magic507 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I have tried installing other canon printers from the list provided when I browse to the inf file and I get the same error with all the printers...... maybe there is a problem with the drivers for canon printers..... Although that were the case, I would think there would be alot more posts about this.... The manufacturers just need to quit being lazy and provide their own drivers for their products instead of relying on MSYou may have been on the right track with renaming some of the code.... maybe it gets changed when copied from DVD to harddrive on a full default install of Vista and when we simply drag it off the DVD it does not get changed..... This is really frustrating! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legolash2o Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 (edited) nah the code is fine already and it does it with epson too, im jsut checking too see if i have to copy another folder to the desktop. which means i gotta extract the whole install.wim and search for your missing files Edited August 6, 2007 by legolash2o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magic507 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Thanks for all your help so far..... do you have any other ideas? Should I just copy the entire install.wim contents to my desktop, try to install printer, and if it works delete the folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legolash2o Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 (edited) ok re-copy all the files to be sure, then move the folder to C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepositoryand if you go to add new hardware it should have printers in the list or just try automatic Edited August 7, 2007 by legolash2o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magic507 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 ok re-copy all the files to be sure, then move the folder to C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepositoryand if you go to add new hardware it should have printers in the list or just try automaticIt actually worked!!! Thank you SO MUCH! I had to change permissions to copy the folder there in the first place (which Vista didn't approve of), but once I changed permissions and copied the folder, I changed them back. The install went fine (even though it still said 1,415 files)....... It must have been some sort of security thing related to Vista.... it can only install drivers from the default folder???? Either way it worked great and I appreciate all your effort with solving my problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legolash2o Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 (edited) Your welcome Magic507, yep it must only be able to install from the default folder, plus it adds it to the hardware list and the automatic driver install list so it will install when it picks it up n switched on.You wouldnt believe that this was the actual first time ive done this task, i had no clue how to do it yesterday morning anyways glad to help n if you have any other problem be sure to leave a topic on the forum. And please post on my topic here that it worked as i need someone to confirm. ThanksGreat Teamwork Liam Edited August 7, 2007 by legolash2o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
