I'm coding it (not that fast : it's holidays after all ;p ).
It's not hard at all except for the HardwareID/CompatibleID thing which I don't understant but I think it won't matter as it seems to be a vista exclusive (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa394353(VS.85).aspx look for CompatibleID and HardwareID).

By the way, is it possible that a driver file has several Classes, Providers, Manufacturers and DriverVers listed ? I'm asking because the vbs code behaves like it were but it would seem really strange.

edit : finally searched for the spec, manufacturer can have several entries (which I thought too) but Class, Provider, DriverVer occur only once.

I had a look at DriverInfo.vbs and while it is 2500 lines long, only 100 of them are interesting so I thought I could in fact recode completely. wink

I only have a question : do you know if these inf files can have non-english characters such as é è ç ?

Thanks. I was indeed just wondering what it meant. tongue

In fact I meant I had written a program that used an already generated csv file not that I had done one.

Nevertheless I had already planned to write my own scanner as I think a better sed-like scanner could be done (not in sed though) and VB is not particularly handy when you're running Linux...
I shouldn't take long to do and I'll see that this week-end (or this afternoon depending on when I get back home).

As for the scanners failing on nvidia drivers, I thought I could have a look and I've been quite surprised to see so few entries...

I finally coded my program. It can return the driver for given ven/dev/subven/subdev ids in less than 30ms. cool

Thanks a lot.
As for sed, I have several copies of it on my harddrive, some mingw ones and some linux ones. tongue

Thanks a lot Jaak, I'm looking at it right now. smile

edit : that should be more than enough. cool
Just wondering how up-to-date is it ? Thinking about it, I should be able to generate a similar file if it needed updates.

Hi,

In my spare time I'm making a live linux distribution. A big problem on linux is wlan drivers.
However with ndiswrapper it is possible to use windows ndis drivers in linux.
What I need know is a way to find the proper driver in dp_wlan's collection in order to install it.
Of course, I can't use any of the tools coming from dp_base. I can do fast anything though (including any kind of search).
In the driverpack folders tree, I know D stands for Driver(pack), then W for Wlan and that the last one is (used to be) the first letter of the vendor name but I can't manage to find a reliable way to identify the proper driver file (I need the .inf).

Could anyone advise me on the best way to do that ?


Thanks. smile

And why not add a message inside DP_base's GUI, when choosing method1 or method2, saying that installation will start a bit later ?
This should be obvious but as far as I'm concerned, I did not really realized that and I thought windows installation was going to fail.

Hi all,


hfslip+nlite+DP and everything installed without problem, I couldn't believe it. smile

Thank you a lot. :x




PS: just one thing : when extracting drivers around T-39, it would be better to have a "extracting drivers, please wait" message. wink

Eh? How were they INcompatible in the past?

I heard (or rather) read old integrator would replace some sif files instead of updating them and as a result was problematic with nLite.

Dunno 'bout you but I find contracting Eye Cancer not to be one of my preferred hobbies ;P

Lucky you. The girl next to me (still don't understand why she's sitting next to me!) always wears pink things (no, didn't chek her underwear tongue ) and she even has a flashy pink bag. So I'll get en eye cancer whatever I do. wink

I really can't wait for this. wink

About the theme, I wonder why nobody ever find pink themes nice. lol
Anyway I changed the display theme. I'd use the Mercury theme but then this board would have looked just as another one so I use Cobalt and it really looks nice.

And now DriverPacks are compatible with nLite I can use them. ^_^

Could we have this theme : http://www.punres.org/viewtopic.php?id=1524 ?
Sorry, couldn't resist. tongue
