hey,

im not shure if this will help you with that but its very imformative and you might find some stuff regarding your questions

lol, i just saw that he also added a link to your utillity haha... nice..(under -->

i hope that helps, or at least gives you some more ideas

greetings

 

I'm not sure but if memory serves that information is given in the installation .inf (nv4disp.inf I think).

In other words contained as text within the file. It's been a while since I've checked .infs manually so could be wrong.

 

Nope, doesn't work dude. After this "partical" install Experince not working with error "Something went wrong".
So clearly need something "checked" from Miscellaneous. Tried check there NvContainer and Backend without luck.
*Full install of driver make experience working.

 

From PE header of sys-file? From VERSION_INFO resource of sys-file?

What language do you use (out of curiosity)?

 

What does the NvContainer do anyway?

 

Well it contains Nv of course.

 

We better ask NV developers, but https://www.howtogeek.com/343120/what-are-all-those-nvidia-processes-running-in-the-background/

 

You mean it contains "Nv" in its name?

 

First of all, yeah, thanks to @BetA and @AsiJu who suggested looking into the .inf.
Dumb me for not thinking of that.

Awesome!

Well, stuff like this is bound to happen, and I'm counting on you guys to find out each module's dependencies.
In your case, if it wasn't "NVIDIA backend" or "NV container", I'd try "WMI provider", "Updater core", or "AbHub".
Maybe install with all of those and see if that works and then you can work from there.

Nice one. Will see what I can get from there.

 

Hi uKER,
Nice app you got there, should help a lot of people. I just used it twice PREFECT.

 

That would be cool, but I'm not seeing it stickied.
Is it just me?

 

Thanks for the app, very usefull ,i tested with the rquired molues + PhysX , and no problemas so far.
Will be great if you can highlight the required modules, like on red color or the classic grey.

 

Glad you find it useful.
About the suggestion, I agree.
Unfortunately, the treeview control I'm using (which I had to get to support tri-state checkboxes) is quite limited and buggy.
Actually, a bug in the handling of checkbox clicking is what's keeping me from implementing the dependency checks.
If anyone knows of a free .NET treeview control that supports tri-state checkboxes and text formatting, it'll be greatly welcome.

 

WinForms? I guess in WPF you have much more control on control`s elements and behaviours.

PS Have you source file with implementation of that buggy tree? I mean we can fix the bugs.

 

Can it stop Vulkan installing?

 

While I did some stuff in WPF at some point, I don't like the idea of switching to it since I'm not that used to it as I am to winforms.
Never mind, I just got an apparently updated version of the tree and while it doesn't support text formatting, it does fix the event handling.
Attempting to alter the text rendering I guess is beyond me.
In case you wanna take a look at it, it's this one.

I guess not. It's installed as part of Display.Driver
If anyone knows how to bypass it maybe I can patch it in.

 

I will look at work. Since you have troubles with customizing I suspect that this "Tri-State-Tree-View" implementation hides these two properties of standard TreeNode:

right?

 

An ocd dream lol, I like it!
