Ooh, nice tip Rick!  I wonder if pnputil can be scripted to do this unattendedly?

That's alright.  I uploaded the HID Third Party DriverPack version 1007.

Implemented in DriverPack LAN 1007.
Thank you!

Implemented 06/25/2010,1.0.0.43 into DriverPack LAN 1007.

How in the h*ll did this one post get over 94 thousand views!  People must think this is important.
The driver in DriverPack LAN \NV3 is the same as the one in the first post EXCEPT that the file in the first post has driver-signing intact.
I'll restore the files from the first post back into NV3 but I've kept the modified .inf files tucked away in NV3.7z for safe keeping. wink

Hello?  Does this work?
I'm guessing no news is good news.  Unstickied and marked as "solved".

Implementing 15.4.1 in DriverPack LAN 1007

OK. I'm adding the Dell drivers to the new DriverPack LAN 1007 I'm working on now.  Dell adds a few specific HWIDs (including yours).  These drivers are designed for normal XP-installs, so it's possible that they will still fail in a PE or RIS environment.
Stand by for a test pack...

I typically only add mass storage to the boot.wim and then chipset, mass storage, LAN, & WLAN to the install.wim for this very reason.  Windows Update will typically download whatever else is needed for that system.  Another option is to create a script to run at first logon to purge the %windir%\system32\driverstore\* directory.
I haven't played with dpinst in Win7 but I'm certain we can tailor our SAD command script to work in both Vista/Win7.

I'll look into it.
I wouldn't say they're very popular.  I've never heard of that model and it's all the way at the bottom of Logitech's support page which indicates it's also very old.

We already have that driver in the hands of our testing team.
We'll release it when it's ready. wink

line 430 of CX_95952.INF it lists VEN_1002&DEV_7183 and its remarked. If it wasn't remarked it would work and install the driver correctly as all the files seem to be there.

I'm looking at it right now and that HWID is NOT "remarked", commented, or hidden in any way in CX_95952.inf.  CX_95952.inf in DriverPack Graphics C 1005 is signed by ATI and unaltered by us.  If it's remarked, then someone else did that.  CX_76825.inf is heavily altered by me and is from a different driver entirely.  That HWID is supposed to be blocked in CX_76825.inf.
I suggest you redownload DriverPack Graphics C 1005 and check for yourself.
It's refreshing to have a support "call" from someone who knows the material!  Instead of the usual "Hey dude your stuff is broke, fix it" posts. wink
So you'll understand how dpinst will do a recursive search for a HWID through each .inf and "rank" any possible matches.  An ideal match would be a total VEN_*&DEV_*&SUBSYS_*&REV_* match with a signed driver (if available).  Those are rare, so the next ideal match would be VEN_*&DEV_*&SUBSYS_* and then VEN_*&DEV_* (we term that "generic") with the last choice being VEN_* (a "Super-generic").
I haven't had the best of luck using SAD (which calls dpinst) on ATI hardware.  Their drivers just do not react very well to that environment.  The recommended install method is direct integration into the OS source.

I am using DPINST to install the NT5 Graphics 1005 driver pack on a Dell Optiplex 745.

Your statement confuses me.  Are you saying you use a SAD disc, or you try to use dpinst.exe on it's own to install drivers?

No need to upload drivers anywhere, your HWID is already supported in the current release of DriverPack Graphics C.
If it's not being detected, then you are doing something wrong.
Please tell us exactly what you are doing to install the drivers? on what OS?  Log files too please?

Yeah, that's true.  The batch file can't delete a file in use.
The inst_upd.cmd file needs to have a line added to it (taskkill):

ping 127.0.0.1 /n 15
taskkill /f /im dps_base.exe
del /f /q DPs_BASE.exe
"%insert_variable_location_here%\DPs_BASE_1006.exe" x -y -aoa -o"%insert_variable_location_here%"
del /f /q DPs_BASE_1006.exe
ping 127.0.0.1 /n 5
DPs_BASE.exe
del %0

Instructions are 4 posts above yours. wink

To be honest, I haven't tried it.
I'll give it a shot and see what happens though.

No official Intel download yet, but the station-drivers v9.6.4.1002 link is here: http://www.station-drivers.com/page/intel%20raid.htm
We'll have to keep an eye out for an official link.

IIRC, the older version is kept around because not all chips support the new technology (ICH5 & 6).

Sounds interesting.
Any info on what versions of Windows it works with?  Screenshots?
Thank you for your contribution!

910 was the previous working one.  Maybe it should stay.
I don't have any bluetooth devices (except my phone), so I can't test anything.

I just want to point out that I haven't had this problem in a long time.
But my HWID is PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2922&SUBSYS_B0051458&REV_02
Which is an ICH9R SATA controller.  Very different from the one in the first post.
