Well, that's sad; no pun intended.
Avira flags that as 'ADWARE/Adware.Gen'

This is not a detection from the latest Avira VDF update, though.
Maybe after update, no problem, perhaps?
I do see that they sent me an exe instead of the rar file i wanted.
Damn downloaders.  I did clear the checkbox to avoid the DLM.  Oh, yeah. JS.  Blast.

Maybe that wasn't a false positive concerning the download (mis)manager.   hmm
Gotta give that one a try on VirusTotal, etc.

2/37 scanners - Dr.Web & Fortinet call it a 'malicious site' in Virus Total
Dr.Web URL category:  Known infection source

The downloaded file analysis is perhaps more revealing:  https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/a428 … 365470483/
There, 8/46 scanners detected the 'downloader' as malware.

Anubis is a little more verbose than i can follow:  http://anubis.iseclab.org/?action=resul … format=pdf
The DLM does appear to rely upon IE.

The rar file is clean, of course.

That's hilarious!  No Terms exist.  Even with JavaTheHutScript. (ho, ho, ho ho!)

Is there still no interest in the NT5 "Monitor" 3rdParty DriverPack "DP_Displays_wnt5_x86-32_1109081"?

   40MB compressed, 200MB uncompressed, 13036 files, 263 folders.
changelog/contents --> http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic. … 838#p44838

DP_Displays_wnt5-x86-32 Notes:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- If Windows can autodetect your display over VGA with the AC cord removed from the display, then all 15 lines should have conductivity within the cable

- If you are connecting your Display over a VGA cable and Windows cannot autodetect your display, the cable may not have conductivity through pins 12 & 15

- If you are using an older KVM, the I2C communication may not properly pass through pins 12 & 15 & you may experience similar symptoms as the previous.

- If you have ruled out the previous cases and Windows still cannot autodetect your display, your display might have a bad EDID chip, or the video card
   and display may use incompatible voltages; this could prove disasterous for the EDID EEPROM within the display.

- If your Display is sRGB compatible, you need no profile associated (maybe use Windows' built-in sRGB profile)

- If you are removing a display and you have removed the ghost driver from device manager, the registry entries may still remain.  Navigate to
   "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\DISPLAY" to manually remove the relevant keys.

- If you intend to use EDID overrides for HDMI_v1.3 passthru of 3D video (HDMI_v1.4), WHQL status is void if the .Inf is modified; use .Reg files instead.

- A copy of your display's EDID will exist (as long as Windows can autodetect) within the individual "Device Parameters".

- If the key "Control" exists alongside the "Device Parameters", your display (& cable) likely support DDC/CI

You've even had the latest USB 3.0 drivers included in the Chipset pack that you are developing!

I know that Search in this forum kind of sucks for me imho, yet that is because the syntax is unknown to me.


Windows Eight packs do seem somewhat at issue in general though, especially on the main pages.
  If it were more prominently accessible, that would likely cause membership to increase.

...updated in first post.

Don't forget to get the corresponding DP_Chipset to integrate with.
  Also, i've updated the known & unconfirmed issues in both MS & Chipset.

In addition, starting this month, i've edited the DriverPack.ini in Chenall's D-P-M-S.iso to conform with his style of modification.

This release candidate (1304rc2) imports most of the USB 3.0 drivers from DP_Chipset_wnt5-x86_1304r2.

Damnation deserves the lion's share of the credit for that.

They are enabled in the DP_MassStorage Ini to allow textmode support for installations from USB 3.0 media attached to a bootable USB 3.0 Controller.  Does it work at USB 3.0 speeds?  I don't know.  Tell us.

Thank you, Damnation!  This one's for you.  smile

"Is there anyone that could advise me to not install a pack or driver that could crash the system ?"

I can think of a couple.

For starters, how about using the x64 version of DP_Chipset, not "DP_Chipset_wnt6-x86_1212".
"DP_AMDfilter_wnt6-x64_1110" should only be used on AMD systems as it does cause non-AMD systems issues.  One could install it post-Setup for those systems specifically requiring it.  (Use SAD2)

Now for some less crucial ideas.
IIRC, "DP_CardReaders_wnt6-x64_11041" was merged with Chipset &/or DP_Misc long ago.
"DP_Gaming_wnt6-x64_812" may have been merged with DP_Touchpad_Mouse.  I am not certain, though.
"DP_Monitors_wnt6-x64_911" should be avoided like the plague.  Simply set your Color Profile to sRGB both in windows and your Display if it supports it.
"DP_Webcam_wnt6-x64_1103" could be installed post-Setup. (again, use SAD2)

  It works on my machine with the same MassStorage controller (8086:27C3) using RST v11.2.0.1006.

