meowing Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) Ever since version 185.85 WHQL, we can no longer integrate the drivers from nVidia using nLite. The install stops with a Found New Hardware dialog, and it causes the nlite commands (thus entire installation of Windows) to not be executed properly any further.I tried editing NV4_DISP.INF, but that makes the drivers no longer WHQL, no longer certified, so you're pretty much stuck.I'm surprised there aren't many others posting about this, not even in the nVidia forums.Sincerely hoping someone with a bit more knowledge knows how to best solve this.

johnhc Posted August 7, 2009 Posted August 7, 2009 meowing, I did a search here on 185.85 and got a number of hits. Please take a look. There may be some help for you. Please let us know. Enjoy, John.
meowing Posted August 7, 2009 Author Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) Yes I've seen many posts and threads about it, but not one true solution, which is why I posted this. Either you have to strip the pack clean of Physx and the controlpanel, or you end up changing inf files manually in ways that are obscure at best.I'd rather have the entire install as is, as it used to be.

johnhc Posted August 8, 2009 Posted August 8, 2009 meowing, in one of the earlier threads, I think I suggested asking nVidia to correct the problem. Have you opened a support request with them? Enjoy, John.
xyu Posted August 25, 2009 Posted August 25, 2009 (edited) We must find a solution ... and i don't think nvidia will care about our demands.Maybe it's worth the try. Edited August 25, 2009 by xyu

We're looking for the XP x64 version of the drivers, including control panel.

I'll try and reverse engineer.
g-force Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 I rebuild the RunOnce-Addon to x64-version.I wasn`t able to test it (no XP_x64), but it should work.DOWNLOADThread @ German-WinLite (german): http://german-winlite.de/wbb/index.php?pag...29267#post29267

(Looking for one with 190.62) If you want, I can maintain the x64 version for you. (I can subscribe to the German forum as well..)

(I can subscribe to the German forum as well..)As I mentioned, I got no XP_x64, so I don`t want to update this Addon,because I can`t test it - I hope you don`t mind.But if you unpack the Addon, you`ll see how to do it, just replace the filesand update filenames in "entries.ini".
xyu Posted September 19, 2009 Posted September 19, 2009 (edited) Good, very good news, from German-WinLite.de !In NV4_DISP.INF, under [DestinationDirs], just change that:nv_controlpanel_copyfiles = 01to that:nv_controlpanel_copyfiles = 11It's amazing but that's it. I've just tried it and it worked with the good old method of pointing the *.inf folder in the winnt.sif.So many thanks for beatmaster and his post http://german-winlite.de/wbb/index.php?pag...29267#post29267Happy unattending !

I mean, you say something is good news, but it's not clear what is. Does this work for XP x64 as well?
