I’m compiling a list of these sort of oddities into a bucket of things to potentially do in the future to improve the product. ☺ Aaron From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com<mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com> [mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Timothy Ransom Sent: Friday, January 9, 2015 7:21 AM To: mssms@lists.myitforum.com<mailto:mssms@lists.myitforum.com> Subject: [mssms] RE: driver package mayhem Here is an option from Microsoft support that I use.

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.

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...............
