Got my "Pro Drupal Development" book this Christmas.  Man, this stuff isn't for the faint of heart.

I'm taking a peek at the driver to if there's anything unusual about it.  I've tested integrating mass storage text mode in RIS images by way of AutoImage quite a few times with no problems.  As far as the installation of a system via RIS goes, the only experience I really have is with Dell OptiPlex 755 desktops (and it works fine).

Very well.  The issue should be fixed.  I've done a bit of testing and all seems in order.  I hope everything is going well for you and your family.

The problem has nothing to do with how BASE detects anything.  Rather BASE wasn't looking where the source was at all while being executed in API mode.  With all of the changes we had made, this omission of one line of code is so far the only bug we've come across.  The only reason I posted any response here was so that nobody would go looking for a problem that doesn't exist.

I've tested my application with the fix and it (along with BASE) work as they should.

I explained to you that the problem will be fixed.  I even gave you two temporary solutions, which I tested successfully, until a bug fix is released.  Sending people here on a wild goose chase is only wasting their time.  Now I have fixed the issue in AutoImage, but Waldo2k2 and I implementing a couple of other things before release.  If you can possibly hold out for another day or two, your issue will be resolved.

You need to have a seperate VirtualBox DP and then you can't use both the VMware and the VirtualBox DP with the same install source.  I've run into all sorts of conflicts.

I haven't done this all that often, but I've found that entering a hwid into Google almost always returns an accurate result.

I don't think that this is likely to happen.  At least not a successful implementation anyway.  Bluetooth device support is completely fubar in Windows and it seems like everyone is blame.

First, I have found that if you want to get the most troublefree install, you should remove Windows built in Bluetooth support with nLite.

Second, one of the more common Bluetooth stacks out there is Widcomm.  Their installation routine(s) seem to be bound to specific BT adapters.  I have several BT USB adapters and the install routine for each will not work with any of the others - even though they all use a Widcomm stack.

So unfortunately it boils down to this - you could make a DP that contains the .inf, .sys, and .cat files for all known adapters.  But it would do much good as you need the full client software for pairing devices, setting security, etc.  Or if you somehow could make a DP that contained all of the client software, you'd have a heck of a time getting the different install routines to fire off unattended and working properly.  Not to mention how morbidly obese the DP would be.

I can confirm that this driver works with Dell Optiplex 755.  I manually swapped in the files of this new driver, replacing v7.6, and have been using it successfully.

I'm sorry Jaak, I thought that I had changed this topic title already hmm

And the implementation works 100%.  Thank you!

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_2445 (generic) is in c-media, sigmatel and analog devices.

I've had plenty of experiences with Sigmatel and SoundMAX detecting as C-Media.  I guess I know why now tongue

Also I don't think that I've ever even seen a computer with a C-Media sound chip.

I wasn't sure what the current situation was..  meaning add the entire driver package vs. just add the hwid to a driver already included.

Thanks! smile

For some reason this is detecting as a Sigmatel when it is in fact a SoundMAX.  Using the driver located in SM\I\2 works.

I found that forcing a driver install for model Rage 128 Pro 4XL with the driver found in A\3 got everything working just fine.  Perhaps the addition of the hwid is possible?

This request is for inclusion in the DriverPack Chipset.

This is a component found on systems with Intel's Q35 Express chipset (ex: Dell OptiPlex 755).  The download page from Dell can be found here.

I isolated the .INF and .CAT files and tested them in a custom DP and they work fine.  If needed I also recompressed the entire install routine here.

I don't know if this is a bad release or what, being that it's RealTek we're talking about I wouldn't be surprised, but this version of drivers refuses to work properly on any Intel mobo with RealTek HD that I have at work.  The older version that's in the current DP works just fine however.

Updated DP Virutal

MD5: 759E4A89D9DD3FE52A9E7FD1DC5A7CA3

Inside the 3rd party DriverPacks is a txt file with a list of supported devices and which directories they correspond to.

Not for executing an outside process.

Indeed I discovered this over the weekend.  Must not have been paying attention when WatchDSP.exe was removed from the setup.  Unfortunately with dspdsblr.exe I still get an open cmd window.  So I'll probably put WatchDSP.exe back in AutoImage's package.

I can't believe his links are still working in post #1.  Man, it's been over two years now.  Well I snagged the debug version of the fake setup.exe and this time I'm not losing it.

Yes it was posted in post #1 of Pyron's now famous thread.  Unfortunately I think that it's been gone for quite some time now sad

Note to self - always keep everything.

Holy smokes buddy!  Good to see you're still around.  I hope your return isn't temporary and welcome back.
