Happy Birthday to our WinCert friend Legolash2o!
Have a great day Liam, and thank you for everything you're doing for Wincert.

Yes, very clear now. Thanks!

I like it. But the black category titles & unchecked apps disappear into the dark background of the upper left corner. I'll have to play with the CSS to change the font color but those settings aren't in the "Theme" settings. Maybe a higher contrasting color or a light "window bar" for the black titles.

Yes, thank you!

Just a quick question for v8.2.1 (now available).
Is there an easy way to to determine the OS arch?
getArch()
Usage: getArch()=="AMD64"
Returns: x86, AMD64, or IA64 (Itanium).This will return the arch of the processor, not the OS. So if I use the above discriminator on a AMD x64 CPU system with a 32-bit OS installed then my x64 apps will get installed (and crash).
Did I miss something? I read the WPI Info.txt and the changelog but I didn't see anything for that scenario.
If WPIW isn't coded to detect that, how do you guys work around that problem?
Thanks Kels.
Hang in there!

Go for a single 6870. At the resolution you plan to run, you'll get nowhere near saturating this card. Even at 1680x1050 (sweet spot for 22" panels) you'll be fine. The 6870 is quieter than the 6970, which would sound like a dustbuster. Anything higher would sound like a jet taking off.
Later, if you need the extra power, you can get a second 6870 for peanuts in a few months.
According to this review, the 6870 is faster than Nvidia's fastest single GPU card.

Although, if you NEED the most power you can afford, ALWAYS go for the more powerful single card that your PSU will support. Never overwhelm your PSU.

RVMi is so much better than nlite. I had problems also until I stopped using nlite a few years ago.
I've also found various problems with OnePiece's work, so I've stopped using anything with OnePiece's name on it and I now have zero problems.
Kel's right. Sometimes running these older utilities in a Win7 environment can cause their own problems. XP in a VM is one way around the problem.

i integrate this addon + .net framework 1.1 using rvm integrator.. my copy is an Windows XP Professional SP3 x86 (clean)..
Are you sure you're using SP3?
WIC and MSXML6 have been removed from the installer but is of no issue as they are included in Windows XP SP3.
Make sure you're not removing WIC after all the integrations are completed.

Kindly fix the .net framework 4.. There is an error pop-ups regarding .net framework 4..
What error? This addon works perfect for me.
Do you mean these Event viewer errors?

1) I left everything alone on the SSD except for the large files/directories.
2) If your image will fit, then cloning the disc could save you a lot of time. I just did a clean install.
3) On my 120GB Vertex 2 I use symbolic hard links to map very large directories to my 750GB drive. As an example, my C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps folder is 25GB on its own.

This leads me to a question, i've already tried to integrate the drivers into a previous image that I've fiddled with, which installs correctly in my VM, however I've noticed I've got a 12 gig DriverStore\FileRepository folder in my image. Brings my entire install up to 22.9 gig.
Is there any way I could reduce this folder's size? I'd really like to be able to integrate the entirety of the driverpacks into my disk (Iso image is only 4gig so far, quite acceptable) and have it auto detect the drivers during the windows install (or first boot).
Sorry, I don't check this thread 50 times a day!
At DriverPacks, we don't recommend integrating all the packs into Win7 for precisely the reason you pointed out. The DriverStore folder balloons in size from the integrated drivers. That's just a waste of space in my opinion.
For my own builds, I only integrate Chipset & Mass Storage (and sometimes LAN). That's all. The rest I install with my SAD2 script. This keeps the DriverStore folder size to a reasonable level.
DISM can't be used to add/remove drivers from an online image.
There may be a way to script a driver "cleanup" using pnputil.
>pnputil -?
Microsoft PnP Utility
Usage:
------
pnputil.exe [-f | -i] [ -? | -a | -d | -e ] <INF name>
Examples:
pnputil.exe -a a:\usbcam\USBCAM.INF -> Add package specified by USBCAM.INF
pnputil.exe -a c:\drivers\*.inf -> Add all packages in c:\drivers\
pnputil.exe -i -a a:\usbcam\USBCAM.INF -> Add and install driver package
pnputil.exe -e -> Enumerate all 3rd party packages
pnputil.exe -d oem0.inf -> Delete package oem0.inf
pnputil.exe -f -d oem0.inf -> Force delete package oem0.inf
pnputil.exe -? -> This usage screen -
Would you please tell me how to get "HWIDs" ?
I try to be many places. Sorry to hijack your thread Legolash2o.
-
Another question: 11.06 version Graphics Mobile on the driverpacks site insistently "does not recognize "NVidia GeForce 230m"
If you are having problems with our DriverPacks, post a note in the support forums at driverpacks.net with your HWIDs and I'll look into it.

