Topic: Minor Glitch in DPs_BASE 3.3.0.0

Hello and thanks for a terrific piece of software.

I was referred here by a moderator on the UBCD4Win forum, to report a minor problem with DPs_BASE.

On the first run (and only the first run) after installing DPs_BASE and downloading driver packs, the selection page (where packs are selected for slipstreaming) is unavailable here.  Paging back and forth through the navigation tree is futile -- the selection page just doesn't come up.  This is easily corrected by exiting and restarting DPs_BASE, which works flawlessly from that point on.

I've deleted and reinstalled everything a total of four times now to double check, including system restarts, and the problem appears consistently repeatable.  This is certainly not a show stopper, and I'm not complaining per se, but thought you'd want to know.

The discussion at UBCD4Win established that the selection page is usually obtainable via the navigation tree AFTER downloading/updating on the first run, but that is not how it behaves here.

Blessings,

- Papagresh

Welcome to DriverPacks.
I've never heard of DriverPacks BASE version 3.3.  We're already on version 9 here (they're numbered after the year they were created).  I'd first suggest you update to the latest version of DriverPacks BASE (see main page).
If you have any further problems, please read the link in my signature before you post so you know what info we need to help you.

Silly me.  Wonder where I might have gotten that idea?

On loading, it turns out to be v8.12.4 -- downloaded about three days ago from your site (can't swear to the exact date).

I'd first suggest you update to the latest version of DriverPacks BASE (see main page).

I don't need any help.  If you'd read my post instead of skimming it, you'd have realised that.  Simply trying to make you aware of a glitch.  I suppose the erroneous version number derailed you completely -- sorry.

I'll check for a version update.  Thanks for your time; I shan't bother you again.

Blessings,

Re: Minor Glitch in DPs_BASE 3.3.0.0

PapaGrief is refering to this
http://ubcd4win.com/forum/index.php?s=3 … entry69497


no reason to attack mr_smartepants he was only trying to help after all,
and you did report bogus info (You reported to us the version of autoit that DriverPacks BASE was compiled with. big_smile)
and provided nothing in the way of details either here or at ubcd4win as to your process, this makes it hard to help.

And yes you do need help....!

Furthurmore this Glitch you are reporting is actually user error.
I can only guess, but I think you made more than one error.
(please take a moment to read "Read BEFORE you post")

I Bet you did not read the BartPE tutorial either... did you?
It's in my signature, and included with DriverPacks BASE,
and avaialble from the help button on the plugins page from PEBuilder
Because if you had read the tutorial and read before you post... then we would not be having this discussion.

Sorry about your attitude problem,
but before you report a Glitch you should at least RTFM
In the case of DriverPacks BartPE, the manual is only one page long.
Had you read that one page you would not be reporting an issue.

the pages that load after the location of platform page depend on your selections on the location / platform page.
If you do not make a valid selection - then there are no other pages to show you...
And there will not be any other pages until you do make valid selections on the location page.
The pages that follow the location page can't be properly determined until after you provide valid input for the platform and the location fields on that page wink (clearly you did not read the help at the bottom of that page either)
so to sumarize you cant select packs until after you select a valid platform and location.

I am also going to guess you did not read the first instruction that applies to you in the tutorial

Extract / install the DriverPacks Base program to a folder that IS NOT in your plugin folder - IE C:\DPsBase\
Again if you had taken only one minute to read it then you would not have attacked mr_smartepants...
or reported a bogus issue that is actually user error... annouce you don't need help when obviously you do...
additionaly we are not mind readers we don't know what you did - if you don't say... IE the version # you used
then be snide to us about the whole thing

Yes you do need help... because your so lost that you don't even realize that you are in fact lost.

Silly you needs to be nice to the people who are helping you for free... hmm
Oops, make that you should be sorry for wasting our time... and being rude about it too
