1. RUN_ME.cmd: Error at line 587: %0 is replaced with current cmd file name! Must be %%0 . 2. Use CABARC instead of MAKECAB please. MAKECAB from Windows XP has a bug. It resets file's last modification time and this produces binary incompatible archives. I've discussed this problem here too. Replace makecab /D CompressionType=LZX /D CompressionMemory=21 with cabarc -m LZX:21 3. Use upx’ed version of 7za.exe (upx -9 7za.exe) to save 0,3Mb space on CD. Unpack all other EXE files you use in BTS_DriverPacks_BASE internally (but not copy to CD) to reduce size of BTS_DriverPacks_BASE. Thanks. 4. Because RyanVM Update Pack adds its entries in separate [Files] section in dosnet.inf, Driverpacks Base unnecessary duplicate all its entries in [Files] sections twice.

5.04.4 D\L\3\1\EL90XND4.SY must be renamed to .SYS These DLLs are standard VC++ & MFC libraries found in Windows. I doubt if there is necessity to duplicate them here: D\L\LI\4\MFC42.DLL (size 973kb) D\L\LI\4\MSVCRT.DLL (size 289kb) Must be removed these entries from D\L\LI\4\PCM200HA.INF too. Use 7za a -r -t7z -m0=BCJ2 -m1=LZMA:d24:fb255:a2:lc7:mf=bt3 -m2=LZMA:d19:fb128:a2:lc0:lp2:mf=bt3 -m3=LZMA:d19:fb128:a2:lc0:lp2:mf=bt3 -mb0:1 -mb0s1:2 -mb0s2:3 DriverPack_LAN_V5044.7z to reduce size of DriverPack_LAN_V5044.7z by another 1% B)

Because you don't use LZX:21 compression method - utility is useless..

BASE_V50412: RUN_ME.cmd: :Keep_Drivers DEL /Q $OEM$\$1\D\BTS_DPs_cleanup.cmd SET Choice= SET /P Choice="Should Windows to keep the drivers after the installation? (Press Y or N) [EXPERIMENTAL]" So for now the drivers are kept always?

1. I'd like the work you do. Thank you for this. But your ignorance makes me a little bit cynic. Sorry for that. 2. Just redownloaded DriverPack_LAN_V5043.7z to ensure one more time that .gid files still ARE NOT removed (D\L\D\5\DgeCfgDll.GID & D\L\LI\5\lne100m.GID). After better look I see, drivers in D\L\3\1 are not CAB'ed but SZDD'ed. Still I see no reason to keep them packed by some weak LZSS compressor, coz this increase total size of 7z archive. 3. It is true there is no big difference - the only one - optimized size. Still there is no version 4.18b of command line of 7z, but only 4.17b. Bug was fixed in GUI version and cmd version was left intact.

Unpack downloaded EXE with WinRAR or 7z, delete trojans inside (gator.exe and like that) and use the rest as you like ;-) The old problem with ThemeXP.org... ;-)

The only documented switch is: -y switch for installer module specifies quiet mode for extracting.

You are right this time - I've messed up DriverPack_MassStorage_V5041.7z and this is why drivers are not unpacked. I find this out by debugging script. I never used Method 1, but now I found errors in Method 1 (look at line 99, and 121 of RUN_ME.cmd).

MassStorrage is totally broken in last version (BASE 5.04.11). Drivers aren’t even unpacked to i386 because of directory renaming (DP -> D). So forget about SATA & RAID support.

Anyway, SAV CE 10.0.0.359 is now available...

1. Download WindowsMedia10-KB892313-x86-ENU.exe package; 2. Extract WMP.DLL with WinRAR or 7z; 3. Cabarc -m LZX:21 n WMP.DL_ WMP.DLL 4. Put updated WMP.DL_ over old one; 5. Burn, install, post here if it works ;-)

What reason to point to the same errors if they are not fixed 2-3 or even more version in a row ? Do you think 4.16 beta from Driverpack is better than 4.17 beta ? And 7z beta is a lot of faster than non beta. Mainly errors are fixed in GUI by now, not in cmdline version of 7z.

There a lot of bugs not fixed in BASE 5.04.11 again REM #################################### REM DriverPack Graphics B REM #################################### SET C=%SYSTEMDRIVE%\D\G\ REM ######################## IF NOT EXIST %C%A\2 GOTO DPGB2 label DPSB6 still missing EXIT at the end - it is neccesary again? 7z.exe is not updated to v4.17... *.gid and *pdb trash files not removed from datapacks, damaged LAN drivers (with the _ at the end) not fixed etc., etc., etc....

WMP.DLL has been updated to 10.0.0.3901 version. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/892313/

Do you tried to manually copy virus definition files from 7zipedEXE folder \program files\Symantec AntiVirus\Virus Defs\*.* to C:\Program Files\Symantec AntiVirus\Virus Defs\ and C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\VirusDefs\BinHub\ and C:\Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\VirusDefs\20050418.008\ or whatever has it named after install ?

Just wonder - how many times [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main] key is repeated in RegTweak 1.8b ?

