First of all sorry for my ignorance! but I'm nearly there
Everything works fine using drivers.7z but if I have already extracted manually the drives to ..\dp the program does not work on pressing button "SearchbyHWIDS" requests "Press "show driver packs" button first or add driver pack files to dp folder" It seems to me that it is only looking for packed drivers and not upacked drivers which already exist!
Again sorry for my misunderstanding
Smbs
If you want to work with unpacked drivers, then put them to %windir%dp_wsed folder. Only 7zip files need to be copied to the DP folder.
only 7z files presenting in available DP list (thanks ZaV)
- it means that only 7zip files , from all available files in driver packs directory, will be added to the list of DP. It is useful then you are working with OEMDRV (or any other) folder. And this is only cosmetic fix.
If you working from CD/DVD & wants to work with relative paths. pls use dp_wsed.ini.rel template. Just rename it to the dp_wsed.ini , and change CMDPackDir=..\OEMDRV\ parameter to the folder you need.
OOOOOh --I think I get it---from drivers.7z on cd/dvd only required drivers for specific installation are extracted to temporary working directory and from there all required drivers are installed ---is my understanding correct??
Not only from CD/DVD. You can do manual installation by HWIDs.
Added new feature - search-unpack & install drivers by HWID-s.
1.Select DP for search in.
2.Go to HWID - page .
3.Press Search by HWIDs
4.Select HWID to install & press Install By HWIDs.
Also you can use DPInstaller_WSED.exe /unth - this parameter will start Unattended installation of DP by HWIDs
Hope it will help you & thanks for feedback.
NEW VERSION
Error fixing version.Hope this is final beta. Working with relative paths fully tested.
here is example of ini-file

RecreateIni=no
Start From=CD
AppMainPath=..\Dp_INST\DPInstaller_WSED.exe
Workdir=%WINDIR%\dp_wsed\
Windir=%WINDIR%

;OEMDRV here is just example, name of dirrectory can be any
[DP_Options]
DPExternal=no
DPExternalDir=..\OEMDRV\
SelectDPDir=no
[Automation]
AutoDPInstall=No
the structure of CD/DVD can be like this
I386\
Dp_INST\
- DPInstaller_WSED.exe
- dp_wsed.ini
- DPINST.exe
- all other files from Drivers Pack Unpacker & Installer app`s dir
OEMDRV\
- driver packages

Hi,kenedy
Thanks for your app . I`ll test it . But starting 2 version utility can unpack&install only needed drivers (by HWIDs). It means what our app`s don`t have major differences .

Only changed files 305 ?? Relize20109beta4.7z
Then, I went onto the CD and ran "clean.cmd" and got "Access is denied." for many of the files it was trying to delete. I then copied the "clean.cmd" to my desktop to see if I could resolve this and I did. To resolve the issue, I added a switch to the "del" command. Here is what the working version I have looks like for that command:
del /s /q /f %WinDir%\dp_wsed > %WinDir%\temp\cln
I added the "/f" switch (without the quotes). What this switch does is force the deletion of read-only files. I saved "clean.cmd" after making this change and then ran it. When I ran it, everything worked perfectly.
hmm... I`ve meet with this one time while deleting 4.7 gb drivers & don`t pay attention. Thanks for feedback i`ve add ''F'' switch to the clean.cmd script.
WsnoW - Thanks. I will also give this a try. Does the method your talking about for running from CD/DVD perform automatic installation when the EXE file is run? If not, how do I do that?
Run application , select DP to unpack & install them. Or U can try to use command line switches for unnattended mode:
DPInstaller_WSED.exe /untd - this parametr will start Unattended instalation of DP
DPInstaller_WSED.exe /unth - this parametr will start Unattended instalation of DP by HWIDs
I was wondering how I could set this up to run off of CD/DVD. Thanks in advance.
Simple.Burn application with zipped DP-s but without dp_wsed.ini file to CD/DVD & it will work.

I consider you part of the team and i value your work and complimentary contributions to our project.
Please avail yourself of our resources. I don't think, given the small size of your app, that it will present a problem short or long term.
Jeff
PS if you would like access to the testing team forum, just say the word, I will give you that too.
Jeff,
thanks a lot for your paid attention to my small project. But can you tell me how can I reach ftp, because then I try to use connection info from here - it tells me Wrong password.
Regarding accessing testing team. I`m afraid that I can't be able to pay much attention. Because of my current job. Anyway am reachable here & on e-mail.

Ok. But for me rapidshare is a simplest way to share files.

Xeon3D wrote:Well... I don't think you need to extract only the needed drivers, (as it should be a pain in the butt to code that). Maybe just:
1- Find HW ID's
2- Find the drivers for the HW ID's (they should already be extracted)
3- Install Drivers.
The concept actually is quite similar to what Unknown Devices by Halfdone Development does, but it lacks the DP compatibility and the Installation bits. Maybe that's why it's called "Halfdone"... 
Right now i`m testing the new version , which is unpacking only needed drivers If all be ok , soon i`ll releze it.
Oh, and btw if you need an extra host, I'd love to help
thanks . At this stage i think share servers are enough . May be i`m not right.
But right now & don`t have much time to realise it.
i meant realize it.
Xeon3D,
thanks for your big post
My question is, do I have to put them compressed or can I uncompress all of them and it'll work?
- You can use compressed & uncompressed DP. Then they are comressed use Unpack button & then Install . If you have uncompressed - use Change DP location & then Install.
By the way - small How to use.
1. Put 7zipped Driver Packs (DP) - to the DP folder (or somethere else unpacked drivers).
2. Run app & select the DP or Unpacked drivers location.
3. Then they are comressed use Unpack button & then Install . If you have uncompressed - use Change DP location & then Install.
4. And see what is going on in the app log.
5. Delete dp - if u don`t plan to use them.
I clicked extract and it's extracting, but I don't know where to.
Drivers are extracting to the %windir%dp_wsed folder.
I also think about simple concept .
Find devices
Extract needed drivers
Install them.
But right now & don`t have much time to realise it.
Thanks again for pushing me

It looks like this can be made to install drivers from the DVD if one uses the CDDRIVE oem path.
Yes, you are right. Users asked me to give them choice there to store driver packs. Right now application have problems to work thru CD/DVD - because it can`t write settings to the ini file directly on CD/DVD . I`ll fix this today.
