DriverPacks BASE 8.09.rc1 - We need your comments, Please! (Page 2 of 2)

The changelogs are part of the nightly builds.  DriverPacks Finisher won't move those.

Read BEFORE you post.  HWID tool   DriverPacks Tutorial   DONATE!

Not all heroes wear capes, some wear Kevlar!

Hi eethball, welcome the flux.

I would like you to be part of what makes us get into a structured improvement move. We are in a flux.. we are NOT fluttering.

Your testing of what is "in flux" will benefit all when you tell us
1; what you did (all the steps)
2: what you expected
3: what result you had

examples:
When you report GOOD or bad, while testing against known DriverPacks issues in drivers, the generated logs help.

If you have a niggle with the GUI or orher DriverPacks Base function and NOT a HWID conflict.. Please, PLEASE tell us what you expected to see in the interface (DriverPacks GUI) or what you had expected to see when you changed option, or as result after you ran it with your options.

for logs, we should have a FAQ.
simple; (gui in CPL for folder options) unhide all system,  and unhide system known extentions.
OR (the dark DOS screen aka cmd console)
CD\
dir /s /e /h *.log
dir /s /e /h *.ini

edit....  (forget set=) forget MsDos.

OTOH, this is too long to be in a sig and not beyond basic. I just wonder why so many do not know how to post those relevant logs.
we gonna havta have a faq?
find logs and INI by cmd or path, as shown in signatures by the DriverPacks gurus

Let me start by saying I love this tool and it has saved me countless hours of work.  I love the new SAD feature.  One question I did have was on the DPsRootDel  = "false" option.  Am I understanding this correctly, the option is only if you are using a thumb drive or external drive for the location of the \D\ folder and if the option is not used all of the drivers are still installed on the machine and not removed.  Other than that it appears to have worked perfectly on 3-4 machines that I have tried it on. 

In response to markstrelecki's and OverFlow's post about SAD being intended for a machine that has all of its updates a tool that I uses that might help is c't update available here http://preview.tinyurl.com/yp993m  It will download and create an iso of all of the Windows and office updates for XP, Vista, Server 2003 and multiple versions of Office.  Work great if you dont have a WSUS server. 

Again many many thanks to everyones hard work.

argh! too bad. I kinda liked that "SAD makes you happy." :)

talking about nature, I like using feminine words, but not as much as for computer things... /2 cents
