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

That is awesome!
  Am stuck using v3.2p for now, as it doesn't change Class names.

As for posting your mod, i would think that would be permitted as long as the original author is credited and his copyright acknowledged.  "Original program Modified by smc1979", if you like.

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

I just added those 3 lines and simply changed the version to 3.2t and then complied it to both exes, nothing else was changed so still very much his program. Will be more than happy to post the new versions if you think it would be ok :-)

You said you are using 3.2p because of class names, can you explain that more, perhaps I can make a fix for that as well. :-)

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

Class=USB becomes listed as "USBDevice".  There were others, i think, involving SDHost not showing up in the list.  That was noted on XP using v3.2s.

edit:  An excellent first post, by the way!

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

Thanks lol

I am actually writing a new program for my tweaking.com site and it is a hardware identifier program. It will have a lot of other stuff in it as well as a easy check if anything on your system is not in the device database and auto submit it to help it grow.

SO to start off with a first database I used this program to scan all driver packs and every inf folder on each different version of Windows since xp to 8.1, then made a program script to remove the duplicates. I only need 3 sections, hardware id, name and mfg.

On to your problem, yes it should be easy to fix. Here is how it is done, it pulls the classid stored in the inf file then simply sends it to a function where based on the id given will return a precoded text response which can be changed.

Microsoft offers a list of the classids here and what they are for.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library … 85%29.aspx

Anotherway is to pull the classid info from the registry and pull what it is listed as there, I have my old cs fire monitor program that can do that on xp. SO making a quick vb6 app should be easy to do that.

I could also see about putting text boxes into the program to allow you to put how you want the text for each id to show up as, but that would be a lot of textboxes lol.

Or is the problem is MS changed what the classid gets reported as from xp to say 7, then maybe the easyiest thing to do is to change the code to have a text for what the classids use to be on xp, then based on the system or even put a simple option is can decide which classid text to return :-)

So think of this, a checkbox that says "Use XP ClassIDs"
Then in the code, take USB for example

RIght now it is
Case "{36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000}"
            $vclassname = "USBDevice"
            $vclassextname = "USB Device"
            $vclassdesc = "USBDevice includes all USB devices that do not belong to another class. This class is not used for USB host controllers and hubs"

COuld be

Case "{36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000}"
            $vclassname = "USBDevice"
            $vclassnamexp = "USB"
            $vclassextname = "USB Device"
            $vclassdesc = "USBDevice includes all USB devices that do not belong to another class. This class is not used for USB host controllers and hubs"

If the checkbox is set it uses $vclassnamexp otherwise it uses $vclassname. ;-)

If you ever take a look at some of my programs you will see I have a little practice with all this LOL

Not all heroes wear capes, some wear Kevlar!

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

I can upload the t version I made now or if you like send me the P version you use, I will decompile it and compare the classids in it with the S version and see if I can make a fix, maybe the checkbox idea.

How I found this bug was when I took all the Windows 7 driver packs and extracted them all to a folder and had findhwids scan it, thats when i got the error. So I dug in and found and fixed it and now findhwids goes through them all with no error.

For my new program and having a device list this tool is perfect. I can download any updated drivers that are not in the driver packs, just like I did with the ati v13.9 drivers and scan the folder and pull the hardware ids of the newer cards. Can do the same with nvidia and others. So I am more than happy to help keep this tool updated, it helped me so only fair to give some help in return :-)

Shane

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

Another quick note, the link I posted to MS, that is the class IDs used by vendors, and on the left you will see the ones reserved for the system

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library … 85%29.aspx

He has the classids wrong in the program and is missing some from these 2 pages, USBDevice is for vendors and has a different classid

USB Device

    Class = USBDevice
    ClassGuid = {88BAE032-5A81-49f0-BC3D-A4FF138216D6}

    USBDevice includes all USB devices that do not belong to another class. This class is not used for USB host controllers and hubs.


Where the windows reserved ones have it listed as USB and the classid

USB Bus Devices (hubs and host controllers)

    Class = USB
    ClassGuid = {36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000}

    This class includes USB host controllers and USB hubs, but not USB peripherals. Drivers for this class are system-supplied.


So if you like I can go through and simply redo that function in the program and put all the classids from both pages and with all of them listed. Should correct the problems you are having with it not listed the correct class :-)

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

Question, as I look more into this, while Windows provides classids, drivers are allowed to create their own as well. And it is stored in the inf file, why does the program use a preset list instead of pulling the class from the inf file?

The code in the program shows it pulls the classid first, if it returns a result it moves on, if it cant find the classid in the preset list it THEN pulls the class from the inf. Would it be better to just have it pull the class and forget the preset list?

        $sinfread_classguid = IniRead($element, "Version", "ClassGUID", "")
        _stringwithremove($sinfread_classguid, 1)
        Local $transclassguid = ""
        Select
            Case $sinfread_classguid <> ""
                $transclassguid = _translateclassguid($sinfread_classguid)
            Case Else
                $sinfread_classguid = "Warning: No Class Guid"
        EndSelect
        Select
            Case $transclassguid <> ""
                $ainfclass = $transclassguid
            Case Else
                $ainfclass = IniRead($element, "Version", "Class", "")
                _stringwithremove($ainfclass, 1, 1, 1)
        EndSelect

In my program, since it is pulling hardware info from the current system I just have it pull the class from the registry instead of having presets. But not sure what the best way is to have it do in this program and inf files.

