Bâshrat the Sneaky is moving us to a google based search this will lighten the load on the sql server and should help make the board more responsive.

There is only one stupid question...
     The question that is never asked.

Anyone can test it... and we hope they do. PLEASE test!
it is possable that a driver in GA could conflict with a driver in GB or GC - (maybe...)

It is obviously most helpful to hear from people who do have the device. good or bad and their HWID's.

the answer is;
no special requirements
please test and report any problems
if you have the device report your hwid for the device, and if you have success too

yes we can leave the files on the server indefinitely...
and we probably should

base and pack versions please

quite frequently laptop drivers are OEM manufaturer specific (IE the Dell, HP or other's Nvidia driver must be used).
Reference drivers (IE from Nvidia's site) will not work in such cases.

since you have found one of these situations it is considered polite to provide a download link to the driver that does work for you.

if you need help please just ask

let us know if it works ok for you...

I deliberately used the simplest form of all commands and layout...

It was/is my intention to make it EASY to edit for anyone with even the most basic skills.

Obviously i could have written this much differently and made it hundreds of lines long.
if i had then only advanced programers could read and modify it.
as it is advanced programmers can take it where ever they like and weekenders can read and tweak it too.

again - This is not meant to be an exercise in demonstrating my programing ability it is meant to be an outline...
as such only sugestions that simplify it are appropriate

I do however encourage you guys to compare notes and your personal versions with each other.
I am sure with our userbase that you guys will post some awsome ideas. i probably will not implement them for the reasons i stated. much as i will not implement the logging example/idea above. it was just a simplest form example. I belive it is best to target the users with beginner skills, the advanced users are on their own

but is the Hotfix included?...

PreRelease drivers should not ever be in an officialy released pack...
they are supposed to be for testing only... I am sorry...
Thanks fragbert we will get that fixed -
Nice Catch! and thanks for reporting it...

yes we use fedit and have no reported issues to date.

From reading log files that have been submitted and other types of feedback
I know that we have DriverPacks running off of hundreds if not thousands of machines with sp3
I am aware of no other reports of failure related to fedit and sp3 machines.

It must be specific to something you alone are doing...

i would also like to point out the primary difference in the usage between you and the dp_base.

Base uses fedit to modify source files in a folder before createing the image that will be used to install.
we don't use fedit during the installation process... only during the slipstream (while the base program is running)

it is likely your crash and burn is a direct result of delayed write and file locking handles.
IE the file is opened before the write is actually completed by delayed write feature of windows file caching.

in base we are able to open and close file handles directly.
if you are familiar with WSH or VB or other high level script language you can also do this.

this is as good a place on the forum to post as any

Thanks for your feedback and continued support

I see this message...

it is on the monitor directly in front of me (evil laugh...)

Jaak can only work on 5 packs at a time... hang on a sec... lol

Thanks for being here abdou - your time is appreciated...

Glad we could help...

well you would have had a tough time searching like that...

it is actually documented in the docs\ folder of the DriverPacks base program folder it is called

DriverPack_reference_wnt5_x86-32.ini

you can use the terms in the reference file to find search keywords if you still have questions...

sorry that our documentation is not well documented ;D

Jaak may even steal some of this and use it for .INI University training...
and then U & I 2 could be a graduate of INIU - LOL

It really is not well documented and not surprizeingly therefore that it is also not well understood.
I am always eager to take opportunity to explain how powerful Bâshrat the Sneaky's INI / DP_finisher combo is.
It is a very versitile system and was well implemented.

the drivers get installed during setup
then the finisher checks what was installed and runs appropriate programs
based on installed hardware and the INI settings associated with that hardware.

Please ask questions as it does tend to lead to documentation that benifits many.

ps
the Finisher was often in the past plagued by people who had gotten the idea that it would install drivers - it doesn't  -

We are Now able to offer a redistributable MS tool 'DPinst.exe' which does install drivers... ty ty ty
- this is for people who need a SAD disk
- (since base ver 8.*)

and you could buy a ten pack of better graphics cards on ebay for $5
