Thanks everybody for the code!

@jaws1975 : just use {$APPTYPE CONSOLE}

I really need to learn Windows API to leave Delphi and just code in plain old C

Oh, my bad, I thought setup.exe was launched from CD, not from %SystemRoot%... In that case, ok, I can't do anything

Thanks for your answer,
Kal

Wow you seem to have made a good job jaws, congrat !

Here is my source, I didn't have time to add functions you were requesting, but feel free to do so :
RapidShare |ADrive

That would be good to merge our work and do only one DriverPacks extprctor.

Hi jaws1975,

I will publish the code of my DriverPacks extractor. I just wait to be back from vacation (27th July) and cleanup the code. Maybe you should wait a bit and modify the code I will publish, avoiding to get 2 differents versions doing the same thing.

Kal

Sure, I will publish the source code when I'll be back from vacation. I will cleanup the code and put GPL header. But, IF it becomes a part of DP base, maybe you can let it in Delphi and I'll do the updates needed
Well, we're not yet at this stage, I don't care if it's written in Delphi or AutoIt, I'm just afraid that some functions are not avalaible in AutoIt. I used Delphi because I couldn't find a great gui builder for AutoIt.

Well, as sT0n3r pointed it out, if we remove the finisher, then we will have an error when RunOnceEx/GuiRunOnce/WPI will launch it becomes it won't be present in %SystemDrive%. One solution would be to launch finisher from a .cmd, something like that :

DPsFnshr.cmd

@echo off

:: Run DriverPack finisher ...
IF EXIST "%SystemDrive%\DPsFnshr.exe" start "DPsFnshr" /wait "%SystemDrive%\DPsFnshr.exe"

del /Q "%SystemDrive%\DPsFnshr.cmd"

Well, maybe my explications was confused, but DriverPacks Extractor doesn't convert to 8.3 format. I just say that when someone use a 3rd party DriverPacks, he needs to put it in OEM folder in 8.3 format and modify DPsXtrct.ini.

Thank you
To become popular, maybe we need to move this thread to a place where there's more visitors, or make an announcement or something like that. I don't mind if it's popular or not, I just made this to suit my needs and fill request from others in the thread.

@sT0n3r:
I'm really glad that it worked like a charm for you! It's good news. The bug you found will be solved by the trick I explained above. But it will requires extra files edit...

I will add the Keep The Drivers option when I'll be back

To conclude, Sardena is bellisima

Cheers,
Kal

Hi sT0n3r!

At least, someone posts to this topic
I'm glad that you like it, and I'm gonna include some changes that you suggest. Unfortunaly, I'm currently on vacation, I'll be back 27th July. So I can code quickly, but I can't test : I just have my laptop.

Well, my program does support any DriverPacks : official & 3rd party. You just need to put the DriverPack in the same directory as DPsXtrct.exe, in 8.3 name format. Then, you give a name for this DriverPack in DPsXtrct.ini, as explained above.

I want to add an option that "DriverPack selector" has : Keed The Drivers. For this, my program needs to edit DPsFnshr.ini when it's copied to %SystemDrive%, and modify "KTD" entry. To be able to do this, DPsFnshr.ini needs to be copied by my program, not by presetup.cmd. So we'll need to modify presetup.cmd to skip the copy of DPsFnshr.ini file. If my DriverPack Extractor becomes an official part of this project, then presetup.cmd won't need extra edits and DPsFnshr.ini will be generated automatically with official DriverPacks names.

Cheer,
Kal

I tested the latest nightly.  G_A 8.06Gdoesn't work with Geforece GO 6200 :

Troubles appeared with GA 8.02 release (black screen).

Kal

Well, nobody is interested anymore ?

Anyway, I'm going on vacation for three weeks Sunday, so if someone want to test it, here is it :
http://kalxp.free.fr/Addons/DPsXtrct-0.1.zip
Mirror (Thanks to sT0n3r)

It's multilingual : French & English supported. System language is detected at run time.

Screenshot:

I added a function to see supported devices.

DPsXtrct.ini sections :
[names] : File names associated to DriverPacks names

[names]
DPC803.7z=DriverPack Chipset 8.03
DPCP804.7z=DriverPack CPU 8.04

[checked] : pre-defined value if you want a driverpack to be checked or not. If no entry, default value is True :

[checked] 
DPGA710.7z=false

Modified presetup.cmd included.

Just put DPSDEVS.HLP DPsXtrct.exe DPsXtrct.ini in OEM folder and replace presetup.cmd in I386 by the one in zip file.

Cheers!

Ok it seems to work like a charm! I modified a bit the GUI to show file names. Here is a screenshot on a real install through vmware :

In the futur, I could add some options to such as enabling ATI Catalyst Control Panel for DriverPacks Graphics A...

If someone is interested in this software, I will post the binaries and source under GPL.

Cheers!

I'm glad that you agree on this feature. I rent a book at library to learn Delphi. As I'm already an exprienced developper, it shouldn't take a lot of time for me to learn this new language. I'll try to write a GUI with these features :
- Lists all DriverPacks found in a directory with the possibility to extract them or net
- Set a timer that will end the application of no user activity is detected. In that case, all DriverPacks found will be extracted.

Cheers,
Kal
