Driver packages

[KeithDib]

At present I have two driver packages, one for XP the other for Windows 7

 

I want to change this to one for each make or model [not decided yet]. I know how to do this part with WMI etc

 

what I cant do is get the existing drivers to show in the new driver packages. The drivers have already been imported as the message says but I thought these could be is more than one driver package?

 

They are in the Windows 7 package for instance but dont seem to want to also show in the HP driver package

 

is this normal?

 

cheers

A driver can be part of multiple packages. When the driver is already imported, just right-click it in the console and add it to a package. A query to use in this situation, to apply the driver package to the correct device, is Select * From Win32_ComputerSystem Where Model Like '%Model%'

SO, I cannot re-import the drivers that are already there, but only select add to driver package?

 

To right click in them all would take a while and I would need to know exactly what drivers for each machine

Well.. there is a hotfix to address the "issue" of importing duplicate drivers, see: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2213600
