Re: [Tool] Drivers Installer Assistant (for PostInstall Windows) v.6.4.28

Hi guys. I am glad to present you a new version of the program.
Changes in the program very much.

Changes to the Drivers Installer Assistant [3.2.16 - Final]

[CHANGED] Optimize the speed run the program.
[CHANGED] Beginning with version 2.12.1915 program is very slow with the cd \ dvd and on the network. Now, the launch speed is almost independent of the location of the program.
[CHANGED] Fixed progress not correct behavior when loading the program.
[CHANGED] Added parameter change "Process compatible HWID (CompatibleIDs)" via the interface.
[CHANGED] Updated software DevManView to version V1.20.
[CHANGED] Updated software System Information Viewer to version V4.16.

[ADDED] For each tab running tab is added to the group of driver packages "All drayverpaki", "Update Available", "Unidentified," "Installed", "DB is not created."
[ADDED] Added full support for compatible HWID for each device on your computer. Parameter in settings.ini - [OS] CompatiblesHWID = 1
         To work correctly, you must turn off the option "Treat duplicate HWID", and then restart the program and re-create the database.
         Increases the startup time, but is required to more accurately determine the appropriate drivers.
[ADDED] Now compatible HWID searched in all the tabs for all OS. Return to the old mode of operation is possible through the setting: Section [OS] SearchCompatibleDriverOtherOS = 0
[ADDED] The program starts looking for the unknown device driver (not in the index files), and if such changes the description and the text color button "List all your hardware drivers + Search the Internet for the HWID".
         When you press this button the program displays a list of missing drivers in the database program where you can search for drivers on the Internet.
[ADDED] Added a new option for supported OS - Ignore the bit OS.
[ADDED] In the "Tools" menu added new paragraphs:
        Update the status of all driver packages (the current tab) Shift + F6
        Scan for hardware changes (the current tab) Shift + F5
[ADDED] Added a new option when the program starts: Do not handle the tab for unsupported operating systems. Parameter in settings.ini - [OS] LoadUnSupportedOS = 0
         Buttons driver packages for these operating systems will not change the status at startup, thereby reducing the startup time.
         After loading the status can be changed for each button separately (context menu) or for all tabs SHIFT + F6
[ADDED] Added ability to change the font and font color for new bookmarks via the setup program.
[ADDED] Added a hidden setting - Section [Main] option LoadIniTmpAfterRestart. If the parameter is "0", then the option is not included in the work, and if "1", the logic is as follows:
        1. When the program is a CD \ DVD settings saving program, the temporary file% temp% \ settings_dia_tmp.ini;
        2. With the positive response to a request to restart the program after saving the program will start with new settings;
        3. In the usual exit from the program a temporary configuration file is deleted.

[FIXED] Fixed a partial not delete temporary directories.
[FIXED] Considered a rare feature of the Inf-file, because of which could not get entry into the database.
[FIXED] Fixed error handling if the driver database in the database only one line.
[FIXED] Fixed incorrect behavior of the checkbox. Checkmark posed only after the item was removed from the mouse.

Re: [Tool] Drivers Installer Assistant (for PostInstall Windows) v.6.4.28

At this time in the DIA did not change as much as usual, but there are a couple of very useful. The program is now better quality picks up the driver - if there are multiple drivers for one device, then the installation will be offered to drivers approaching on the most complete code of the device.
Also, for more convenient custom installation, the program added a filter that removes from the list of currently installed drivers.
For a more comfortable work and I also realized the possibility of extracting the drivers to your chosen directory.

Changes to the Drivers Installer Assistant [3.4.12 - RC1]

[ADDED] For a custom installation added a selection of drivers in groups, "Not Installed or Disable", "Update Available", "Installed", "Older than the established."
[ADDED] Added ability to extract the driver (selected or all that apply). Available for group treatment.
[ADDED] More accurate selection of drivers. To install the driver will be offered that are matched to the fullest HWID.
[ADDED] For additional utilities added to the setup executable file for 64-bit OS. If the setting is not specified, the default is to run a file, prescribed for 32-bit OS.

