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 wink. 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 big_smile...
that is to say that they are helpful to people like you LOL wink

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 wink.  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 wink.

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... big_smile 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. wink 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 We would rather get a report of a missing driver or have a report of an out of date driver than get a report of a crash or corruption.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 wink

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 wink

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!

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

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)

Did you mean the \D\L\B3\BXVBD.INF file contained in this .7z pack?

Yes

- what is the portion of the HWID string I have to search for in this bxvbd.inf file?
In the DP_LAN_wnt5_x86-32_90904.7z pack version of this file I can find only the generic string

All you need is the generic string...
In device manager go to device properties and select the details tab...
Select "Compatible Ids" from the drop down...
You do see  the generic ID pci\ven_14e4&dev_164c included in the compatable list?
That means the driver does match / is compatable with the device wink

ef wrote:

while in the downloadable HP version of that file I can find both

%NC373i_desc% = NC373i_inst_x86, pci\ven_14e4&dev_164c&subsys_7038103c

and

%NC373T_desc% = NC373T_inst_x86, pci\ven_14e4&dev_164c&subsys_7037103c

That driver is also a match... if you were in windows (which we are not) it would be prefered to the generic match.

I think i need to get one of my buddies from the UBCD4Win team in on this.
I belive we need some registry entries added to your build to make this fly wink

Thanks for the feedback... It makes the plugin(s) better for everyone!!!

PS i was not aware that 2k3 R2 was supported... have you tried a build with just regular 2k3 (or XP)?

can you find these lines?

nt5\BXVBD.INF=20,,1
wnt5\BXVBDX.SYS=4,,1

that HWID is actually for a Broadcom NIC... HP had to get it from somewhere wink

And is included in the pack you are using, in folder
DriverPacks\DP_LAN_wnt5_x86-32_90904\D\L\B3\BXVBD.INF

can you verify the md5 sum for that pack is E28C281D8933772E8E3BB9B3C62BF9C5 ?



I suspect that there could also be some missing registry entries that may be required to allow it to work properly.

Woo Hoo!!! 

Hey all you DriverPacks noobs out there - Look at the posts above. It's a perfect ten!!!

I will let Major take a crack at it first since he has been working the sound packs...
I'll jump in if needed!

Happy New year RedWine!
Jeff

PS since you seem to be using all the test packs anyway and obviously can provide excellent feedback. I have added you to the testing team so at least you can see what is going on with them. (there is a previously hidden forum that is now visible to you.) If you are going to use them you should be in the loop. Please remember test packs or nightlies as we call them are for testing purposes only - not for production - if they were fit for use by the public then we would have released them wink

Welcome to the testing team... Grab you a user bar!

PSS did you try installing with the official releases of sound?
Major is still learning the ropes, and the sound packs are a real bear to get right... even for our most veteran pack team members.

@All - Please try to stick to the official releases, or at least our RC versions, for production machines!

I am not aware of any specific issue...
if you tried the original drivers from them and they failed too then it may be a hardware conflict that only exists on that specific machine or the drivers you found and the ones in the pack have the same issue wink

Thanks for reporting and agian i am sorry it toook me solong to respond to your issue!

Always Happy to help one of our generous donors!

Sorry I did not respond right away...

please post your DPs_BASE.log,
the HWIDs tool in my signature helps to post your HWIDs. (I do see them included above wink)

Code tags are always appreciated too...
They keep the posts / threads from getting too long wink
I added them to your post above to demonstrate.
They were not absolutely neccessary but they will be for your DPs_BASE.log wink
Hint: If you edit your post you can see how that is done wink
Hint: DriverPacks BASE archives old logs in \DP_Base-Install-Folder\LogFiles\
You're looking for one of the larger ones, and they should be dated;)

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... wink

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 wink
It was intended to be BURNED INTO the HARDWARE Permanently big_smile...
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?

PS please note that other than providing your HWIDs, (Kudos to you for that!!! big_smile smile)
you have duplicated all the same omission of key detail mistakes.
Put another way, you have shown the same blatant disregard of "Read BEFORE you post", (rules and guidelines rule #0)
PLUS not searching.  roll wink tongue

I think your fix is the same fix as his,
but I can't be absolutely sure because you have provided insufficient details.

I hope and sincerely believe you will find the same fix applies to your request,
if not (or even if so) please provide the rest of the required info wink.
[OS; type, version, language, SP level.
DriverPacks; DriverPacks BASE version, DriverPacks  used and their versions.

perhaps you are attacking the problem from the wrong angle...

many NICs allow you to SET the mac address
sometimes this may actually require flashing the rom. wink

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 wink.

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 wink.


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

it will only be at %SystemRoot% AFTER presetup.cmd runs, and will only be there until the finisher runs.  In my example above the file is copied during that time frame wink.

Yes it will always be in the OEM\bin folder for an m2 install.
It is a little harder to locate there because you may not know in advance what driver letter the ODD will be assigned, so it requires the extra code to perform a search of some kind... wink.
