v2.9 is out!

Re: FindHWIDS v3.2s - The INF Searching, Hardware ID Exporter

This is my own opinion.  I was thinking that instead of having two input boxes popping up one right after the other, you could have just one window with two input boxes.  I think this would make your application look better appearance-wise.

Re: FindHWIDS v3.2s - The INF Searching, Hardware ID Exporter

You are absolutely right! I was just doing this temporarily to get all the kinks out first. I was actually going to do radio boxes instead.

Radio buttons will work out well for choosing what type of output to use.

I like the way the new GUI looks.

Glad you like it Echo. I'm still working on extra functionality.

Re: FindHWIDS v3.2s - The INF Searching, Hardware ID Exporter

Geez, at this rate you'll be at v15.9.9 by the end of the year! smile

Re: FindHWIDS v3.2s - The INF Searching, Hardware ID Exporter

kickarse - I just tested v3.0.1 with the DriverPack MassStorage and having Excel as the output option.  It appears to have worked correctly.  The only thing I would like to see, if at all possible, is to minimize or hide the Excel window while it is populating it.  If it isn't possible, then that's okay.

Re: FindHWIDS v3.2s - The INF Searching, Hardware ID Exporter

I just tested that and it works! I'll add that too. I'm also working on a way to filter the Class type.

Good to hear that the hide/minimize feature works.  The Class type seems like it could come in handy.

Re: FindHWIDS v3.2s - The INF Searching, Hardware ID Exporter

Yeah it is. I'm using it now to filter for exporting to Sysprep for class types SCSIAdapter, HDC and System.

Re: FindHWIDS v3.2s - The INF Searching, Hardware ID Exporter

v3.0.3 is out! Check it out driver brethren.

Re: FindHWIDS v3.2s - The INF Searching, Hardware ID Exporter

I just told some team members that people like echoplatoon and kickarse will make a difference in how we we use scan-tools.

Getting to understand there was more than PCI\HWID was a tiny step with huge consequences.
Understanding the difference in sysprep and disc based install will help, and I think the next step will make you see that we (you)revolutionised or had us un-invent some old approaches.

I have little doubt that this is going to be useful for SAD and SAD-Plus.
(SAD; basic driver stand alone, working with dpinst. SAD-plus is a streamed disc which has exceptions for SAD.)

I have this gutfeeling that SYSprep people finally saw that there were differences in the requirements for disc-based install and PE too.
(The total automated elimination of dupes was often no good for disc based install because it had little or no smart discrimination.)

I am no expert on PE.
Some of you sysprep guru are.
However, to do this scanning, and then automatically write exceptions so that naming conflicts go away is probably something one of YOU already thought about.

I can but warn that this would not be easy.
(some workarounds we did for disc based install took us many hours of work, or many moons of tuning and pruning.)

Kickarse, thank you for keeping yourself interested.
Echoplatoon, thank you for the guidance here.
(EchoPlatoon was one of the first whom helped us make excell sheets what helped us tremendously.)

and OverFlow.
he has a bucketful of ideas.
you guys seem to have been able to tap them.

The answer was 42?
Kind regards, Jaak.

Re: FindHWIDS v3.2s - The INF Searching, Hardware ID Exporter

erm, I should apologise.
Before my previous holiday I told people I wanted to spend some time in finalising testpacks and releasing those that were up to it.
Well, the personal project I am in used up huge amounts of time.

I am having holidays again.
I am into the fourth day, actually.
1,2,and 3 were spent on shifting stuff and more shelve building/stuffing.
There are another 40 yards of shelves in a shed I need to empty. (and I still have over 11,000 items to move/alphabetise) and I see I need approx 30 yards extra I have to buy.
I will try to do some real work on DriverPacks, tho. Them 11.000 books/movies/CD were in storage for so long that they can wait a little longer?

The answer was 42?
Kind regards, Jaak.

Re: FindHWIDS v3.2s - The INF Searching, Hardware ID Exporter

Jaak, thanks for the compliments! I've gained so much help and insight from using Driverpacks that I feel it's my duty and privilege to give back to the community and team. I really do hope this tool can help you guys with tracking down HWIDS and keeping drivers from blowing things up.

I think I might add the ability to export to txtsetup.sif (gathering information from the txtsetup.oem). But I'll have to find out how to do that first. Shouldn't be too hard though, right? smile

ed. this may help http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=288344 and this http://www.osronline.com/ddkx/install/txtsetup_1wmq.htm

The next additions should be adding filters for OS types and Architecture types. Then I'll be adding an INI file for settings, for stuff like auto running, etc.

Re: FindHWIDS v3.2s - The INF Searching, Hardware ID Exporter

I have to empty the shed and smartly plan relocation of odds and ends because the back of the house will be redesigned and expanded.
sad

An unforeseen foreclosure of lease forces me to move back in them 11.000 items before I am actually ready to hold them, but I must make amends.

Kind regards, Jaak.

Re: FindHWIDS v3.2s - The INF Searching, Hardware ID Exporter

Jaak, that sounds like fun neutral I'd help you but, alas, I live in the US.
