so i did the trick of adding the blank text file to each directory in the
source folders, then reimported.
this has worked, and some kind soul wrote a batch file for the purpose, still
such an irritation, in what is a mature product.
thanks all

I have also seen this numerous times. Usually what fixes this is if you add the
ini field under drivers and delete any duplicate ini names and THEN create a
driver package the 0 byte size issue goes away. Good luck, this can be an
aggravating problem.

?TS was failing, tracked down to 7 driver packages with 0 bytes in size.
Seen this before, thought you just updated dp's and off you go, no dice.
So I have deleted all the driver packages, and the package folders (they were
blank too)
Re-creating a new driver pack for the hp 6005, wizard, says yes, package folder
is empty.
DriverCat log says, this driver has already been imported for each inf it finds.
Stuck - what now, I'd delete the drivers (under drivers) but some are shared
with other models that work.
Is there a route forward, or ditch them all and start again...............
