Glad to hear it was successful! I hope to hear many more successful tests by other members as well! I really think this is turning out to be a vital tool. It will go great with my PC Data backup utility I am working on as well. :)

Updated!

Beta 5:
Fixed - A few bugs in the code causing DriverGrabber to fail finding the correct path to grab some driver files.
Changed - DriverSearch is now set to Off by default. If anyone has issues with backups I suggest they try to turn DriveSearch on and then post their log on the forum so I can make sure their drivers are properly backed up in a future release of DriverGrabber. We are still in Beta... and I'd like to have DriverGrabber functioning as well as I can without the need for DriveSearch.

Beta 6 is online now as well!
I will also be releasing my Data Backup utility (With Drivers backup) soon as well. Just a few more changes and it will be ready for a public release.
It's a great Utility for backing up needed Data from a computer before reinstalling the system and works in both a live system and a Preinstallation Environment like BartPE or LiveXP.

Latest version does'nt appear to work for me, deleted zip Beta5 and expanded folder plus grabbed drivers from 5 (which had worked) and tried new version got only one set of drivers. Which was "H:DriverGrabber 2.0Drivers?Win7SystemATK0110 ACPI UTILITY. Have I missed something?

I plan to add a GUI option in the future. But it's mainly meant to be a one click backup solution. Which would have no need for a GUI. Although it shouldn't be too difficult for me to allow an option in the DriverGrabber.ini to enable a GUI.

Yep, I also support the idea of a GUI with a big BACKUP MY DRIVERS button and (optional) path to where the app should look for them.

Not sure why it is not working for you. It is working.

But here is another link:

Thanks, same result:

Apparently it is NOD32's fault for objecting to the file-type:

I paused NOD32, and got it OK, but when un-paused the message above comes on and blocks file access.
BooHoo.

Yeah... I really like nod32... but I won't buy it because it tends to flag anything written in autoit. I think it is lazy on antivirus makers to flag anything just because of the language it's written in. :( If you don't mind... you can contace eset on my behalf and request that they not flag DriverGrabber.

Thanks,
Glad you figured out the issue with downloading it.

Siginet, Great work and glad to see this done in AutoIt. As a sys admin, I've learned to love the language.

You are real close to something I've wanted for awhile. The ability to load the host network drivers if PE doesn't have them. There are 3rd party drivers, and wireless drivers not available in PE.

Here's the scenario i crave.
-Boot to PE (I have a custom build for my environment)
-Check for network cards
-If no network card found LOCATE DRIVER from host system (DriverGrabber)
-Load new driver
-If successful, launch a remote support session (I'm using LogMeIn but could be a UltraVNC one-click session)
-This allows remote support for crashed systems and I could just add the PE to the Windows F8 boot menu to load the PE image I've built.

The fact you have PE support is wonderful. I would already know the SOURCE Windows folder of the host (C:\ or D:\ if there's a system reserve partition) but I need to pass that to DriverGrabber. Maybe another parameter stating that I only want to back up "Network Adapters" even if it is a Microsoft driver, there isn't much for wireless drivers in PE.

So, what would it take to add a couple more parameters to the .INI file?
SOURCE=D:\Windows
DriverType="Network Adapters"

Again, thank you for your support in the community.

Glad you like it. :) I will be adding many new options for the DriverGrabber.ini as well as command line switches in the near future. ;)

Are you still updating this?

 

Is it possible to save the respective driver/files in the subs where they belong instead of grabbing all drivers/files in root for the respective driver folder name?

 

When using WinToolkit it will complain about missing drivers when trying to intergrate drivers to the windows iso because it's looking for subs strings, i then have to search manually for those files in windows and look what sub folders they are in and then create and add files there before it will accept them.
