When installing from CD I got the following error:

Access violation at address 004EA1E2 in module DOInstaller_WSED.exe. 'read of address 00000000

Cannot create file "D:\dp\cmdfile". Access is denied.

Worked OK when I copied to a flash drive and ran from there.
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.

Could you please attach DP_WSED_Error.log, which could be founded in app's temporary directory, by default %windir%dp_wsed\.

Hmmm, does this need writable media for temp output?

Yes. App's temporary directory, by default %windir%dp_wsed\ - need to be on writable media.

Need to ask a question:
Does your program require .NET of any kind to be able to run properly.
Just did a base install from an original XP CD and the program will not run correctly.
(No drivers loaded during or after install)
DPInst also does not run.
Just interested.
Stu
p.s. Thanks for the great work.

HI,
the answer is - NO. My program not require  .NET of any kind to be able to run properly. About - "No drivers loaded during or after install" - I need to see programs log files to investigate the problem.

You don't have to host this yourself.�  You can use our 3rd Party DriverPacks FTP.

Hello, sorry that it took so long for me to reply. Thanks for the answer.

Where do i have to put the /el parameter? In the xml file? And can i do so with a normal editor? I know nothing about xml files

This issue is fixed long time before smile

I've tested 2nd way but no results... I can't use first method because i use USB pen
I have another question, if i use unpacked drivers folder how can i select them?
There would be a selection for unpacked drivers like packed drivers?
Thank you!

Thanks for reporting. Think I need to add to use alternate location usage thru GUI.

i already have all the 7z files extracted in DP folder is there anyway to make the program search for drivers with the already extracted folder

Where are 2 ways :
1. Copy extracted files to the  app's temporary directory, by default %windir%dp_wsed\. Then run search routines.
2. Try to test possibility added in previous beta.

I've wrote an email to the support, and they forwarded me to to Russian division. Now I'm trying to find right email to resend my question smile

Your program just get's better and better!
Just something to think about Warm Snow devcon.exe cannot legally be distributed by any third party. However, dpinst.exe can.
Also, I just sent you an email with an updated language file.

Thanks a lot for language file correcting. I'll add it to the new release.
Regarding DevCone distributing - now I've read English version of that article & saw that you are right - DevCon is not redistributable. Another strange thing is that Russian translation says that - DevCon can be distributed without any restrictions smile

Think I need to contact to the Microsoft support.

Hi ! swbchen.
Thanks a lot for new interface language. Now I can see all my mistakes while adding MUI to app. I'll resolve all issues in next release.

All Dp's copied to HDD first before 1st reboot through  --- $oem$\$1\Drivers\DP\dpa.7z....

And then extracting DP(now on the HDD) to temp directory on HDD.

Or you mean I don't need copy DP to HDD via $oem$\..... ???
It extracts Dp from cd/dvd to HDD directly ???? If so, where is the locations of the DP on the cd/dvd ???

Read this post

I am testing the compatibility with Tra.Chinese. It gives me an error message - "Error reading TranslateLangName param..."

Check TranslateLangName in the your lng file

it starts like this

[About]
TranslateLangName=English
Author=Zaur Baghirov

Anyway send me your language file I'll test it

What I am thinking is that to extract DP files directly from cd/dvd to HDD without copying all Drive packs to HDD. It will save about 5-10 min.
Also I am testing PC with USB-devices. It seems not work. I don't know what the problem ( the DP source or not)

But app already extracting DP to HDD directly. Or may be I'm not clearly understand you.
Regarding USB:
1 copy application to flash drive
2 then copy all driver packs into DP folder
3 delete dp_wsed.ini file
4 run application (dp_wsed.ini) will automatically created with needed options

Hi,RogueSpear
I guess you can test my application to collect HWIDs. I've already implement cutting duplicates in it. Hope your feed backs could help to improve utility.

regards

PS
thanks for script anyway. Think I can make possibility to run it from mу app, of course if you are not against

thanks for source codes, guys
Hope someday I'll also bring the source code of my app to the right order & publish it smile