Will upload v3.2p soon, unless someone beats me to it.

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

Well I have my new program ready.

Till then if you want to try it you can. Here is a download link, and some screen shots :-)

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

Welcome to DriverPacks.net smc1979,

Thanks for all the help, looks great! Feel free to contribute as much or as little as you wish. This tool has been here a while and we have had zero feedback on it for some time. Until you showed up big_smile. If changes will benefit you then they may help others too. Please share both the why and the results as often as you llike big_smile.

We actually use a different tool here on the team, one that I wrote that is very specific to our needs. His has a lot more features. Mine does a much better job of returning the HWIDs contained in the files. Some of his changes were the direct result of us pointing out errors / omissions as a result of my scripts output. one of the big ones was hitting the max array size in AutoIt. sad.

I'm so glad you joined, again, welcome aboard.

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

Thanks :-) I program in VB6 so the autoit code was easy for me to understand.

I found the tool because I used it to make the first run of the device database for my new program and used it to scan the driver packs and the inf folder of every version of Windows and a bunch of up to date drivers of the newest major vendors.

He hasnt replied to my emails or even posted back here. He did say anyone could email him for the source so i could just give it to one of you and you could put it up and make it open source for people to help with. Personally I would rather make the program in VB and not autoit.

New program is having a good start and a lot of people are submitting their hardware ids on their systems helping the list grow. The program records every ID for a device. So how a video card will have say 5 ids. The longer the ID the more it points to a specific version of a device. So the database can really help pinpoint hardware for people since it records for every ID. So in other words that video card would be in the database 5 times for each ID.

Thats why in the program I included a "Best Match Option" which is basically the longer the ID that matches the better the chance that is the right device :-)

After using the program here and seeing other people had errors and I was able to fix it, it just felt like the right thing to do to post here and show how to fix it and maybe even post a fix. :-)

One hopes that Stamandster is OK, but his computer is not.

Still interested in your mod though.   It could be suggested that it be released as a tribute to the original author.
  Apologies for not yet posting 3.2p; my setup is kind of akward at the moment.  I'll do so when i upload the last round of updates before the RC's.

Well I went ahead and put the source and the 3.2t I made into a zip file and put it on my site. I will leave it up to one of you guys to put it on source forge or something :-)

Currently working on an update to my hardware identify program. Converting the database from a text file to a proper database. The results are not instant instead of searching the text file :-D v1.1.0 will be out soon.

And here you can grab the course and 3.2t by me :-)

Well found yet another bug in the FindHWIDS, it replaces commas in the mfg name and in other places when it shouldnt. I may need to write my own to overcome the amount of bugs in this one lol

So Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. becomes Advanced Micro Devices  Inc.

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

that's what i did, but mine is very specialized, we use the output to populate the fields for publishing a pack. That is all it does. but... if very efficiently extracts (99.3%) all the correct HWIDs and categorizes by OS, and skips non entries. Only for one very specific task, that has a user base of two.

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

Thank you Shane, for the update.

Noting that OEM names being truncated like that is fairly minor.
  I wonder what those "other places" are, though.

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

Yeah I just needed the HWIDS for the starter database of my program is all, so I only needed HWID, Name and Mfg.

I just updated my program to v1.1.0.

http://www.tweaking.com/content/page/tw … ntify.html

v1.1.0
Complete redesign of the device database. The program was using a normal text file and would loop through to find your device. While this worked fast it would take around 5 to 10 secs to search for your hardware. As the device database grows that would become slower and slower. I have redone the database into a proper database file and set it up in a way to make sure nothing is duplicated to help keep size down. While the new database does make for about a 15% larger file it now gives me the proper method to do searches in the database. Now pulling up your hardware from the database is nearly instant :-D

Changed the device lookup window to automatically move all devices that match with the longest id at the top of the list. The longer the ID the better chance it is the right device.

Because of the larger database size I have changed the downloaded database file from a zip to a 7-zip file since I can get a much better compression. As an example the current database compressed into a zip file is 2.72 MB while compressed into a 7-zip file it is only 1.36 MB. The smaller the file the faster the download when updating the database in the program.

Multiple code changes and improvements.

Honestly I would love to know what you guys think of it, being that you all deal with hardware, drivers and IDs :-D

Will have to recuse myself from reviewing it myself at this time.
  Can anyone spare a Type 40 TARDIS???

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

Dont get me started on Doctor Who. I am still pissed I have to wait till Aug to see the new doctor. Just saying.

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

Don't feel so put out.
  I had to wait over 16 years for the new series after meeting Colin Baker at a convention premiering "Trial of a Time Lord".
    Still wish i had retained that signed copy of "Caves of Androzani".
So nice to see Tom Baker reprise the role during the 50th anniversary show sans scarf, even briefly.

Wish they would film an episode or two here in Canada.

I told my wife I would leave her for Karen Gillian any day, my wife said "Thats fine, I would leave you for half the movie stars out there".

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

I was born in 1979, so all good to me lol

Love redheads :-D

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

That show held many sources of inspiration.  Having briefly worked as a camera man for cable TV studio, An Adventure in Space and Time was especially immersing.
  Elisabeth Sladen always captured my attention, and i know a wonderful lady that seems very much like her.  It is hard to believe that Mrs. Sladen passed away.  So much has happened in the past three years - it all seems so surreal.
