Implemented in \Br0 for DriverPack WLAN 12.02 (in testing)

The direction these recent posts are heading is detracting from the original post.
To answer the question: Yes, I can rip the guts out of the script to enforce x64 installation, but I won't.  It does everything I need it to do and does it safely.
Please create a new thread to discuss the relative merits of the FOG utility.

@andyroo54, well if that's the case than whatever you did to build the sfx is broken.  Don't use it.  I'm still baffled as to why you'd want to convert it to sfx in the first place when you've said it works fine as-is.  CMD-2-EXE utilities often translate the code badly and usually force the code to run in a 32-bit space which may confuse the 64-bit checks.

As an example, on my Intel Q6600 CPU I get the following:
c:\>echo %PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%
AMD64

c:\>echo %PROCESSOR_IDENTIFIER%
Intel64 Family 6 Model 15 Stepping 11, GenuineIntel

That's a great find!
We refer to that type of HWID a "super-generic". 
I'll need to fix that!  Thanks!

OK, the XP drivers are older than the generic Intel ones, but the Win7 drivers are newer.
But, although newer, they're still not a direct replacement for the generic Intel ones because not all HWIDs are represented.
I'll move this to the Win7 area and I'll try and update the packs with both updates.
...moving to Win7 section...

Well why did you post in the NT5 area then?
jmide.inf is from 2006.  I don't think it's needed for Win7.
...moving thread to Win7 area...

OK, I streamlined the code a bit and implemented the native 7-zip extraction.
The command line version of 7-zip doesn't have a pretty progress bar, but it has speed!
Just doing a test extraction between the old un7zip and the native 64-bit 7z.exe shaved 10 seconds off the extraction of the 64-bit audio dp.

I still have not tested LZMA2-compressed DriverPacks yet but we still need to maintain backwards compatibility with older versions of SAD2.

Nice to see you finally made it over here bphlpt!   Welcome to DriverPacks.
The un7zip.exe utility we use was created back in 2010 and doesn't support LZMA2 compression.  It's possible that it may be updated but that is beyond my capability and I don't have the source code.
I suppose I could alter the script code to peek at the host system for 7zip install and if it exists, use the built-in app instead of our older utility.
hmmmm.

Glad to be of service.

On behalf of the entire DriverPacks team, Thank you...and You're welcome!
