Topic: Testers Needed

Release Candidate for DriverPacks Base is available

Are you Tech enough?

Added XP SP3 (RC1) support.

Fixed the code that caused the nested folder error in method one when QSC was off  (the \D\D\ problem)

Corrected the M1 bug that added the $OEM$ folders and finisher files when only mass storage textmode was selected. If only textmode is selected then these files and folders are not needed.

Corrected the M1 bug that did not copy the INI files for the packs to the \$OEM$\$1 with the finisher files.

Corrected - needs an extra " added at the end of the line for BusExtenders.Load line in mass storage module for BartPE

Added support for HJW update packs (similar to RyanVM update packs)

Added a fix for the Setupold.exe problem
when an XP repair-setup was run on a machine originaly loaded with Driverpacks M2 drivers then setup would fail with the error cannot create setupold.

new command line switch by request  /proxy

Usage /proxy:"LocalProxy:Port"[,"Username","Password"]
examples
DPs_BASE.exe /proxy:"192.168.1.1:8080"
DPs_BASE.exe /proxy:"LocalProxy:8080","administrator","password"


A new method for Chipset? stay tuned to see.

please test everything!!!!

I feel confident it is solid - but I can only do so much testing on my own. 
Please read the topic, because it has some info about why there are changes.

For those of you willing to test,
this is the link to DPs_BASE_801RC2

Re: Testers Needed

BEAT 1
M1, no QSC, TXT only. fixed

Beat 2.
M1, QSC OFF, chips only. no issue

Beat 3.
M2. QSC OFF, chip, Roe. (only chips)
OK (horay)

beat 4.
M1 on beat 3, QSC OFF, Chip/TXTmode only
CleanUp was OK: Mass not in $Oem$
OK

fifteen variations after that.
four of them tested live in TXT mode in a Live DVD Boot.
all OK (aborted setup when I got asked what partition..)

I cannot test proxy.

I did not yet test M2 repair setup after M2
Somebody gonna have to test that on a LIVE machine he installed with RC2, and I had no free LIVE machine.

The answer was 42?

Re: Testers Needed

Our future.. I saw Rc2 and it works.
I knew some of of the changes in RC2 before it was written.

We will have a release.
As is, RC2 is stable.
Release gotta be Firm.

I asked Jeff for some features, so we will have an RC3.
JakeLd got credit. (Well deserved T00)

Jeff will (FINALLY) got some credit ( IF he is not too shy.. )
I mean.. Bâshrat the Sneaky dont write new code, and Jeff writes and improves on the base. Jeff deserves credit for that.
Helpers are helpers. We credit them in changelogs.

And what about Chips?
well, our future RC3 is about NOT breaking barriers.
We can postpone it? Yes.
We can release as is, and everything works while it already has M3 code.
Jeff will decide.

Good work.

The answer was 42?
Kind regards, Jaak.

Re: Testers Needed

M2. QSC on, ROE, chipset 801c, CPU71220, G_A8012, G_B8012, L801, S_A712, S_B801
All good!

Holy CRAP Jaak!  You've been busy!
I've only done two tests (desktop/notebook).
I've got some catching up to do. big_smile

I agree, RC2 is pretty damn stable.  Unless Jeff plans to implement what he learned in the other thread about the "monitor hotfix", we could just wrap this up and release.

Re: Testers Needed

yes.
I have txtmode OK on two wildly different machines, and a full setup was made possible by putting a LL'd drive of mine in a client's case..

By the way, that guy has a problem..
His medion from 2005 has all PQI files on HDD2
But he no longer has the recovery (retting?) exe.
After tests, the supplied DVD were used, and do not install the OEM recovery tools.
(Nice set of monitor files in there..)

want a side note? smile
DriverPacks DVD worked better than medion 'windows only" re-install.

Re: Testers Needed

you also tested chips 801c?
I did, and did one of my eXperimental chips.

we are not yet decided..
Jeff mostly splitted.. I mostly merged. We are probably going to have a maintainable chips with INI so that we get a M1 txtmode sort of chipset install (like M1 on steroids and short path.)

EDIT; added [mostly] where needed.. we gonna discuss this anyhow.

Re: Testers Needed

cant seem to get the proxy working..

DPs_BASE.exe /proxy:192.168.0.5:8080,Firstname Sirname,password

reports proxy settings are incorrect. dosent apear to like the space in the user name.

I would presume also for windows domains we would need to enter the user name as

DPs_BASE.exe /proxy:192.168.0.5:8080,DOMAIN\Firstname Sirname,password

Re: Testers Needed

Excellent work Jeff smile Any reason why you can't auto-detect the proxy settings from IE's settings?

; Use IE defaults for proxy
HttpSetProxy(0)

Re: Testers Needed

if the proxy switch is not specified it still imports them from IE and will log an error on failure, same as before.
however the command line will override imported settings.

apparently the people who need this proxy support are not useing a standard CERN proxy, for example ISA Server .
due to limitations in Autoit this may (still) not work for them IE Only CERN proxy servers are supported by Autoit
so the problem may be with Autoit and not with a failure to import the settings

@chiners_68 could you post your log file so we can see if the space did interfere?

Re: Testers Needed

Autoit does work with ISA as ive already got a script for downloadinfg the latest Sdat for Mcafee Antivirus.

start of the script is like this . ive entered proxy settings but as it uses integrated security I dont need to put in my username & password

;set parameters for using
Global $UseIntegratedSecurity = True
Global $ProxyServer = "192.168.0.5:8080"
Global $ProxyUser = "" ;if $UseIntegratedSecurity is true (and working), these can be blank
Global $ProxyPass = ""

I didnt write the scipt someone on the Autoit forum wrote it & i have took it & modded for my needs.


once the proxy switch is working ok. is there away you can add to the GUI a line for Proxy so you know the proxy switch has worked when your in the GUI stage..?

Re: Testers Needed

i still need you to please post your DPs_BASE.log so i may see if it was due to an incorrectly parsed space
That should not be the case since the comma is the delimiter.

the lines you list above just initialize variables they don't actually set any program settings.  (IE $x=2 $y=5)

autoit uses the command --> HttpSetProxy ( mode [, "proxy:port" [, "username", "password"]] )

which is the funtion I pass the parameters to from the command line.
it is possable that you need to include your paramaters in quotes...
or i need to add code on my side to add the quotes...

Im going to edit my first post to reflect that ...

cheers

Re: Testers Needed

@OverFlow excellent work on the RC2 release everything seems to be working really well for me on several live test installs. I have one question for you is there a way to stop the base from creating the txt file about the renaming of the 3rd party packs? Is there really a reason for the txt file other then letting you know it renamed it? I usually just delete them with a batch file but I would really like to not even have them created if it is possible.

Thanks,
dolivas


This file had to be renamed to be compatible with 8.3 filenames.

Original filename: DP_Input_wnt5_x86-32_070923.7z

Re: Testers Needed

yes the text file is used internaly to base both for installation and removal of the packs.
(removal if driverpacks is run a second time on the same source.)

@chiners
you ommitted the space after the commas in the above line... that might be signifigant.

Re: Testers Needed

then i am unable to figure out what is wrong - the default for base is to import them from IE - HttpSetProxy(0)
as far as i know that method and this one are both setting the HttpSetProxy function correctly. autoit states that it only supports CERN proxy in the documentation... not sure if that helps or not