Simply adding them to the boot.wim (index 2) is sufficient. Win7 doesn't use "textmode" like XP did. It uses a PE environment. Only Mass Storage drivers need to be integrated into the boot.wim, no others.
-
Yup, page is fixed and 3.0.0.18 is online at www.xptsp.com
Thanks!
-
LE: And if someone from driverpacks sees this post - please make distinct versions of driverpacks for 7 and vista!
We won't make separate vista/win7 packs, but I'll fix the "wrong driver for boot.wim" bug in the next Mass Storage DriverPacks release. Thanks for reporting.
But really, you should have reported this bug over at www.driverpacks.net
-
MR_Smartepants, are you responsible for the driver packs?
If you are, then please PM your MSN address
Yes, you've got PM.
I was simply pointing out the fact that W7Toolkit > Downloads > DriverPacks was not providing complete instructions/information to a user.
DriverPacks were Bit Torrent Files - not mentioned; A script had been created - not mentioned; Installation on an installed/running system was required in certain instances - not mentioned.
Wim Leers (owner of DriverPacks.net) asked Legolash2o to specifically limit the DriverPacks download information and remove the direct download links from the W7toolkit. Shortly after that, we moved to a 100% bittorrent distribution so the original problem (ad links) was removed. None of the scripts I wrote are required (or used) by the W7toolkit.I hope this clarifies things a bit more.

@ChiefZeke, I think you're confused as to the nature of my scripts. I'll explain better:
SAD2: Designed to be executed on a currently running system (online), either NT5 or NT6, and UPGRADE the drivers on that system. SAD=Stand Alone Drivers disc
Support forum: http://forum.driverp...id=41590#p41590
Integration-scripts: Designed to inject/integrate drivers into a NT6 .wim (offline) file using DISM.
Support forum: http://forum.driverp...pic.php?id=5199
You have to make a determination on whether you want to add drivers to an online or offline installation, and select the correct method.
Please take your DriverPacks-specific questions to our support forums. Legolash2o's toolkit works as it's meant to.
As to the bittorrent files, I think we explained it rather well in the current News post: http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=5253

Edit: Forgot to ask... Using these scripts for all official driverpacks and windows sp1 updates will iso fit in a dvd-5?
I don't know, I never integrate ALL the DriverPacks. I only integrate Chipset, Mass Storage, LAN & WLAN. I use my SAD2 script to install ALL the dps post-install.
-
I wrote some scripts to do exactly that!

So the links to Windows 7 ISO downloads, hosted by Amazon.com and Digital River posted on "My Digital Life" are illegal, even though they have no cracks, or keys?
Yes. If you download software you haven't purchased legally, you are committing online software piracy.
MDL is a known haven for pirates.
By posting the direct download links, MDL (and the user who posted) are circumventing the online purchase system. It's the circumvention that is illegal, not the links.
That's the equivalent of posting the lock combination to your local banks' vault.
Digital River is the approved/authorized online distribution host used by M$ themselves.
Purchasing a TechNet subscription is still the cheapest method of legally obtaining not only the images, but the keys as well.

I'm guessing they're trying to move people from Vista
That's not as difficult as you may think!
