for us...
we could certainly put every release in a nightly but that just makes our hardowrking team members chase thier tails adding drivers with bugs only to have to redo this work a week later when  the patches roll out for the reported bugs.

Stable is prefered to current every time.

Most of the time the people who want the newer driver dont even know WHY they want it.
IE they dont have a probvlem with the existing driver AND they dont even know what teh new driver does that the old one didn't

for 80% of the requests they just want to see the higher version number - or to be able to brag that they saw it first...
If you are not suffereing from a problem with the old driver what is the rush to get the new one?

the driver is not miraculusly going to double your pc's speed or fix that pesky memory leak or add 50% to your frame rate in that particular game or in the case of this one its not gooing to reduce your ping time to the server.

so really waht you want us to do is
take a rock solid version of the driver and replace it with one that may be bugged
and you want us to do this for no good reason what so ever - or perhaps for no reason at all

Chill out on the requests for drivers we know when they are there (and we knew before you did)

we will let you know when a driver is ready for the packs.

have a nice day

PS i realize the three of you have been here a while and i luv you guys... your not who i wrote this for wink
i think it is better i slip this in here than to blast a noob with it big_smile
