Topic: [Solved] Finisher (Base 8.05~8.11.02) doesn't always clean up properly

Hi DriverPackers! smile

I just wonder why I some times see the folder D is still there even if I choosed that I dont want to save drivers for later?
This happens on different computers and didnt think so much about it before and deleted the folder manually.
But now Im checking just to see if there is some good explanation even if I cant give any DPsFnshr.log for now.

Thanx!

Re: [Solved] Finisher (Base 8.05~8.11.02) doesn't always clean up properly

this issue was found by the testing team already...
we are working on it -
it doesn't happen frequently so it is hard to fix.
it is belived that it has to do with a setup file remaining in use that was called by the finisher.
there is supposed to be a runonce reg entry added to remove the folder after a reboot if the finisher delete fails.
this backup mechanism is belived to be failing in certain instances...
the root cause is a setup that reports it is done when in fact it is still running.
otherwise the D\files would be deleted by the finisher directly

Thanks for reporting - it make DriverPacks better for everyone - stay tuned to the home page for the next RC wink

thanks for all

I stickied this so i will remember to do it...

thanks for reporting everyone... i can't fix it unless i know its broke... wink

Reporting is so very important!

Have a great day!

OK...

I have found the issue with the backup mechanisim for removing the \D\ folder

the line entered into the runonce key was

cmd.exe /c "if exist C:\D  then rd /s /q C:\D"

"Then" is a valid Autoit syntax - but is not valid for CMD

this is corrected in the 'head' version and will be included in the next release...