BartPE should work.  Please confirm, abramoff.
This should be a much better solution than using DP_MassStorage_wnt5-x86_901

oh, right.  "native" drivers being those already included in the source, whether it be W2k, XP or W2k3.
I have those posts by Jaak at my fingertips and will double-check.  Thank you.  (MegaSR, iaStor, or VEN_8086&DEV_27C3 not included in source)

well, both MegaSR (v15) & iaStor.sys (v11.2-WHQL'ed for NT5.1, 5.2, etc.) have the HWIDs VEN_8086&DEV_27C3.  Considering the fact that MegaSR is WHQL'ed for w2k3 at minimum, and in consideration of setup's preferences, could the fact that i've selected it as textmode driver for XP be causing problems?

I must be confused about the driver preferences of textmode Windows Setup.  Please hit me over the head with it.  tongue

This is at least the third occurrence i've noted where a Raid or Ahci driver described with Subsys ID's are incorrectly used in preference over a desired textmode driver described by CC_010x.
Why The Fail?

Quoted from MegaSR_aka_ESRT2_Windows_v.15.00.0811.2012_Readme.TXT
"===================
Package Information
===================
Driver Version = 15.00.0811.2012
OS supported = Microsoft* Windows* Server 2012 (x64), Windows* 8 (x86 & x64), Windows* 2008R2 (x64), Windows* 7 (x86 & x64), Windows* 2008 (x86 & x64), Windows* Vista (x86 & x64), Windows* 2003 (x86 & x64), and Windows* XP (x86 & x64).

These drivers are WHQL certified, and all required .cat files for installation are included in the appropriate directories. "

It seems untrue, the part about Windows XP driver being WHQL certified.  Have i selected an incorrect or outdated package?

  I'd simply move such drivers to avoid conflict, yet wouldn't moving these cause MegaSR installs to fail in the same manner?  I have no MegaSR HW to test that hypothesis so if somebody does that is willing to test, please reply.


One other oddball i've noted concerning installing to an AHCI controller.  That is, it works on an ICH8M only when i use a drive that supports max.  SATA-I, not SATA-II.   Why The Fail?  To know it is that i have failed to thusfar.  Fernanado has previously recommended a different driver for ICH8R & M textmode.  Will give v10.1.0.1008 a try later yet leave such change for a future MS pack.

It's MegaSR at a minimum.  It is a certainty that this is indeed a "MegaPITA".

  Fixing this would require a new beta process, i believe.  Also, a new opportunity to simplify folders and be more compliant with Chenall's <D.P.M.S.iso> included script for further WinSetupFromUSB support, adding USB3 to textmode too, as Damnation long ago requested.

MegaSR is v15 & iaStor at best is v11.2.  Having MegaSR in a folder with a greater weighting alphabetically could be a source of the MegaSR & earlier the MegaIDE interferences.

  What are your thoughts, OverFlow?  Does this indicate how i was wrong to label this deviant behavior by Windows textmode as a DP_BASE bug?

How else could any of this be possible?

  I wish i could remember which post it was that mr_smartepants detailed the order and certification levels which NT5 prefers it's drivers.  Please refresh my memory.  Search hasn't helped so far.

  AHCI works well on the same board utilizing iaStor7.sys during setup.

Is this more evidence of that long-ago proposed bug in DP_BASE by candles?

skip_if_OS seems effective.

For note:  The machine i received had visibly bad caps in both the mobo & P/S (not so visibly).

Then it would appear that another driver could be interfering.
  How that is, i am not yet knowing.
   (similar to http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic. … 397#p49397??)  hmm

  There are a number of drivers that use the Vendor/Device combination of PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C3.
  They exist as I\iastor, I1\iastor, I2\iastor, I3\iastor, I6\iastor, I7\iastor, L\MegaSR.inf and MI\MegaIDE.inf

There are fewer drivers that use the HWID of PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C3&CC_0104.
  They are in the folders I, I1, I2, I3, I6 and I7.

There are no drivers in the DP that use your Subsys ID.  (PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27C3&SUBSYS_26041043)

I assume that a W2k3 unmodified install disc, then integrated with Chipset & MassStorage DriverPacks would fail too.
It would be interesting to note which ______.sys file would be shown in the textmode partitioning screen (if at all).

Be data-safe.  Use a spare drive for testing if you decide to.  One drive set as JBOD in MatrixStorageBIOS
                                        Make certain Optical drive is not on a RAID controller.  Remove other drives & Note order/conn.
Also, does AHCI work?  That's a different HWID, yet may require the same driver for your 5.0 RAID ROM.

I note that you said that v10.11 had no STOP, yet partition inaccessible.  That should offer some clues.

  I will research to understand more.
