All info for all. It works.
I mean, You help, We help You help us.

What works for SYSprep, works in disc install.
I would not have spent my time on it if it doesn't help all.

November will be remembered.

COOL..
Today I did some "Quality control" and reran the tool.
A few dupes had slipped through.
I am Uploading the result now. (it will take approx 40 minutes.)

Hi
it would surprise me if it went without error for all, because most of the work is done by hand.

I just compared..
pruned approx 900 in session 1 (b)
and approx 1000 in session 2 (a+b)
Jeesh.

Hi
I seldom use RunOnceEx, but when I did, I did not have this error.
I always turn QSC ON, tho.

Very strange, that. It refers to I:\ where one would expect a systemdrive to always be C:\

Hi
I see it like this.
Some drivers have generic HWIDs in them.
When a competing 'generic' HWID (without subsys) is also found in newer (but wrong) driver, the 'specific' (subsys info is present) loses out.

OverFlow had a problem with Sound-A in VM-Ware, where a wrong generic would win over a windows native driver.
(A generic for ensonique and creative are same. Ensonique was bought by creative.)
He told me that was fixed in the previous releases.
That was done by a looking at generics. We had just discovered the usefulness of Spotlight utility.
This was how I saw the immense list of duplicates for the first time.

> edit> hehe, I made the same comment. It's amazing to see so few problems reported when there was such a huge list of competing drivers across devices from different manufactors.
In Mass Storage, this would lead to BSOD, and that was where I put most efforts in.
Oh, Nvidia and Intel are at times very confusing. (Intel's 8086 ID is found everywhere in sound as well).

I'll start work on sound A soon.
I'll first look at competing generic ID's.
------

I started looking at sound A by its own sweet self..
There are competing generic in Nvidia and Via vinyl.
I disabled the duplicated generic HWIDs in both.
The generic left in A have no duplicates in A.
(I know B will have competing generic)

There are a LOT of duplicate subsys all over realtek drivers and Via.
(VIA is easy to spot in the realtek INFs, but realtek do have unique HWIDs for VIA.. That's the strangest part..).
The version INFo across these vendors is of little help.
I think I'll leave that alone for now.

There are a LOT of duplicate subsys across Nvidia and realtek.
Realtek is newer by more than a year.. So I disabled the nvidia duplicated subsys.

I figure there are a few drivers in sound A which make drivers in B completely obsolete.

Hi
it is in the test pack for sound_b

Hi,
I am working on it now, and will make the addition..

Please change topic title to [IMPL]

Hi
it almost got forgotten.
I am looking at it now.

Hi,

link to older sound B nightly removed.
Sound B, initial notes.
Some drivers have more than one INF file.
A few of those INF files are obsolete so they were deleted.

These INF files were removed
S\A aliOEM8T removed
M\1 MaRevo.inf removed
SM\E (smwdmCH5.inf removed)
SM\F\1 (smwdmCH4.inf REMOVED)
S\T\5 (MXR6Fire.INF removed)

Some drivers were completely covered by other (same or newer) drivers, and were removed.
I removed
SM\D\1
SM\G\2
SM\G\4
SM\G\5
SM\G\6
SM\H\1
SM\Z\3
S\S   (driver in root removed)
S\S\T
T\1
T\5 (and INI section) removed

INF "pruning".
More than fifty INF files have had PCI HWIDs pruned from them.
I made notes, and also have my Excell worksheets.
A rough count tells me I pruned about 900 duplicated HWIDs out of the pack.
