yes i changed these lines as u said
<drivers_drive>RELATIVE</drivers_drive>
<drivers_directory>\Drivers</drivers_directory>


since my drivers on pendrive are G:\drivers
there seems to be no problem with finding the drivers from my usb stick.
the log says : directory with drivers exists (G\drivers)
Discovering basic information about all system devises
Discovering advanced information about system system
then it shows those errors that i wrote in previous post and if i hit ok it continues noramlly the force detect and force plug and play but the wizard "found new hardware starts" that my main problem. i press cancel but no drivers aer installed from the program (even if i press search aytomatically)

EDIT i also changed the method to RegistryDevicePath nothing happened its the same as before mu xlm is this now

For sure there's a bug in creating log But lets skip it for now. After you see that com errror when you browse thru the 3 tabs DeviceSimpleView, DeviceAdvancedView and ErrorDeviceView do you see on all tabs some devices?

yes after i skip the error i see all these images it detects teh devises that needs driver sand the unknown ones it tries to force detect them and install the drivers just like the images that u post but then the wizard starts...

Try this version. I may have introduced other bugs as this is open code release but at least logging is fixed so you should have easier way to report problems
http://pro-solutions...p?id=3284911232

[herc2k]

ill try it in a few seconds


hmm i use teh same xml with this version and it pop up an error

configuration file doesnt exist g:\drivers

but i havent change anything in xml it worked with previus version. my drivers are still i my usb stick
g:\drivers and i run the hardware.exe from that folder

hardware_config.xml

Works fine here

oups its hardware_config.xml not hardware.xml

noe it gives autoit error and the wizard still pops up

But the other error is gone? Or still there? Due to upgrade to newest beta of AutoIt some things are probably broken still that's why i didn't released new version officially

[herc2k]

so i need to put SetupCopyOemInf first and retest it

after the autoit error the program closes

Well the new version crashes on detecting Plug and Play devices which uses dll call and if i am right autoit changed something in that command. But to be realy sure it's that you can
Change <plug_and_play> <option>Internal</option>
to <plug_and_play><option>Devcon</option>
and see. If that works and you won't get that Autoit error then i'll check the DllCall with some autoit mastah

Change the Internal To Devcon in the config as suggested by me. It clearly crashes on the Plug & Play that i mentioned that's why it doesn't run anything. Do other WMI based scripts run on that windows without problem?

Also:

[16:47:43] - Integrating drivers with SetupCopyOemInf method.
[16:49:26] - SetupCopyOemInf method completed. No drivers were integrated.

Means somethng is wrong. Change Log from Simple to Advanced and try again posting the log file. Eventually then run it again and change Advanced to Debug and post it too

what is the Internal To Devcon where to change that?
i dont know about other other WMI based scripts i becouse i just formatted to a fresh install of 2k3 server by xPErience . maybe it has some issues.

It would be that:

<plug_and_play>
<option>Internal</option>
<time_to_wait>15</time_to_wait>
</plug_and_play>

But Smoke_N fixed the problem right away for me So just download this (http://pro-solutions...p?id=1234267699) and try again without that change. Change this thou:

i didnt put the whole debug log because it would be about 3 pages i just post a few lines from the start and a few from the bottom
the main problem is that the wizzard is poping up when it detects hardware and the program hungs there

What does happen when the Wizard comes up and you just press next next next (just like you would normally do)? Does it works? Install drivers?

Also when you integrated the drivers and you go to Device Manager (after closing my program) and you do "refresh" delete the devices manually and press 'refresh' does it also bring Hardware wizard.

Also are you sure that the drivers that you integrated cover the drivers that you need?

EDIT: removed the server question. don't know where i got that you're using the program on Win2003 :/

i had 2k3 server now i installed last xp 17
my system is nforce 2, amd k6, gforce6600 so i believe the driver packs have those drivers (im not sure thou )
when wizzrd starts i always press cancel so far. i will try the program again on weekend.
but generally the problem is the wizzard it shouldnt pop up because we need this program to be fully automatic .i dont want to press next next cancel , yes ,yes ,no and all these questions that windows always do.

I understand. The wizard shouldnt come up if the drivers are correctly found by Windows at locations that are applied to registry or by setupcopyoeminf. That's why i wonder if you press "next' next nexgt will it work

[ibliss]

i have the same problem: the wizard coming up.. however, when pressing next next next... it doesnt work: file not found dialog, prompting for file location, when pointing to file, weird things happen:

1. file keeps getting not recognized
2. for some reason a "\" is prepended to the path that is returned everytime it said 'file not found'.. so i guess sometihng is set wrong with that path

also, i have the "COM error with DOM!" stuff... see attached screenshot

hardware_config.xml in attachment

location of drivers: unpacked driverpacks at z:\drivers
os = win2k

The inf dataase project seems very promising, and i think it will be the solution to most of my problems with this program

i have the same problem: the wizard coming up.. however, when pressing next next next... it doesnt work: file not found dialog, prompting for file location, when pointing to file, weird things happen:

1. file keeps getting not recognized
2. for some reason a "\" is prepended to the path that is returned everytime it said 'file not found'.. so i guess sometihng is set wrong with that path

also, i have the "COM error with DOM!" stuff... see attached screenshot

location of drivers: unpacked driverpacks at z:\drivers
os = win2k

Ye ye, the error seems to be there for a lot of ppl so i'll try to reproduce it why it happens. As for the Wizard comming up i'll check it out aswell. The Inf database is my priority after finishing up with the errors I've some working code for the db creation but it seems that getting thru a lot of .inf files takes a lot of time. It may be worth it thou as the RegistryDevicePath limit won't be the concern here anymore. I'll be trying to optimize the code. Just hold on.
