Snappy Driver Installer (Page 2 of 3)

Thanks.   That got it rolling for me.   You should include that in your documentation.    Most routers block bittorrent traffic and that has to be manually set up as a port forward.   I'm sure others will question it.

I have been using this now for about 2 months and to say it is superb would be an understatement! Thank you soooooo much for taking the time to create this wonderful piece of software and of course to all the folks who update the driver packs!

can i slipstream this to windows setup?

Welcome to DriverPacks hardware_failure,
So... was that a vote for, or against SDI? ... LOL

Thanks for taking the time to stop by, we do value the feedback.

Have you personally tested all of the features you listed above? That is not made clear except on installs which you admit is not yet tested.

It is more helpful to everyone if you can report on what you tested personally. Including an outline report of how you achieved success would definitely benefit others.

BP has been around a long time and I am cautiously optomistic about SDI.

Keep the feedback flowing people!

Are you talking about the long extraction times?

It must have to do with the fact that driverpacks are growning in size.

I plan to improve extraction times, eventually. It involves creating tools that optimize driverpacks for SDI by repacking them in a special way. It will result in at least fourfold decrease of extraction time and also reduce the size of driverpacks. Even when it's fully automatized it would still take many hours to process driverpacks each time they are updated, so I might have to get a SSD to speed up things.

In the meantime, you can repack biggest driverpacks with the solid block size set to 256 MB.

Hello,
I have worked to move from SAD to SDI but I have some questions.

I want to use a network drive mount on Z to install driver and if the server can be reach, i want to use a local directory that will contain only the important drivers (LAN, WLAN and CHIPSET).

I have write this script that i want to use from he sysprep and it looks to works.

@echo off
PING fogserver
IF %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 1 GOTO local
NET USE z: \\fogserver\Drivers
Z:
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%G IN ('DIR /B *.exe') do (%%G -autoinstall -autoclose -license "-finish_cmd:%systemroot%\System32\shutdown -r -t 15")
NET USE /delete /yes Z:
goto end
:local
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%G IN ('DIR /B *.exe') do (%%G -autoinstall -autoclose -license "-finish_cmd:shutdown -r -t 15")
:end

any advise to make it better ?

My second question is, it looks like that SDI unpack all drivers from a packs that contain needed driver, is this normal ?

If SDI, running from the network, install or update network driver, will it crash or will it handle the temporay lost of connection ?

I have review my script to this to have a debug command lline windows and install network driver from local SDI if needed for the net use.

start cmd /k
SET curdir=%~dp0
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%G IN ('DIR /B %curdir%*.exe') do (start wait %curdir%%%G -autoinstall -autoclose -license)
NET USE z: \\fogserver\Drivers
Z:
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%G IN ('DIR /B *.exe') do (%%G -autoinstall -autoclose -license)
C:
NET USE /delete /yes Z:

It's not working for me. I created a thread here - http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic. … 676#p58676

Hi gmk you can download latest version of SNAPPY DRIVER INSTALLER FROM HERE. i HAVE DOWNLOADED IT WORKS LIKE CHARM
http://softlay.net/drivers/snappy-drive … -r199.html

I used AutoIt to click on "do not install" when i run a loop on a pnputil command.
As i use French OS, as it's maybe not the same window and as you want to accept them,
I'm not sure if this will help a lot without editing the code but you have a start.

While 1
   if WinActive("C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe") = 0 then
	  if Winactive("Sécurité de Windows") = 0 Then ;use the au3info tool to check the actual name of the window
		 Winactivate("Sécurité de Windows")
	  Endif
	  ControlClick("Sécurité de Windows","","[TEXT:Ne pas installer ce pilote]")
	  sleep(2000)
   Else
	  Exit
   EndIf
Wend

Hello. I have recently got this working from a USB. The OS installs sliently using unattend.xml from a fully updated gold image.
I'm by no means a master of this, or scripting, but through trial and error I got it working. I tested all the examples in the previous posts and none seemed to work. This is the only thing that worked for me.
For the rest of the people wanting to do do what i've done. This is how I did it.
Hopefully this may save someone some time.
I used this for a Win7x64 based image.

Copied all the source files and drivers to:
.\sources\$oem$\$1\Setup\SDI_R317

-----SetupComplete.cmd
@echo off
del /Q /F c:\windows\system32\sysprep\unattend.xml
del /Q /F c:\windows\panther\unattend.xml
pushd %systemdrive%\Setup\SDI_R317\
DP_Install_tool.cmd
exit

-----DP_Install_tool.cmd
%systemdrive%\Setup\SDI_R317\SDI_x64_R317.exe -autoinstall -autoclose -license "-finishrb_cmd:Shutdown.exe -r -t 15"
pause
RD C:\Setup /S /Q

-----sdi.cfg
"-drp_dir:drivers"
"-index_dir:indexes\SDI"
"-output_dir:indexes\SDI\txt"
"-data_dir:tools\SDI"
"-log_dir:logs"

"-finish_cmd:RD C:\Setup /S /Q"
"-finishrb_cmd:Shutdown.exe -r -t 15"
"-finish_upd_cmd:RD C:\Setup /S /Q"
