Driver Forge with DPS packs
is an easy to way for copying DPs packs to LiveXP (and other PE1) with a ready DrF option

To use different packs, click "Browse Source Folder" and put name in the box.
To understand abbreavations on script, follow "Info Picture: Click-->"

Only
DP_LAN (main reason of this script)
DP_Chipset (size is small and no .ini file)
DP_CPU (size is small maybe works for someone around)
are available in the script .

***User responsible for PE setting to get app work and drivers install. Works nicely with Default livexp recommended


To get info for standalone, updated DriverForge script look amalux's DriverForge topic . In DrF_DPs i use DrvF v4.5.3 which best suited my tests with LiveXP.



With this script I use LAN packs with DForge (this is default for me with every created CD )
Last 2 months when migrating, luckly always success on different pc's (I guess %97 will be success)

If you dont have 42 MB on ramdrive OR if you cant suceed with Dforge, than use DriverImportPE (availabe in LiveXP project) with same 7z packages


Also i use dps sound and dps graphics successfully on my current pc (geforge 8500gt, soundmax), just for fun to see how a multimedia PE makes me feel .


But the Facts :
*
Packages are from DPs but neither DForge nor Dipe supports DPs packages (means, they dont get information from .ini file (DriverPack_xxxxx_wnt5_x86-32.ini) ).
*
As a result, dont expect DrvForge or Dipe installing all DPs supported drivers. For both utilities DPs package are a set of manufacturer packed files. (ps: DP_Chipset_ dont have an ini file )
*
On the otherhand Dipe have better support for packed files, also have better .inf installing abilities (for some cases dipe dont need lines of DPs .ini file) because Dipe use its engine to install driver, so If DrvForge fails, Dipe may succeed.
*
DrvF has a feature to make using it automatically , just double clicking shortcut at desktop is enough. That is the only reason i prefer DrvF
*
By luck , DP_LAN package only have one adding in .ini file, NV3 , so in %90 cases DrvForge will make your LAN work, and %97 cases Dipe will make your Lan work (%3 for NV3 , but maybe dipe installing that NV3 too, no sure )




Anyway, long to short , I advice anyone to spend 8MB on created CD to get a high rate chance for working LAN on different PC's

Looks very interesting! I'll be testing in my next build - Thanks for all your effort, you obviously put a lot of work into this baby

I tested it but i have a problem:i wanted to create DSP_LAN and infact in target folder everything is ok
But when i create Liveram.iso at the end of the process , the folder with driver is not present in cd
So when I boot my pc with livecd,when i use driverforge i've error since there's no driver in cd....

What's the problem?how can i solve...probably folder's name is too long or what else?

Thanks

Lancelot

is WLAN not supported by driver forge ? if no ,then how can i add it to the script ?

i am adding the same file name in source directory as in the script interface for Wlan pack . but it is not copying it .

Hi maanu,

Click "Browse Source Folder" button
Put wlan package from dps (link available on gui of script) (currently DP_WLAN_wnt5_x86-32_806.7z)
Enable the checkbox on the "Enable" list (at the left-bottom)

I'm trying to get the LAN and WLAN drivers to start automatically.

I've checked the SU and AU* buttons and it just opens on the desktop and waits for me to click start.

Is there a way to make them autostart up the app AND run automatically? Am I missing something?

Also is there a way to pass SILENT INSTALL to the packages?

i will make a tutorial very soon to use Nikzzzz's zPNP utility to do so . stay tuned.

Hi Rootman,

you are not missing something, there was a typo which is fixed now. With default settings dforge will try to install lan package at startup.

I advice not to use 2 Au* option at the same time, Instead you can pack different collections into one 7z package, change settings on gui of script and select the single Au*.......... (I hope you understand)

I guess with "SILENT INSTALL" you mean install without any gui. Well this can be achived by hiderun but personally for dforge I prefer not hiding since there can be errors on screen for auto install where user need to response manually. Also dipe (Driver Import PE) have command line switches now which should work with less (or no) gui on screen.
