Hi kickarse, Universal path name (like \\server\drivers) No longer work in v4.5, it was working in v4.1.2 [Drivers] Compressed_Driver_Location=\\server\drivers Uncompressed_Driver_Location=C:\Drivers to go roung i have to create a batch file like this within same folder @ECHO OFF ::This should be the path to WPI on the share SET SHARE=\\server\drivers\ ::mount share to a free drive and change directory to it. After Script it finished the drive will be unmounted PUSHD "%SHARE%" Start /Wait \DriverInstaller\driverforge.v4.5.exe POPD

it worked very will, I would like to make a suggestion for both "DriveForge", "Post-Install". in many time people have big collection of drivers, it take long time copy, decompress and then install. we can easly knowing from Windows drvices manager what is the missing drivers types，so in your program UI give user option to select those missing drivers folder only, then run the proucess. it realy help to speed-up the total installration time. if people have USB or network Drive with decompress folders UI even can just click and map those missing drivers folder in Registry only. (Saving time to copy, decompress) I am not good for writting so i drow a little UI in attachment. I hope it can help you Dear kickarse, I found out if select "Delete uncompressed drivers" option, it only delete \Drivers folder, but the registry DevicePath remain same even the \Drivers folder no longer in. I thanks it should reset back to windows default driverPath=c:\windows\inf only.
