no, right now it is saying that dpinst deosnt exist in destination. im running it from C:\oem
this is getting ridiculous

now i know what is wrong!!! woo hoo...
run DP_Install_Tool.cmd from the CD/DVD and let the script copy the files to the HDD
or run the DP_Install_Tool.cmd from c:\OEM\DP_Install_Tool.cmd after your manual copy. ps this is not neccessary - to copy manualy to the HDD - but will work just fine...that should cure your problems
didnt i do this already via your previous post? i copied manually the OEM folder from the DVD. then i ran the dp install tool from the oem folder on C:\

i just did it again. packs come over to C:\oem (where i copied the d:\oem folder) and i get the same dpinst.exe doesnt exist on destination error. but i look and dpinst.exe is in my c:\oem folder. what is going on here?

c:\dpinst.exe
ect...Which method are you useing?
$OEM$ extracted / cab compressed
or
OEM 7zipped DriverPacks
method 2
OEM 7zipped
the files are in the root of c:\ except for dpinst.exe. not there. i dont see it in c:\windows either

Echo Running the DriverPacks.net Finisher now!
REM %SystemDrive%\DPsFnshr.exethat will keep the finisher from cleaning up (deleteing) the files from C:\
then you could look and see if devcon and DriverPacks Finisher are there
(the packs should also be there in the C:\D\ folder)PS you can also run the DPINST tool manually by double clicking on it
- after you REMark the finisher line in the script and have run it one time -
ok, i will try that.
ps you should know that i have always been running dpinst tool manually since it is a cd only drivers disk (i dont do this on my automated dvd disc). what other way were you thinking i was running it. just want to make sure you knew that because if there is another way, let me know and i will certain ly try it

( C:\devcon did not exist when the finisher ran)but it looked like that dpinst.exe found all the packs and ran your hardware against them.
IE - the drivers should have been updated, even if the finisher was missing a file or two.
why wouldnt devcon exist? is it possible that my windows only install is the problem and because of the hardware, devcon is not coming over? i know i have 4 bit graphics on that and i had never seen it that low. maybe something is wrong there? maybe my windows only cd is not good?

well i have a clue already since it says that the devcon and the INI are missing i must assume that you didnt copy the OEM\bin\ folder to your disk.
you must have all files and folders from the OEM folder present, not just the packs.
we need the following files (at least)
-OEM
-BIN
7-zip32.dll
DevPath.exe
DPsFnshr.7z
DPsFnshr.ini
un7zip.exe
DriverPacks (One or All)
DPINST.exe
DPInst.xml
DP_Install_Tool.cmd
thats not it. all files there

ok, Helmi
i didnt want to flood the forum with these type of posts
i guess there is no way for me to attach these ini files?

Yeah, emailing will not make that error vanish.
It's not so much an error, btw, but more a forum limitation.You can try splitting up the file to smaller pieces and posting each in a new post to make it fit.
Just use a proper editor (Notepad++ or Notepad 2) and keep the character count below 64000 [^=64KB].

Intel Extreme Graphics Driver is in DriverPack Graphics BIDK why they would not be updated...
perhaps seeing your %SystemDrive%\DP_Install_Tool.log will shed some light on the problem.