[FIXED] Fixed appearance of messages at work in quiet mode.
[FIXED] There was no transfer of some elements. Fixed.

[CHANGED] Updated program DevManView to version V1.22 (Added run 64-bit version).
[CHANGED] Updated Program System Information Viewer to version V4.17 (Added run 64-bit version).
[CHANGED] Changed the checkbox element in all forms.
[CHANGED] Fixed the displacement of some elements in the form on different operating systems.
[CHANGED] Many other small fixes.

Hi,
Thank you for this marvelous program. big_smile

You mentioned -t can be used to run the program in silent mode within a specified time.
What are other switches please?
It'll be great if we can run your program with -help to show us all switches and parameters.

Thanks again and keep up the great work

Hello! Use of health.
Yes, there are clues in the help they are not described, but are described in revision history.
[ADDED] Added a new command-line option to run in quiet mode-s [mode] (includes-t10).
Parameter determines which packets to provide for the installation.
Option [mode] can take values for mode “Install (compatible drivers) “and Set “Install (Full - the whole) package”, respectively:

Re: [Tool] Drivers Installer Assistant (for PostInstall Windows) v.6.4.28

Is it possible to use FreeArc instead of 7zip too?
It's much faster and results in a more compact archive than 7-zip.
http://www.freearc.org

FreeArc is a modern general-purpose archiver. Main advantage of FreeArc is fast but efficient compression and rich set of features.
FreeArc works 2–5 times faster than best other compression programs.

It's worth trying the bad thing is it's in beta stage. sad
The latest alpha release can be found http://encode.ru/threads/43-FreeArc/page9999

Re: [Tool] Drivers Installer Assistant (for PostInstall Windows) v.6.4.28

Perhaps freearch and better, but I especially repelled by the fact that all packets are compressed 7-zip.
Please suggest a ready command line to unpack the driver packages.
At the same time and packing driver packages according to the method described in this thread - http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=4789.
I unfortunately do not have time to compare archivers

Re: [Tool] Drivers Installer Assistant (for PostInstall Windows) v.6.4.28

Thanks for the reply,
http://maximumcompression.com did a comparison between lots of archivers.
The comparison can be sorted in various ways Efficiency, Compression/Decompression Time and Ratios ..
You can find most efficient archivers here http://www.maximumcompression.com/data/summary_mf2.php

There's a "Fast, low-memory decompression" option in archiver which I think can help the situation ..
I'm not good at tweaking packers options, but I hope you great guys give it a try. smile

Re: [Tool] Drivers Installer Assistant (for PostInstall Windows) v.6.4.28

Hi Romeo91!

i'm using your software now.

I tried to translate it to Vietnamese but failed because your software isn't support unicode character. I will be happy if the next version it can support unicode.

And it's quite hard to manage the driver packs because i have to check what is new myself. I don't see any function to help me check my driver packs are the newest or not. Can you increase this function in the next release?

Your software is powerful. I love it!
Thank you!

Re: [Tool] Drivers Installer Assistant (for PostInstall Windows) v.6.4.28

Hi, littleghost!
Unicode is supported in the program, but partially. Not all components implemented. What exactly are you not working? can provide the created language file for testing.

With regard to your wishes to check the existence of a new driver, I do not quite understand what you mean? So the program can check the version of the driver in an existing backup

With uncompressed drivers it's not able to work. But the idea of implementing such a possibility for me with the very first version. To say when it will be realized, I do too, I can not.

Hi! Can you please tell me if it's possible to use the uncompressed drivers and how to do that? Thanks.

Your website, linked in the original post, is redlining a number of AV systems, including Kaspersky and Bitdefender. Just advising in case you are not aware, that it is being blocked by these apps as malware.

(not the application itself - your home page for the project).

Just letting you know, you might want to attend to this.

BTW, thanks for a great system. I have been using in my repair center for several months and very happy with it in all respects. Stable, reliable, effective. Thankyou.
