WsnoW Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 (edited) Hi all.I wrote some small program - Drivers Pack Unpacker & Installer.It can unpack & install DriverPacks - they can be downloaded from this site. It means that - you download the driver pack & put it to the dp folder in application directory.From that point program will take care about unzipping & installing needed drivers. The Program is fully portable. You can use it from CD,DVD,Flash cards , external drives etc. Starting 2 version utility can unpack&install only needed drivers (by HWID).New betaver. 3.9.4.7 beta#02-11-2008#=====================================================================* fixed error with saving app's log (romeo91)* fixed error with language changing to default(English) after app restart(SamLab,JinKazama)* Italian.lng file modified (JinKazama)* all language files were modified* fixed errors with translation* Some GUI changes* some minor & small fixesDownload LinksFull package or Only changed files fro off-siteFull package or Only changed files on driverpacks.netWhile reporting bugs please attach DP_WSED_Error.log, which could be founded in app's temporary directory, by default %windir%dp_wsed\.

DriverPack Mischttp://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=587+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++Mini FAQ:1. - Where does the "DP" folder go: c:\ or c:\windows. Do all your files have to be copied to c: drive etc.? - "DP" folder is in application directory2. - Are we to assume this is to be used after a system was installed without DriverPacks slipstreamed? - you can use it on any x86_32 (64 not yet tested) system. 3. - If so, does your program automatically install drivers for "unknown devices" in device manager? - Yes. The main principle is "Black Box" system - you don`t know which driver to install (update) & press the button to unpack & install After it finished - you can see what was done in the programs log-section. 4. - The Main driverpacks cab compressed take up 500MB instead of the 1.5GB they consume when extracted, does your program also cab them? - Right now tested packs consist of 25 driver packs - 533 mb in 7zip . (~3 gb - decompressed size) No, it does not cab them. 5. - and that the packs must be in 'Your' programs subfolder? - Only Driver Packs from http://www.driverpacks.net/ are tested. Full tested packs list is above.6. - it would seem that your program simply extracts the driverpacks and launches the MS program. 700K seems huge for that? - Yes it`s make that simple work. But my target was to have one GUI interface for all unpackers & installers + detailed log. And Also i need to have choice - which driver to install. One more thing is to save space. Anyway. You can use any other driver installation method. You are free in choice Usefull links1 - Driver Package Installer (DPInst) 2 - The DevCon command-line utility functions as an alternative to Device Manager 3 - language codes4 - DevCon Examples5 - System-Supplied Device Setup Classes (eng)6 - Device Driver Installation (eng)7 - Troubleshooting Device Installation with the SetupAPI Log File(eng) Edited December 24, 2008 by WsnoW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
