Ahh ok thanks for all the info guys.

I just tried running SAD2 on windows 8 Build 9200 and got this error message before any driver extraction took place.

"Invalid Operating System detected windows 8 currently uses driverpacks not supported."

is there anyway of getting it to run on Win8 as it is the same architecture as & and Vista?

Thanks.

Hello again,

With SAD2 is there any way of getting it to be able to just use the driver files needed for the computer your running it on, and not extract all of the 7z archives?  as it takes around 10-15mins to complete after extracting every driver pack.

I think with method 2 after unpacking all the driverpacks they all will not fit onto a DVD.

Somthing similar to driverpack solutions, how it selects just the drivers you need.. But i didnt like how intrusive DP Solutions was.

Thank you.

Thanks for your fast reply,

Thats great it will work in Windows 8.  So you wont have to change or add any more code for the OS build detection part in the script?

Will it just function as if it was Windows 7, after having a look at Win8 behind the new interface it seems very similar to 7.

Thanks again.

Hello,

First of this looks like a great utility.

I run a small computer business and have to install drivers on a lot of different machines.  I am a total noob when it comes to all this driverpack stuff.

Can someone help me in setting up a DVD that will auto install the drivers (unattended)?

I think i have mangaged to make it unattended by deleting "SET /p option=[Y,N]?"
and changing the silent install to "Y"

also would this work with Windows 8?

Thank you in advance for your help...

thanks for the reply, so if one was to try installing Windows 8 on a fairly modern laptop the Driverpacks should be able to sort the drivers out?

Cheers.

Hello everyone.

I was wondering if the current Driverpacks would be compatible with Windows 8? and the newer notebooks that are being shipped with Windows 8 installed.

When the transistion from Vista to 7 was happening a lot of the drivers from Vista worked fine with Windows 7.  I am wondering if this will be the same with Windows 8.

Thank you for your help and a great resource.
