  • 1.  DeployAnywhere Driver Database crashes when adding a new driver

    Posted Jun 12, 2012 06:36 AM

    Hello,

     

    When I try to add a new driver to DeployAnywhere Driver Database in Deployment Console 6.9 it crashes all the time.

    This is what I do:

    Tools > DeployAnywhere Driver Database Management

    Add new driver...

    Browse for catalog with driver files

    Add a name

    Select OS

    Click OK

     

    Error screen:

    Could anyone help with this? I can't add new drivers, and I need to do it cause there is no driver for a NIC card that is being used in our company.

    Thank you in advance.

    I would like to know what is the driver you are trying to add ? If its possible can you share the same (Or the web link from where the driver can be downloaded) ; Also whether you are adding multiple driver ?

    Assuming it's a supported driver type (we don't do EXE's for instance) then you could simply create the folder structure necessary for the drivers (along with the INF file and all that) and then drop the folder into the file system.  Then launch the console and see if it picks it up or fails again.

    The simple truth is that when you add drivers via the console, we build a sub folder, copy the files in, and extend the manifest file.  If you copy the files in manually, once you launch the console piece, the manifest file is recreated anyway, so if that works, the net result is identical.

    Generally speaking.  I've never had a complaint about it yet.  :P

    If we have a duplicable error with a driver, we need to know that.
