Promethean Activdriver 4 now on web

[tosca925]

Ok just tried to allocate the new driver to a machine that has the old one installed and it failed so yes you do need to remove the old one first.

Thanks Plex for this, saved me a lot of time now,

There are several manual things you need to uninstall driver 2/3

You can do it manually on the machine or.

1. Remove the activdrvservice service from services
2. Remove the contents of C:\program files\activ software\activdriver\
3. Remove the key
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run \Activcontrol
and
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run \Activfilter
4. Remove Activdrv.sys and Activdrv_usb.sys from
c:\windows\system32\drivers.

I think you will have to do the above without the board attached and do a reboot to get rid of the service.

Thats the driver, Im not sure about the installshield stuff as that gets everywhere.

I think i'll give this a miss, unless someone can come up with a script that automates this lot above. Looks like they'll have to wait tiill we recall tehe laptops back in for a updated image. (which i guess will be for Vista anyway)

I take it the driver is compatible with Vista?

No idea, will try it tomorrow though I hope so as if its not, and not certified for Vista Windows probably won't let it start at startup and need a manual start, or windows modifying to let it start.

There are some changes that are needed to make it run on vista, I will check if we can let the beta out for testing.

Cheers for that info Dan, I won't start the Vista box up tomorrow with it then.

ok I used this to remove 3.03 driver, you can find the product key from the registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ACTIV Software\ACTIVdriver\ProductCode

http://support.installshield.com/kb/...icleid=Q106685

IDriver.exe /M{Your Product GUID} /uninst

They appear to have used v9 for the 3.03 driver

then after running this in a script on out laptops force a reboot and the AD assigned MSi installed perfectly.

Presumably that's just a Visual Basic runtime component - any idea where i can get it please?
