Windows 10 and Office Excel

[DocAElstein]

General notes…attempting to summarise



The files found by the cmd prompt way are very small in number compared to any other way , and appear to be almost all the files found by any way for the graphic card, (Intel(R) G41 Express Chipset (Microsoft Corporation - WDDM 1.1) ). These are types dll , bin , vp and just one bin and one cpa
That is approximately 20 files out of approximately 60 files in total for the cmd prompt way. The remaining 40 or so files are not to be found in the list from the Device Manager Properties . They are of the type
sys 1
dll 7
bin 2
bag 1
xml 11
js 3
gdl 1
cab 1
ini 3
cat 4
inf 4
pnf 4
gpd 3
exe 1
Only the graphic card info was in the list from the Device Manager Properties

For the Double Driver List we see in addition files belonging to
HP OfficeJet Pro 8720 PCL-3
HP OfficeJet Pro 8720 PCL-3\amd64
So some more types were found. These are types are one of a sys, cpa , bag , gdl , cab, exe and a few dll, bin , vp , xml , js , cat, g pd
The remaining files not to be found in the Double Driver are
dll 1
xml 3
js 1
ini 2
cat 2
inf 4
pnf 4
gpd 1

So the list from Command Prompt things seems to contain very little.

So I did do a quick check of cmd against drivers and DriverStore
Nothing at all was found in drivers. The entire files were found in DriverStore grouped in a very similar way..
_._________________
From Device Manager Properties we have 120 files, with 5 different types
sys 95
dll 13
bin 6
cpa 1
vp 5
Total 120
From DoubleDriver
The full list from Double Drivers looks like this
sys 128
dll 49
bin 3
cpa 1
vp 5
els 1
inf 81
ini 107
cat 4
gpd 29
xml 27
gdl 2
js 3
dpd 0
cab 1
bag 1
ppd 1
exe 1
dpb 4
Total 448

Here we look at the files from Device Manager ( that are in Double Driver )
sys 95 (70)
dll 13 (11)
bin 6 (2)
cpa 1 (1)
vp 5 (5)
Totals 120
Most of the missing files sys are for “WAN Miniport”

Looking back at Double Driver we can list the extra files that it has compared with Device Manager
sys 78
dll 38
bin 1
inf 81
ini 107
cat 4
gpd 29
xml 27
gdl 2
js 3
cab 1
bag 1
ppd 1
exe 1
dpb 4

Making comparisons to the large Folders, drivers and DriverStore..
I fear I may have been a bit of a twat initially as I have matched a lot of things in de-DE, and not checked to see if they are also further down.
These were the results:
Device manager in drivers
sys 95 (46)
dll 13 (1)
bin 6 (0)
cpa 1 (0)
vp 5 (0)
We should note that almost all paths found from the Device Manage Properties ( apart from a few audio and most of the graphic files) show a drivers in the path. Never the less not all are there.
Lets see how it changes by doing it right with the find next… it should not, since a find next analysis will just give an extra possibly – and actually we find that all ( but my china USB ) are indeed in the de-DE Folder, and they need to be matched to an extra .mui

Time to do a find next on the DriverStore:
In this case, all the files in the dn-DE or en-EN folders have the extension inf_loc So we would not expect to find any files from Device manager there. Duplicates in Driver store, were mostly seen manually, but just to be sure we start again with this macro, ( which did the italicising for the match in place of the colouring which is maintained for the match to drivers , and an underline if the cell was already coloured / matched to drivers ), http://www.excelfox.com/forum/showth...ll=1#post12409 , and add the next bit, then start again
Thus was the conclusion before were OK, but I will add the find next an repeat it. So I modify this macro first
