@ mr. smartepants,
When you get some time if you could send me some sort of logo you would like to use for the gui, I will try to put something together and create a rough draft so to speak of a gui for this great utility.

Its a false positive from you AV....some AV's are over protective is all.  You can always test it on other AV's or virustotal website and see results.  If you downloaded the project from here then I can surely say it is safe.  If you got it somewhere else then use at your own risk.  Never just take your AV word for it...always do multiple AV checks to make sure if in doubt.

Hey guys, how about a gui created in java using netbeans?  I know others have tried with autoit but to tell the truth I really don't care for it.  I have been playing around with some java and think it might be a lot easier then c++ and better then autoit.  .  Just something for everyone to think about.

I agree with both of you...newer isn't always better.  Found this out first hand many years back.  Like the saying goes...if it aint broke then don't fix it. 

Also most new updates are for newer cards and OS's.  If your not using neither of the newer items then it probably does no good to upgrade the driver...in fact sometimes it can cause issues on certain systems.

Thorough testing is a big must and I will say thank you to all involved here for doing that.  Its one thing to just add drivers as they are put out without testing but to ensure it works properly is a A+ from me.

Back on subject of this thread...Just thought I would let everyone here know that the SAD3 works in Audit mode for windows 7 for I just made a custom oem recovery partition on my lappy and used SAD3 without any issues.  All drivers captured correctly and system is running good.

@ blabley
Already posted 5 posts above yours but thank you anyway. 

Thanks OverFlow.  I will check it out.  I feel special.  lol 

@ OverFlow,

I understand how some take credit or refuse to give credit to original maker/makers of this tool.  I myself just updated some utilities inside and rewrote some of the code trying to improve since mr_smartepants was busy.  Plus to tell the truth I was bored and seen how a tool could be updated and somewhat refined thanks to mr_smartepants for his fine tunning.  Now days I just dont have time either, like mr_smartepants.  Wasn't it nice when we were kids and didn't have to worry and work as hard?  lol  I thank all involved in this creation and improving this tool.  Maybe when I get more time we can work on a gui for it. 

Sir could you please share that part of your code so I can add to mine?  I alreaddy added the others just not that.  Thank you.

SAD2.2 is an old modified version that had some small issues, one of which you encountered.  Plus the restart issue is corrected also.  Everything is mostly fully corrected in the SAD3 version.  The newest version that isnt on the the first page is SAD3 which has alot of modifactions.  Scroll back a few pages and grab it....also grab the beta's of hid and touchpad drivers for it has special instructions that SAD3 uses to determine the correct dirvers.  If SAD3 doesnt install correct touchpad drivers then you will have to manually install them.  SAD3 has came a long way and that is the one I recommend using.  SAD3 has different silent install switches also.

Personally I haven't messed with the SAD2 in so long it is kinda hard to remember the code.  lol

Are you using this in your iso (dvd) of win 7?  Or are you tring to just adding all this onto the harddrive first? 
You should be adding this to the iso then burn it or add to your usb depending on your install method.

first off thanks for all the pics. 

This is wrong   / should be \

%Win7-Disc%\sources\$oem$\$1\D\SAD2\ (entire contents of SAD2 folder with all DriverPacks goes here)
%Win7-Disc%\sources\$oem$\$$\Setup\scripts\setupcomplete.cmd

in setupcomplete.cmd file...

START /W %SYSTEMDRIVE%\D\SAD2\DP_Install_Tool.cmd /s >nul

this will work for you.  this should be solved now. 

+1  Adding the -aoa switch allow the install of video drivers and the physX (NT5)  without need to allow the overwrite on extraction.  I was not including the physX pack but with adding that switch it runs silently and overwrites without user input.  Nice catch!
