Great.

Sticky for the time being as I deem this as pretty useful (plus, we've had more than enough requests for after-installation driver update capability in the BASE!).

Thanks cool
fill free to write your requests. I'll try to do all my best.

1. Create a DPInst.xml file with the following code...


Code:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
  <dpinst>
    <search>
      <subDirectory>D</subDirectory>
    </search>
   <scanHardware/>
   <legacyMode/>
   <promptIfDriverIsNotBetter/>
  </dpinst>

2. Copy the newly created DPInst.xml to the \$OEM$\$1 folder of your m1 source
3. Copy DPInst.exe to the \$OEM$\$1 folder of your m1 source
4. run DPInst.exe

If you want a Quiet install mode, w/o user interface - use   <quietInstall/> switch.

Interesting.

I look forward to trying this on a running system.
Was it written using AutoIt?

It was written using delphi 2007.

Nice to have a "How to" file or a reply to this post.

i.e. Where does the "DP" folder go: c:\   or   c:\windows. Do all your files have to be copied to c: drive etc.

Looks good but tell us how to use it, it would help the forum readers to know these things.

Thanks for your hard work, I look forward to trying it. It will certainly help me out in the future.

My mistake. i`ve forgote to tell "DP" folder is in application directory.

Hi all.


http://keep4u.ru/imgs/s/080428/15/156188faf72558b6e9.jpg

I wrote some small program - Drivers Pack Unpacker & Installer.
It can unpack & install DriverPacks - they can be downloaded from this site.
It means that - you download the driver pack & put it to the dp folder in application directory.
From that point program will take care about unzipping & installing needed drivers.
The Program is fully portable. You can use it from CD,DVD,Flash cards , external drives etc. Starting 2 version utility can unpack&install only needed drivers (by HWID).

Mini FAQ:

1. - Where does the "DP" folder go: c:\   or   c:\windows. Do all your files have to be copied to c: drive etc.?
- "DP" folder is in application directory

2. - Are we to assume this is to be used after a system was installed without DriverPacks slipstreamed?
- you can use it on any x86_32 (64 not yet tested) system.

3. - If so, does your program automatically install drivers for "unknown devices" in device manager?
- Yes. The main principle is "Black Box" system - you don`t know which driver to install (update) & press the button to unpack & install :)
After it finished - you can see what was done in the programs log-section.

4. - The Main driverpacks cab compressed take up 500MB instead of the 1.5GB they consume when extracted, does your program also cab them?
- Right now tested packs consist of 25 driver packs - 533 mb in 7zip . (~3 gb - decompressed size) No, it does not cab them.

5. -  and that the packs must be in 'Your' programs subfolder?
- Only Driver Packs from http://www.driverpacks.net/ are tested. Full tested packs list is above.

6. - it would seem that your program simply extracts the driverpacks and launches the MS program. 700K seems huge for that?
- Yes it`s make that simple work. But my target was to have one GUI interface for all unpackers & installers + detailed log. And Also i need to have choice - which driver to install. One more thing is to save space. Anyway. You can use any other driver installation method. You are free in choice :)