I think you can delete these files from DriverPack_LAN_V5042.7z : DP\L\D\5\DgeCfgDll.GID DP\L\LI\4\BCMLogo.gif DP\L\LI\5\lne100m.GID DP\L\SM\3\Windows\readme.txt And question about drivers in DP\L\3\1\ - must be in CAB format ? Or they are damaged ?: NETDI90X.DL_ EL90X.DO_ NICPROP.EX_ EL90XBC3.SY_ EL90XBC4.SY_ EL90XBC5.SY_ EL90XND3.SY_ EL90XND4.SY_ EL90XND5.SY_

For smaller packages like Chipset, LAN, MassStorage, Sound B DriverPacks I'll recomend to use BCJ2 splitter before useing LZMA compresion. This method have sligtly better compresion ratio on them. Comand line options for DriverPack_Chipset_V504e.7z looks like this (one single line): 7za.exe a -r -t7z -m0=BCJ2 -m1=LZMA:d24:fb255:a2:lc7:mf=bt3 -m2=LZMA:d19:fb128:a2:lc0:lp2:mf=bt3 -m3=LZMA:d19:fb128:a2:lc0:lp2:mf=bt3 -mb0:1 -mb0s1:2 -mb0s2:3 DriverPack_Chipset_V504e.7z

Hopefully new liteForce 71.84 is out ( http://www.guide3d.ru/liteforce/ ) and I can simply change the content of Graphics DriversPack A with this ready to use lite version : You can make liteForce 71.84 by yourself by removing these unnecessary files (~28Mb in total !!!) from DriverPack_Graphics_A_V504.7z directory \DP\G\N\ and slightly modifying nv4_disp.inf and nv4disp2.inf files to reflect changes: advanced.tvp cad.tvp dcc.tvp default.tvp finance.tvp keystone.exe nvappbar.exe nvcpar.hlp nvcpcs.hlp nvcpda.hlp nvcpde.hlp nvcpel.hlp nvcpeng.hlp nvcpes.hlp nvcpesm.hlp nvcpfi.hlp nvcpfr.hlp nvcphe.hlp nvcphu.hlp nvcpit.hlp nvcpja.hlp nvcpko.hlp nvcpnl.hlp nvcpno.hlp nvcppl.hlp nvcppt.hlp nvcpptb.hlp nvcpru.hlp nvcpsk.hlp nvcpsl.hlp nvcpsv.hlp nvcpth.hlp nvcptr.hlp nvcpzhc.hlp nvcpzht.hlp nvepclnt.exe nview.dll nvrsar.dll nvrscs.dll nvrsda.dll nvrsde.dll nvrsel.dll nvrseng.dll nvrses.dll nvrsesm.dll nvrsfi.dll nvrsfr.dll nvrshe.dll nvrshu.dll nvrsit.dll nvrsja.dll nvrsko.dll nvrsnl.dll nvrsno.dll nvrspl.dll nvrspt.dll nvrsptb.dll nvrsru.dll nvrssk.dll nvrssl.dll nvrssv.dll nvrstr.dll nvrszhc.dll nvrszht.dll nvwcpar.hlp nvwcpcs.hlp nvwcpda.hlp nvwcpde.hlp nvwcpel.hlp nvwcpeng.hlp nvwcpes.hlp nvwcpesm.hlp nvwcpfi.hlp nvwcpfr.hlp nvwcphe.hlp nvwcphu.hlp nvwcpit.hlp nvwcpja.hlp nvwcpko.hlp nvwcplen.hlp nvwcpnl.hlp nvwcpno.hlp nvwcppl.hlp nvwcppt.hlp nvwcpptb.hlp nvwcpru.hlp nvwcpsk.hlp nvwcpsl.hlp nvwcpsv.hlp nvwcpth.hlp nvwcptr.hlp nvwcpzhc.hlp nvwcpzht.hlp nvwddi.dll nvwdmcpl.dll nvwimg.dll nvwrsar.dll nvwrscs.dll nvwrsda.dll nvwrsde.dll nvwrsel.dll nvwrseng.dll nvwrses.dll nvwrsesm.dll nvwrsfi.dll nvwrsfr.dll nvwrshe.dll nvwrshu.dll nvwrsit.dll nvwrsja.dll nvwrsko.dll nvwrsnl.dll nvwrsno.dll nvwrspl.dll nvwrspt.dll nvwrsptb.dll nvwrsru.dll nvwrssk.dll nvwrssl.dll nvwrssv.dll nvwrstr.dll nvwrszhc.dll nvwrszht.dll nwiz.exe Modified nv4_disp.inf and nv4disp2.inf are attached. lite7184.rar

You are a lucky guy. And I have all 8 Windows XP versions (all with SP2 + PostSP2 updates) on my multiboot CD + PartitionMagic Boot FDD + 7 more very useful boot FDDs and have VERY limited free space (~30Mb) for drivers integration, so I must to chose very carefully what I _really_ need to integrate.So any lite versions of driver packs would be very useful for me.

Hacking does not always mean making worse. Video drivers are somehow different than others. There are a lot of tweaked versions (my favorites are from http://www.omegadrivers.net/ ).Enabling otherwise hidden tabs like “Clock Frequencies“ or “Addition Information“ in nVidia drivers by adding a key to a registry or adding RadLinker to ATI drivers doesn't change nothing except making drivers more tweakable and useful. So, may be we need "DriverPack Graphics A Hacked" also?

I'd like to see lite version based on liteForce set of drivers. LiteForce driver set if free of language files and nView technology (because it is unnecessary for many users). The page is in russian and it’s a little bit outdated ( http://www.guide3d.ru/liteforce/ ). But you can download older version of optimized driver (66.93 at the moment) and look at what was removed from original ForceWare version.
