I am having the same problem with the "Could not find settings file" error.
Here is my DPsFnshr.log file:
2008-02-11 06:53:07 : <INIT> DriverPacks Finisher 7.05.2 initialized.

DPsFnshr.ini file:
[Settings]
; DO NOT SET THIS MANUALLY, LET THE DriverPacks BASE DO IT FOR YOU! (may NOT contain any spaced, if it does, all exceptions must be adapted to be compatible!)
DPsRoot = "%SystemDrive%"
; DO NOT SET THIS MANUALLY, LET THE DriverPacks BASE DO IT FOR YOU!
KTD = "false"
; system variables supported (see remarks for a list) one location cannot be used as
; KTDlocation: the root directory specified in[Settings]\DPsRoot
KTDlocation = "%SystemRoot%\DriverPacks"
; system variables supported (see remarks for a list)
logLocation = "%SystemRoot%"
; enables/disables debug mode (enabled by default)
debug = "true"
I followed the tutorial step by step and selected the RunOnceEXE method,
So how the heck do I correct his problem?
