Topic: Custom SAD (Will this work?)

I am trying to create my custom sad, please... I want to get rid of unzipping or file extraction so I wanted to create a SAD in which all files are already extracted.

I have remove some of the exes and left only the devcon.exe, DPINST.exe, makePNF.exe and and remove all ini files.

And here's my batch file to initiate driver installation.

@echo off

  Echo. & Echo. & Echo Running the MicroSoft Driver Pack Installer now !
  Echo The progress window is minimized to the task bar & Echo. & Echo.
Start "MicroSoft Driver Pack Installer Tool Running" /wait /separate /realtime CMD /C DPInst.exe /c /s

REM Log and Attended output section
 Echo.  & Echo The DriverPacks Stand Alone Drivers installation is complete!
 Echo.  & Echo This window will close itself in 30 seconds... & Echo. 
 For /l %%A in (1,1,30) do (<nul (set/p z=#) & >nul ping 127.0.0.1 -n 2 )

my question, will this work?

My questions is:
1. Is it ok to remove all ini files and to what program ini files are needed?
2. Is it ok to remove devcon.exe?

DriverPacks Finisher use to delete the extracted files in %systemroot% for cleanup purposes, I remove the DPsFnshr.exe because I want to burn it to DVD disc and need not delete the files.

Total driverpacks size now 4.22 GB

Re: Custom SAD (Will this work?)

no the finisher does not "just" delete the files if that was all it did i would have just made a script with a Del command in it dumb ass. Why write a whole program just to delete a folder. use your freaking head.

Do you think we would go through all the motins of writing that script if it could be done an easier way? that is the easiest way.

Read the FAQ's and documentation or get lost. Not going to tell  you again. Gave you a link to the answer in my last post I am guessing you did not bother to read it.

If you are not going to "listen" to the answer to your question don't bother to ask.

Re: Custom SAD (Will this work?)

I have read it already, it just don't fit on my expected custom SAD.

I have figured it already... and working fine. I have remove the devcon.exe cause I think I don't need it.

I have added an autorun.inf pointed to the batch file. Ready to burn in DVD Disc and ready for distribution for my friends.
