Topic: Somebody please explain to me DriverPack_*_wnt5_x86-32.ini

OK I use 3rd party driverpacks that I personally make. Here are some questions I have:

- Do I need the INI file for my 3rd party packs?
- Whats the purpose of the INI file?
- Can somebody explain this in detail?

[DriverPack]
platform	= "wnt5_x86-32"
name		= "Chipset"
rootDir		= "D\C"
; OPTIONAL
classes		= "Infrared,Ports,System"
driverCount	=
decompSize	=
compSize	=


; This exception removes some silly, useless HP/Compaq "eHelp" button (that actually is integrated into the chipset!) from the system.
[D]
; REQUIRED
exc_count		= 1
; OPTIONAL
exc_1_tagFiles	= 0
exc_1_+hwids	= 1
exc_1_+hwid1	= "ACPI\MGMT180"
exc_1_-hwids	= 0
exc_1_+infFiles	= 0
exc_1_-infFiles	= 0
exc_1_commands	= 1
exc_1_command1	= "%SystemDrive%\devcon.exe remove ACPI\MGMT180"

Thanx...

Re: Somebody please explain to me DriverPack_*_wnt5_x86-32.ini

If you need to know what the meaning or purpose is for a certain entry, you can find a reference in any DriverPacks BASE starting from version 7.01.2 RC1, in docs\DriverPack_reference_wnt5_x86-32.ini.

It is my understanding that all packs will be required to have these in the future.
For most third party packs exceptions probably won't be an issue so it should be fairly easy to create them.

Thanks OverFlow... Never crossed my mind to look there

EDIT: Does this look right?

[DriverPack]
platform	= "wnt5_x86-32"
name		= "Rick's"
classes		= "Modem, Video, Sound, Chipset, NIC"
rootDir		= "D\3"
driverCount	= 8
; OPTIONAL
decompSize	= 21,049,717
compSize	= 5,985,527

Re: Somebody please explain to me DriverPack_*_wnt5_x86-32.ini

yes it does

if your folder structure is D\3\D

here is an example for lan

[DriverPack]
platform	= "wnt5_x86-32"
name		= "LAN"
rootDir		= "D\L"
; OPTIONAL
classes		= "Net"
driverCount	=
decompSize	=
compSize	=


[NV-123]
; REQUIRED
exc_count		= 1
; OPTIONAL
exc_1_tagFiles	= 0
exc_1_+hwids	= 1
exc_1_+hwid1	= "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00DF&SUBSYS_E0001458&REV_A2"
exc_1_+hwid2	= "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00DF&SUBSYS_02501462&REV_A2"
exc_1_+hwid3	= "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00DF&SUBSYS_A5511297&REV_A2"
exc_1_-hwids	= 0
exc_1_+infFiles	= 0
exc_1_-infFiles	= 0
exc_1_commands	= 2
exc_1_command1	= "%SystemDrive%\devcon.exe update %DPSROOT%\D\L\NV\123\nvnetbus.inf "PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_00DF&SUBSYS_*""
exc_1_command2 	= "%SystemDrive%\devcon.exe update %DPSROOT%\D\L\NV\123\nvnetfd.inf "{1a3e09be-1e45-494b-9174-d7385b45bbf5}\NVNET_DEV00DF

Re: Somebody please explain to me DriverPack_*_wnt5_x86-32.ini

Basically, these files contain everything that was contained in DPsFnshr.ini before. But now it's moved to the related DriverPacks instead.

The obvious advantage of this is that you don't have to update the BASE/Finisher to be compliant with an updated or new DriverPack! Which has a pretty cool consequence: as of DriverPacks BASE 7.04 and the 7.04 DriverPacks you will be able to use *any* DriverPack version (higher than or equal to 7.04) with *any* DriverPacks BASE (again, higher than or equal to 7.04)!

Re: Somebody please explain to me DriverPack_*_wnt5_x86-32.ini

Since I use sysprep, I have to decompress the driverpacks to C:\D.  Where do I put the decompressed .ini files?  Do they belong in the root of C: like DPsFnshr.ini did?

Thanks,

They have to be in the same directory as the "D" directory is in (i.e. on the same level).
