We have several team members who are actively testing DriverPacks every day.
Just because we don't have a current release doesn't mean there's no work being done.
All our DriverPacks go through extensive testing before public release to ensure as close to zero errors as possible.

Report it!

Hi

Can please anyone assist in removing the driver solution pack logo in windows 7 after installtions

Maybe you should post in the authors' support forum and find out?

We only support DriverPacks integrated via DriverPacks BASE or with SAD2.  The utility you mention is not ours.

Welcome to DriverPacks.net!
We support DriverPacks and their usage in Windows.
Please post details of what you did to inject DriverPacks into your Windows and how DriverPacks did not work for you.
Specifically we need your HWID list (use the tool linked in my signature), and the log files for the tool you used to integrate DriverPacks into your Windows 7 OS (DISM, SAD, WinToolkit, etc.)
If you didn't use any tools, and are simply looking for information, we have several stickied posts in this section for users like you.

Interesting...The above files have been removed and the link is dead.
Using the below link, looks like RST 12.5 is the current version.

Sir could you please share that part of your code so I can add to mine?  I alreaddy added the others just not that.  Thank you.

There are only two instances and they are in the same section.

FOR %%i IN (3 A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO (DIR %%i: && IF /I EXIST "%D_DPSLocation%\%%i\" (SET "F_Method=1" & GOTO Message2))
ECHO Searching Root folders since DriverPacks were not found in current folder...
FOR %%i IN (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y) DO (
 DIR %%i:
 IF /I EXIST "%%i:\OEM\bin\un7zip.exe" (SET "F_Method=2")
 IF /I EXIST "%%i:\$OEM$\$1\D\" (SET "D_DPSLocation=%%i:\$OEM$\$1" & SET "F_Method=1" & %%i)
 IF "%F_Method%" GEQ "1" GOTO Message2
 )

I'll try and find time to upload the whole package when I get home from work.

Loads of Microsoft books.  I'm sure everyone can find something useful there.

Please read the Read BEFORE you post. link in my signature and upload your HWID list and log files so we can figure out what is going wrong.
Think about this; can we reproduce the scenario which caused your problem by the information you provided?  No.
Please help us to help you.

DriverPacks BASE is only for older Windows (2000, XP, 2003).  For newer Windows you need to use DISM (built-in tool).
Here's a post on how to do it manually.
http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=3716

More info:
http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=4725

I wrote some simple scripts to take care of it all.  They can be found here:
http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=5199

If you want a tool that can hold your hand for the entire process, then check out WinToolkit over at the Wincert forums.
We don't directly support their tool though.
http://www.wincert.net/forum/forum/179-win-toolkit/

Here's a post that describes the graphics packs.
http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=4434
'\S' is for Sound.  Seemed logical at the time.

Actually the latest is in this post: http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic. … 586#p51586

Through a stupid accident on my part, I lost the source code of my working copy.  sad
I'm rebuilding it from v130507.

:: v130627 v3.0 (Erik Hansen)
:: Added 7zip switch -aoa to enable auto-overwrite mode.
:: Removed Win8 leaked build numbers and added Win8.1 preview build number to detection array.
:: Added DIR to CDROM detection array to prevent errors with card readers in system.

Well, the .ini reference for dpms is included in the DriverPacks BASE download. 
We do have an online reference for modifying the dpms and it can be found here: http://driverpacks.net/docs/miscellaneo … assstorage

Just for reference, the .ini is only used to manipulate the txtsetup phase (first blue setup screen) in conjunction with DriverPacks BASE.  It's primary job is to allow DriverPacks BASE to modify the txtsetup.sif file correctly.  It also ensures that the .sys files are named properly (xxxxxxxx.yyy 8.3 method), It has nothing to do with how the "phase 2" portion (T-39 thru T-0 minutes) proceeds.
The .ini is only processed during a normal DriverPacks BASE integration or in tandem with the BartPE plugin.  The .ini is ignored during all phases of install and by DriverPacks Finisher.

Your setup doesn't seem to utilize the updated .ini in favor of it's own.  That may be your problem.

Just to isolate this further, can you do a "normal" DriverPacks BASE integration with a clean XP source and see if that has the same problem in your VM?

Nice project you have at http://www.rmprepusb.com/
smile

Testing within a VM will always have pitfalls with drivers because the hardware is not always presented to the virtual environment in the correct way.
One way to isolate the VM as the source of the problem is to try your build on a live-metal machine using a spare HDD (all other HDD disconnected).
If it works on live-metal but crashes in VM then you know the source of the problem.

In my opinion, VMware is a much better VM than VirtualBox.  I used to use VB exclusively but eventually moved to VMware for speed/compatibility.
When building DriverPacks releases, I always test in VM first but test installs on live-metal as a final check.  To say dpms is "incorrect" is not true, my older tower system had a 2829 HWID and it worked fine with dpms 1209 before I sold it.

You're using DriverPacks in an unsupported way.  We're in uncharted waters here, so be patient with us. smile

Welcome to DriverPacks.
You don't mention which dpms version you're using.

Glad you got it sorted out.
A couple of notes to help you out:
You should remove DP_LAN-RIS_wnt5_x86-32_1011.7z it is not needed (nor desirable).  It's intended specifically for RIS-server deployments (non-desktop builds).

We encourage you to include the following optional Third Party DriverPacks in your build since the DPsFnshr.ini will utilize these only if present.
DP_Graphics_Languages_wnt5_x86-32_1206.7z (only needed for non-English installs)
DP_Graphics_PhysX_wnt5_x86-32_1206.7z (only for matching nvidia hardware)
DP_Runtimes_wnt5_x86-32_1206.7z (only for ATI graphics cards)

Does your SAD2 folder exist on the install media or on the %systemdrive% (C:\D\SAD2\...)???
Please let us know exactly where the SAD2 folder is.

Ahí otra cuestión,

Here another question,

1. SAD2 works in virtualbox?
2. after installing the SAD2 you place an activator of windows? can be the error?

1. SAD will work in virtualbox and vmware, it just won't install any drivers because you're in a virtual environment.
2. Maybe, but setupcomplete.cmd runs in series, meaning one step must finish before moving to the next step.  Something that follows after SAD won't impact SAD.

@ mr. smartepants, have you finished the new sad3 yet?  I have been so busy with college I havent had the time, sorry.  Thought I would touch base and see how it was going along.  Hope you and your family are doing well.  Take care.

Well, I guess I'm done.  I haven't done anything with it for a while.  I haven't done any coding for detecting laptops at all and I don't have a lot of time either.
I really need to find some time to update the first post though, it's way out of date.

I would remove the Third Party DriverPacks and try again. 
It's definitely possible you're being hit with this bug: http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=4446

friend, SAD2 not work, so place it in elsetupcomplete.cmd and nothing

SETUPCOMPLETE.CMD

@echo off
START %systemdrive%\D\SAD2\DP_Install_Tool.cmd /s 

Does your SAD2 folder exist on the install media or on the %systemdrive% (C:\D\SAD2\...)???
If you're installing to a clean hard drive, then the C:\D\ folder won't exist unless you have it injected into the install.wim image or use the $OEM$ folders method: http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.x … f57c0ae2b/

jaylopez2020 wrote:

is possible to choose from the setupcomplete.cmd me choose whether to install DriverPacks SAD2 yes or no?

No.  Setupcomplete.cmd is executed before the user accounts are created.  Also it is executed in a silent method so you cannot see the progress, which is why I output everything to a log file for review later.  Even if I added a "choice" menu, it would not be seen and the install would hang.

I'm sure your problem is in your autoit script, but I don't know enough about autoit to troubleshoot.
