OK i have Fully tested this DPsXtrct-0.1.zip on diffrent setups now pc,vmware,laptop and it works perfect 100% no problems if you choose 1, all or any of the packs

1 small bug i have found is if you install driverpacks using the option to start the driverpack finisher on guirunonce or runonce and select/highlight no drivers in DPXtract and just close the DPXtract. at the end of the install you get a "windows cannot find DPsFnshr.exe" this is because i am sure you know this. when you install driverpacks it mods your WINNT.SIF and adds this:
  command9="%SystemDrive%\DPsFnshr.exe"

so you would need to remove this command if no drivers are selected (i am sure theres an easy fix)

i really cant thank you enough Kal for making this, it is so easy to use,  like you say "drop the files into oem folder, replace presetup.cmd and edit the ini to suit your needs", the ini is very simple and easy to understand and is fully setup ready for the latest driverpacks without any editing, and as you said it does work with 3rd party driverpacks i only had to edit the ini file took around 1 min and it all worked how it should, i really like it being on a 1min timer so its unattended if needed or with a click of the mouse or keyboard the timer stops and you can select what you need... perfect..

a "keep drivers" option would be nice like you said  but is really not essential for me.

i think it would be a great idea if the driverpacks guys could include some kinda option when installing driverpacks just like

Option

Select how to unpack drivers

. Automattic
. Using DriverPack Xtract

and the modded presetup.cmd could get auto copied to the right folder
maybe you guys could expand on this idea and get an it to generate the ini file needed by DPXtract

really nice work anyways for ver0.1 smile i think this will halp a lot of people out and saved me hours of work

WOW KAL fantastic work this is just what we all have been waiting for thank you so much, i am making a new xp right now so i will test this and report back asap. i actually contacted hawk (the first poster) about trying to make this project and we found (after a lot of googling) something called driverpack selector on an unattended xp called LastXP 20

i have been trying to mod/use the driverpack selector thats on lastxp v20, i just acually got it working when i found this post, the driverpack selector on lastxp is amazing, but a little messy to set up, but it does do 3rd party driver packs which i am not sure your version does (downloading yours now  1k a sec wtf) i will put up a mirror when its done.

please please carry on your great work on this project it would be great if we can have a proper official driverpack selector.

here is a screenshot of the dpselector from lastxp ( i can send you the files if you want to take a look at it )

Hi All
Thanks for a great job with the driver packs,
but would it be possible to install the ati drivers without the CCC, (Catalyst Control Center AND the Catalyst Control Panel) !!
I would like to use atitray tools and have no need for either of the control centers and i have had problems lateley with some weird (out of memory errors) when using the c control panel
and the control center is just so HUGE !! and bloated
if its possible to edit anything anywhere to remove the demons from my install

Thank You smile
