integrating ati catalyst 7.6

[feverinlove]

Hi, while I am waiting for the Service Pack 1, I would like to learn how I can integrate ati catalyst vista drivers.

I downloaded the file 7-6_vista32_dd_ccc_wdm_48646.exe and extracted it to a certain location, but I

cannot find the folder to integrate. Where is the driver files for x1950xt ?

Ok, you download the file and double-click it, press install and then click "OK" and "Cancel". Now you will have a directory %systemdrive%\ATI\SUPPORT\7-6_vista32_dd_ccc_wdm_48646\Packages\Drivers\Display\LH_INF. And in this directory there is a CL_48646.inf that you integrate with vLite. That should work for all supported Radeon cards. I'm using this method for my X1900XT, so I think your X1950XT should also work.

I am trying to make a small Vista for myself for backup purposes. Is it ok if I just backup CL_48646.inf ?

feverinlove, no, inf with all the files in the same same folder must be left intact while integrating. INF contains just an instructions how to use the files it accompanies.

(unless it's a setup.exe or another file you're sure that isn't used when driver is installed but I won't get into that now)

As nuhi said, the inf file only contains the device information and gives Windows (and vLite) the files to install. To get it integrated, I copy the CL_48646.inf, the CL_48646.cat and the folder B_48879 (contains 22 files) to another directory. Be sure to leave all 22 files in the folder B_48879, if not, the .inf will not find them.
