drivers only cd (Page 1 of 3)

I tried to get rid of my double post and they both disappeared... strange

I tried to get rid of my double post and they both disappeared... strange

i had a copy of what i typed on the clipboard though... ( i have been gotten before )
so it is out of order above sorry everybody...

Yes - actual folder and the files in it

the finisher deletes the files and creates a runonce entry to delete itself after you reboot - that is normal.

dpinst should have run just before the finisher did... there whould have been a window visible while it ran for a few moments...

i added two debug lines to the cmd file to help you... please use the code below in your DP_Install_Tool.cmd for a test run

DP_Install_Tool.cmd code

first you should see a popup when the packs extract

then
dpinst.exe runs and it logs to the screen (in the blue window several thousand lines and takes a few minutes) .
it will list stuff like:

INFO:   RETURN: DriverPackagePreinstallW  (0xE000020B)
INFO:   Preinstalling 'e:\\d\c\i\xp\e727505.inf' ...
INFO:   ENTER:  DriverPackagePreinstallW
INFO:   Looking for Model Section [INTEL_SYS]...
INFO:   No matching devices found in INF "e:\\d\c\i\xp\e727505.inf"

if you see lines like the above scrolling by it is working !

if the dpinst file wasn't found it would have paused and put a message up like          DPINST.exe doesn't exist
since it did not pause and give an error i can only assume it worked correctly

jeff

were the all of the logs created? (meaning that the exe's all ran)

they should all be date stamped for the time of the run.

if there is a dpinst.log then it did run... how big is the log like 800k or so? (typical for all packs)

since you devices are not installing it might be nice to see the HWIDS perhaps they are not in the packs...
