    Thanks Helmi. I have been there and tried that several times and I cant get it to work for me. My hardware in not unusual and I have tried every interpretation of the instructions I can fathom, and yet I cant get a bootable cd that had usable drivers made with it. I will admit that it was a month or two ago, and when I was at the main site there weren't even instructions on how to use the software. I found the instructions that were packed inside the Driverpack and followed them I tried to register to the forum to do a little research but for some odd reason I couldn't get the registration page to accept my email address(yahoo).!?.!?

    That's all very unfortunate; I'm sorry to hear!

    So far, from my observations, it worked for most people that tried it, however, there are always (mostly minor) problems.

    Ususally, folks repost them in the forum or our bugtracker so they can get sorted out.

    Too bad you weren't able to register!

    If you are still interested, pass me your email address and I will forward it to our Admin (I'm a Mod over there, btw).

    Then, you can tell us in detail about what didn't work for you.

    Also, please mind the new, English (old one is Dutch...) Tutorial you can find here:

    http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=1449

    (I think you can view it even when not registered).

    That should cover most of all issues methinks (I was involved in its creation)).

    I am open to trying it again, although not extremely enthusiastic. I would be interested in hearing about your integration methods. tools and techniques. I have another topic that i started that deals with this very issue and I would love to hear about your experiences. I spent the last 15 minutes trying to make a link to the thread, but I cant figure out how to make it happen, and its past my bedtime. :sleeping_03anim: Thanks for the suggestion Helmi.

    We're using a utility called the BASE based on AutoIt scripting language to integrate the drivers into the source.

    There are two methods you can chose from, M1, where the drivers will get CABbed (though not included in drivers.CAB but separate files), allowing Windows to natively access them.

    This, however, greatly limits the amount of drivers you can include (Windows bug/limitation).

    Also, it will take up a lot of space on your source disc.

    M2 uses a fake setup in which 7-ZIPped files are being extratec to your HDD.

    That way you can make use of all DriverPacks; and it's also faster.

    After the basic driver files are copied (INFs, SYSs etc), the Finisher takes over and, well finishes the rest.

    Its tasks are installing Control Panels to the drivers installed (so you only get these which HW you have in your system) and cleaning up your system.

    You can also chose to Keep the Drivers which means that all driver files, currently used or not, are saved on your HDD.

    Windows is then made aware of this so when you install new HW (and detection the wizzard pops up), it will automatically be installed, provided the driver was already in one of the DPs.

    That's true Plug&Play, if you ask me :)

    I appreciate you taking time to respond. :welcome:

    You're most welcome :D

    Hopefully, that answered most of your questions so far.

    I'm afraid I will take this too far off-topic if I go on... :/

    Hopefully, you will be able to sort out registration problems so we can continue this discussion on the dedicated boards!

    Hi MrNxDmX,

    Yesterday I got to try the English only version on my non-virtual machine.

    Program crashed(exactly as it would in VMWare) until I got my display drivers installed(ATI catalyst Control Center v7.6).

    Hi, check out the link in my sig if you want to remedy at least that problem :)

    Can I share an addon made from someone else's switchless installer....

    Well, if in doubt, I would first ask the creator about permission - not the site where you want to post them ;)

    If they agree, or already did so by having a note on their page/app saying they even want this spread, then I think you are more than ok to go.

    As for credits, use the name that was given by the creator, do not rip any readmes or other notes from them and mention the creator in the post about it.

    I can't speak about specific rules applying to this forum, but that above is more or less the general consensus regarding posting/spreading anything on the net :)

    EDIT:

    Also, never disregard the useful stickies ;)

    Thanks, I will give that a try, then.

    Unfortunately, I won't make it to testing your addon today :/

    Still trying to get all AddOns updated (you figured I'm using not too few, I guess ;)).

    At least I took this as a chance to create a table for quicker reference.

    Still doesn't beat any auto-update feature but better than having to crawl through all of them each time I want to create a new UWXPCD...

    Wow, you're very quick! :D

    I will test ASAP, preferrably tonight (just in the process of checking for updates on all my other AddOns, will create the ISo afterwards) and report back then.

    A German pack would be nice, as I am using the German version of VPC, however, I do not mind mixed languages that much as long as it does work ;)

    (which remains to be seen...)

    That said, I'm wondering in what the addon is language-dependand anyway, seeing as it does not seem to change any GUI entries or such...

    *shrugs*

    Thanks a bunch anyhow!

    One day I'll havw to sit down and get into creating my own AddOns, I guess :D

    Too slow, really?

    Personally, I couldn't find much of a performance difference between VPC and VMW, however, somehow I like VPC more.

    And yes, it does require a similar software to install the missing device drivers (sound, GFX, etc) as well as enable drag&drop from host to guest and mouse interaction.

    I'm currently uploading the files for you, if you need them ;)

    [Release] K-Lite Mega Codec Pack 4,34

    in SVCPACK Addons

    Posted · Edited by Helmi

    Changelog from 2,10 to 2,15:Changelog from 2,15 to 2,20:Changelog from 2,20 to 2,25:

    I wont remove v2,15 from the thread, as they removed QT alternative from newer versions.

    Unfortunately, they did, however, you can still get the stand-alone QuickTime Alternative pack:

    http://fileforum.betanews.com/detail/Quick...te/1049831315/3

    Wouldn't it be smarter to create an addon out of that and have it integrated before the Mega Pack?

    That's the way I install them manually (you will have to uninstall the older pack such as 2.1.5 when you want to install 2.2.5, so it would automatically get rid of QTA as well).

    Also they removed lots of mpeg stuff from 2,20 with 2,25, so i wont remove 2,20 from thread, too.

    Also true, but not as severe as the other.

    In fact, the (mine, at least ;)) favourite MPEG decoder, Cyberlink (is capable of GFX card HW acceleration) is still in the Mega Pack.

    And you can get the rest of them here:

    http://codecguide.com/download_other.htm#klmpeg

    Again, could be turned into another AddOn, I guess ;)

    Oh, and before you'Re getting me wrong, I don't like the splitting off all this stuff, either.

    There's a reason why this pack is called MEGA and it used to contain ALL the stuff.

    If you want it slim, there are four other pack version available so I totally not understand their motives behind cutting it all out... :/

    [Release] SCSI Pass Through Direct Drivers v1.56

    If I'm already using a DT AddOn with an older version of this, do I integrate this before or afterwards?

    Also, using nLite to slipstream my AddOns, how do I tell it this (not manually editing the answering files, if possible)?

    That said, if this is too complicated, could I ask you to create a full pack using the latest DT in conjunction with this SPTD? ;)

    Hey, what's an easy way to recompress the CAB?

    I suppose makecab would work, however, I wouldn't mind if it was somehow possible to add that feature to 7-Zip (which can by default only uncab, not recab :/).

    EDIT:

    Ok, and if I'm using makecab, how do I tell it to use all files in the current dir?

    Wildcards (*.* / *) do not work... :(

    Index of ALL my addons [30/04/2010]

    in SVCPACK Addons

    Hey, thanks for all these addons!

    I'm using about a handful of them, but I noticed that the following addons

    • NeroCDSpeed
    • Media Player Classic
    • Sysinternals

    are being placed in C:\Program Files rather than %programfiles% which means they will not use the defualt program files folder on a non-English OS.

    Since I am running the German version, I'd like these to be placed in C:\Programme, something that could easily be reached if you used the system variable rather than a fixed path.

    The same goes for the start menu, however, that is not as critical bercause I can move those links easily without having to alter the path to the EXEs.

    It would be absolutely great if you could apply this little (I assume) change so all international users will profit from it =)
