Search options (Page 64 of 213)

totally understand...

Those files contain info that allows the team to share info about what was done and hopefully by whom without having to read through the whole thread where it is posted . It also makes it easy for one team member to pickup where another had left off...

It also will allow those 'sneakers' to see what the changes were / are
Especially since they don't have access to the testing team forum to view the comments that are posted there ...
that is to say that they are helpful to people like you LOL

Alternate solution: Unpack the nightly read the notes and repack without them. It is a win win solution!

PS
Giving feedback on success or failure of a nightly is considered VERY COOL, and just may earn you testing team status .  BigBrit is my testing team hero - he will almost daily post a HWIDS dump (In code tags! ... Thud.) followed by "It worked perfect!" and that is just about as good as it gets for the packs team and myself!!! It's like winning a game, match or race. Praise and donations are rare at a support forum. The only thing more elusive is help .

It usually impresses me that they were found and used, since it demonstrates resourcefulness. I will often respond with a comment like "He used Search! Thud... Sorry I fell out of my chair!" The nightly server is not a secret, but it is not openly advertised either... I reason to myself if they can find it / them on their own then they are probably bright enough to deal with any issues that may result from using them. Which brings me to another point, we only have a handful of people who work on them, and its not easy to update them. So it takes a while to get them stable enough to release. We prefer to have stable and reliable DriverPacks rather than having up to date ones that cause BSODs or other poor results. We would rather get a report of a missing driver or have a report of an out of date driver than get a report of a crash or corruption.

LOL you were doing so well now i have to thwart you...

Since Nightlies are for testing only no command to remove the text files will be added to the process...

You were going to format it and use the official releases for actual production machines wern't you?
Everyone knows Nightlies are never to be used for production. and official releases don't have .txt files in them

ROFL  have a happy new year!

Thanks for the feed back!

PS that is one of the tip offs that a user is sneaking into the nightly stash

They say something like i get these strange XML and TXT files in systemdrive... WTF?

It's a dead giveaway they are breaking the rules. LOL!

Um... 
have to agree with you that there probably are not any commercial ones...
But lets face it if you own a company and have employees,
have an office with multiple PCs,
then you can and should Buy a top ten AV program. Yes?

for private individuals there are a few for FREE and WITH resident protection like avast

here are some independent av reviews (some free with real time - for personal use)

one I got a big kick out of was this one the 69 worst antivirus scanners LOL

As always, I recommend that everyone should remember to STFW!

PSS Hows that ?

Strange that none of the compatable ids were PCI\VEN_ format...

What about in the Hardware Ids selection?

For my HP NC3163 Fast Ethernet NIC I get

Hardware Ids
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1229&SUBSYS_B1340E11&REV_08
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1229&SUBSYS_B1340E11
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1229&CC_020000
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1229&CC_0200

and

Compatable Ids
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1229&REV_08
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1229
PCI\VEN_8086&CC_020000
PCI\VEN_8086&CC_0200
PCI\VEN_8086
PCI\CC_020000
PCI\CC_0200

but that is on Win2k3 (not r2)

That HWID is not supported in our latest Nightly either...

Will get that put in...

Thanks for providing such good details!

Have a great day and Welcome to DriverPacks!

vmware / virtual box may be a way to get there

did you try this http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/06/3 … and-linux/

one in a millon gives even a dollar... I try to recognise when you are that one in a millon!

Wim is a college student - i remember what it was like when i was in college!

My personal server is a ML530 G2...
They are a very nice series of servers

added code tags to your post 

here is the main idea... A MAC address is supposed to be Hard Coded into the ROM on the device itself...

That is why MAC address were once good for security purposes...
Because they were intended to Not be able to be set from software.
At least that was the original intent, The Theory was no two devices would ever have the same MAC address.
and routers could use this ID for preventing access to networks...

If the MAC address was Hard Coded into the NICs ROM (Unlike an IP address that is alterable from software)
as proposed in the original THEORY the only way to change a MAC address was to get a new NIC...

In the old days Flashing the ROM on a NIC might set a new MAC address...
But in THEORY it still should not have changed
It was intended to be BURNED INTO the HARDWARE Permanently ...
What a great security measure! You could as a network admin POSITIVELY ID a specific PC / NIC (like a drivers license)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_address

"Although intended to be a permanent and globally unique identification, it is possible to change the MAC address on most of today's hardware, an action often referred to as MAC spoofing"

Over the years this really excellent plan was shot full of holes...
First they allowed changing it during a BIOS / ROM flash. Later by Driver and eventually by Registry.
Now making it totaly useless to anyone at all...

So why do you wish to change this totaly useless number?

at this rate i may have it fixed in DriverPacks BASE before i explain how to do a workaround .

I just double checked presetup.cmd .... And I was mistaken!

devpath is run from the CD/DVD it is NOT copied to systemroot like I thought... (embarassed) Sorry!

were all of the other files there? the \D\ folder and the ini files, the finisher, mute, ect?

the problem with runonceex and guirunonce is they don't stop...
the commands are executed one right after the other. Bam, bam, Bam.
there is no waiting for the first command to finish before calling the second or third or forth one.
That was why I was quick to point out that I had not tested it .

It may work as intended if you create and call a script

SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx
REG ADD %KEY%\996 /V 1 /D "%SystemDrive%\MyKTD.cmd"

myKTD.cmd

start /wait copy %SystemDrive%\D\3\pack1 %SystemRoot%\D\
start /wait copy %SystemDrive%\D\3\pack2 %SystemRoot%\D\
start /wait copy %SystemDrive%\Devpath.exe %SystemRoot%\D\
start /wait %SystemDrive%\DPsFnshr.exe
%SystemRoot%\D\Devpath.exe %SystemRoot%\D

in this way you can insure that the commands are executed one after the other, instead of all being called at the same time .

you could add a few lines or call a script from  the presetup.cmd file as an alternate solution
as i said i can think of 100 different ways to pull this off .
