NVIDIA Forceware changed, integration fails (XP x64 Edition)

[g-force]

This is the thread we show what to change in the INF:

I think translation is not needed.

We wrote another time to Nvidia-Support, if they are willing to change this by default.

With the modified INF integration with nLite is working.

XP x64: Sorry, nobody tested it.

Well then this makes this 'good news' irrelevant for this thread, because we're dealing with XP64 and XP64 alone.

I didn`t say the changes won´t work in x64 - I said I can`t test and prove it.

As long as the fix concerns the installation process i really can't see how it could be different for x86 or x64.

You forgot that the problem had nothing to do with the version of windose, nvidia changed their installer that's all.

Hmm.. I'm afraid for XP x64 it's more than changing their installer. I tried this inf change but got the same errors which started this thread.

Have you tested the latest one from nvidia in XP x64?

By the way, a humongous 105 Megabytes(!) for their latest drivers-installer!

Is all that crap really necessary? Geez, hope nvidia wakes up and stops forcing those huge packages upon us. I don't know anyone that actually uses all that crap they include.

Any news with the last release 257.21 ?

At first I had trouble installing it, but with a little modification to the nv4_disp.inf it worked like a charm.

More explanations if required ...

In fact I still get an error while calling nv4_disp.inf from winnt.sif : at t33 i get an error,

"Failed to install one of the core component which may affect driver functionality. The most recent driver that worked will now be restored"

Then it asks for reboot (still while installing, after t33), but i got rid of that annoyance by removing all the new words "Reboot" in nv4_disp.inf. Those "Reboot" just appeared in the last 257.21 (and maybe the beta before too), so i figured they were part of the problem, but i always get the first error.

Despite of these errors, if i don't interact and let the install complete itself, the driver seems completely installed in windows.

So maybe i just bother myself with a very little problem with no consequence, but it stills annoys me that nvidia can't help changing the install package.

They also add those lines ...

NVSupportAudio = 1

NVSupportNview = 1

NVSupportPhysx = 1
