Whoa! If the file is still in use after a restart and the service fails when it's deleted then we have another problem.
I did this 2x and had the same result each time...
Well I actually tried this again since I am doing other testing and yes it happened a 3rd time so it is consistent

No need to merge them. Check the SHA1 hashes of both .inf and check for matches in either of the .cat files. You might be able to put both .infs in the same folder and maintain signing (renaming an .inf doesn't affect it's hash).
Is the Thumbprint sha1 of the cat file supposed to match the sha1 of the corresponding inf? IF it is then none of these match up on the files I have... so I am confused

This is an old bug where DriverPacks Finisher can't delete files that are in use. That's why DriverPacks Finisher creates a reg entry to clean up after itself after the next reboot.
I know from the finisher log that it states it added a reg entry for the cleanup but it still didn't delete the D directory, plus when I manually deleted it after "unlocking" the file handle, the service failed so thats why I checked the reg for the entry and had to change it from the D folder to the proper programs folder. I will run a small reg file during my cleanup which will handle this in the meantime but thats not the real fix

I just ran another test and noticed and odd issue... the audio works but the install leaves the D folders in the root with the stacsv.exe in it and the actual service is registered and running from that location... I was able to create a reg mod but why would it do that?

Not making any progress here can you point me in a direction?
I tried the whole thing from scratch and yes of course it shows a device Manager error
I deleted the I5 folder and just kept I4 and that showed the same device Manager error
I tried creating a pack entry with the Dell driver and that fails completely and just keeps rebooting
SAD doesn't seem to make any changes for the installs at all
Yes I can supply logs etc but this has me spinning my wheels...

Well I haven't been able to get this pack to work correctly for ages now and since 85% of all the systems I work on are Dells with either Synaptics or Alps I decided to break out the drivers and create separate packs. Now I have a pack for Synaptics and a packs for ALPS and of course the original pack with the updated drivers. Certainly not what I was looking for but my tests so far on three laptops have all worked, so until I have a better answer at least this resolves my problems with this.

I have been trying a few different things to see if I could get this...
If I am wrong in any of this feel free to point it out :-)
From the HWID I found that the driver should be in the SG\9 folder so I ran a test by replacing the original driver in the folder with the one provided by Dell 01/29/2009 5.10.0.6147... then I ran the SAD
The driver didn't get updated so I decided to remove the device in Device Manager and let it try again ...when it did the new hardware wizard started and was asking for SG\7... needless to say that driver didn't work.
I manually ran the Dell driver setup which installed so I also included that log... not sure what to do from here...
