Bâshrat the Sneaky

Found another typo on the first page:

Err... You can't have one already... Unless you're using my DriverPacks In that case: you can overwrite it, but it's not necessary

Yes it's over \DP and not \Drivers. You should modify the presetup.cmd. Not my mistake... RUN the Update_Vxxx.cmd file to get the latest one!!!!

Do you run Sound_Control_Panels.cmd from cmdlines.txt? Does that work? You should run both from GUIRunOnce or from RunOnceEX...

hmm... I don't have ANY Windows Update (not even SP1...), no FW and I've just removed my AV. I run ad-aware once in 2 months, each time none (if I run IE for 2 secs: 20 spyware components... LOL @ IE ) This really is an odd problem... Next week I have vacation, so I'll put all my free time in the DriverPacks (coming closer to the completion...) and I'll investigate this problem futher then! P.S.: thanks for the link to that new driver, didn't know about that... Not reported @ tweakers.net...

Never mind, I got it working (at last ) I can work hours on stuff like this Yeah, me to. For that batch I gave you, I worked for a few hours, and would have kept going till I had found it. So what was the error anyway? It was a very STUPID one: It checked for those files, if it already existed it skipped those parts and guess what? I forgot to add the commands to remove those 'check-files' before and after those commands... That's why it didn't work... But while searching for the error, I made some more improvements, so it's no big deal...

Superb work, Alanoll! B) But the small page about my DriverPacks isn't exactly up-to-date DriverPack WLAN is already outthere... DriverPack Graphics should be (coming verysoon) and DriverPack Chipset (coming soon) The worm attack thingie is also fixed Just out of curiosity: if you estimate it, how long have you been working on this update in hours?

Never seen those quotes, imo they're completely useless here... And I even didn't think any further about that PAUSE command You can't use there indeed...

Just to let you guys know: both the UpdateChecker_V502.cmd (used to be Update_Vxxx.cmd) and the DriverPacksSlipstreamer_V502.cmd (used to be two files: Method_1_Vxxx.cmd and Method_2_Vxxx.cmd) are complete and fully operational! Now only the RUN_ME.CMD (used to be RUN_ME_M1.cmd and RUN_ME_M2.cmd), but this one has the most new AND the most advanced new features... I'll keep you updated

Yes... 1) remove the quotes, unnecessary (don't know if it matters though) 2) Use BACKSLASHES instead of slashes, so \ instead of /

Never mind, I got it working (at last ) I can work hours on stuff like this

Hmm... This is odd... :s Is there any trace of the control panels? if no > probably you didn't add the correct stuff to GUIRunOnce *or* to RunOnceEx.cmd (which is required to get this control panel installed...) if yes > then I've got a problem...

Sure EDIT: This code is not required: ECHO SPAST SPAST SPAST it was just to check if this part was executed or not... The same for this: rem IF NOT EXIST DP_Graphics_checked.txt GOTO Graphics just a test... By the way, it might be better to use this shortened version: TITLE Bâshrat the Sneaky's DriverPacks - UpdateChecker @echo off CLS REM REM REM REM ################################################## REM REM Copyright Bâshrat the Sneaky 2004-2005 REM REM http://www.BTSunattended.net REM REM BashratTheSneaky@BTSunattended.net REM REM ################################################## REM REM REM REM ################################################## REM General REM _______________________ SET D=DriverPack SET G=Graphics SET L=LAN SET M=MassStorage SET S=Sound SET W=WLAN SET URL=http://www.BTSunattended.net/Downloads SET F=FILES SET U=Get_update.cmd SET IE=IF EXIST SET INE=IF NOT EXIST REM ################################################## REM Versions REM _______________________ SET VB=V502 SET VG=V502 SET VL=V5011 SET VM=V501 SET VS=V501 SET VW=V501 REM ################################################## REM lots of code in between but removed just for testing....

I've found a bug in the UpdateChecker... But I can't fix it... What's wrong with this code: IF NOT EXIST FILES\DP_Graphics_checked.txt GOTO Graphics It's been working before, but can't get it to work now.... :s It just doesn't go to the Graphics section.... :s It just goes to the next command!

Thank you very much! I'm testing everything ATM... And yes, I'm already using LZX compression: makecab /D CompressionType=LZX /D CompressionMemory=21 Thanks again!

A first test: DriverPack LAN V5.01.1 decompressed: 14.0 MB compressed with 7zip ultra: 2.81 MB compressed with cab LZMA:21 : 5.12 MB (and that's when also cat and inf's are compressed...) So 7zip is alot better... Now the difference isn't big yet: who cares for 2.31 MB more or less? (OK, that *can* make the difference sometimes...) But when you're using DriverPack Sound, WLAN etc, the difference will become bigger, alot bigger... @djbe: thank you VERY much! I would have searched tens of hours without these results. I still have ONE last request: how to prevent it from compressing .inf and .cat files? I already figured that I would need something like IF %extensie==inf but my problem is I don't know where to place it...

Indeed @mpyr: I think you're seeing it right. (although I haven't experimented with it yet...) @RyanVM: thanks! I did not know about that. And yes, my PM Inbox is full again... only a week or two after I emptied it... I'll empty it again... @keul: no, I want to keep as many languages as possible. A tool to remove unnecessary languages? 1) That would be LOTS of work, while 2) saving at max a couple of megabytes... I don't think it's worth the effort... About those batch files: yes, I used that info to make them smaller! But I will keep using the international version! And again someone who thinks I should split DriverPack Graphics! Now my decision is made. I'll split it to DriverPack GraphicsA and DriverPack GraphicsB, unless someone comes up with a better name? (clean language and not too long)

I'll do that ASAP....

WOW I really like that desing FuNKer! I will use it

What do you understand under 'silent driver package install'? To me, it is a packed setup. I guess that's not what you mean... Just use the guide to integrate the drivers... Nothing difficult about it...

Thanks! Working now! I also noticed I can't put a pause exit behind it.... This was the last thing I needed Now I can test the batch files tomorrow and prolly post a beta tomorrow evening. I hope to start working on DP MassStorage tomorrow too! See you guys tomorrow! EDIT: yeah, I kind of 'managed' to get on my pc today Somehow I got on the apple site... And dammmmmnnn I want one of those PowerBooks... and MacOS X Tiger.... I guess I should start saving for that... too bad it's so expensive... :'(

Thank you very much, djbe, it's working! It actually moves the cabbed file to the folder where the original file is placed. But it stops after one file.... As I said several times, I'm not an expert, and I don't "see" how I can make it start over and over again... Can you help me?

That might be the best idea, yes

@mpyr: Yes, I noticed that too! But those aren't the Radeon drivers, that are the Rage drivers! (yes, those old ATI cards) I still have to decompress them, but forgot that. It makes the archive size bigger, because 7zip archiving is more efficiently! @Mekrel: I won't separate any drivers. The only reason why I'm even *thinking* of splitting DriverPack Graphics is for bandwidth reasons: the ATI and nVidia drivers are updated more frequently than any other driver around! And onther note: I think I know a solution to solving the ATI mobility problem: I will keep using the ATI Catalyst drivers, but *add* another hacked inf, that contains the PCI ID's of the ATI Mobility series! That way there's a compromise: I'll still use official, WHQL signed drivers, but hacked ones (pfff 'hacked', only add some PCI ID's...) for the Mobillity series!

Hmm... too much joy at once... It seems that currently the output of makecab goes to the current directory, while the output should *overwrite* the existing file! Any ideas how to solve this? I have to go now... Will continue work Wednessday (not allowed to access my PC on Tuesdays!!! :'( )
