#Snappy driver drivers
DPS_ and DIA can’t compare drivers when they are in different driverpacks which may result in installing both drivers.ĭPS_ – devcon (works as well as Device Manager) For each device is created a list of compatible drivers pulled from all driverpacks and the list is sorted so that best drivers go to the top of the list.
SDI extracts more information from inf files and additionally processes cat files. They inspect the same information about drivers and share the same limitations.

SDI doesn’t have to use devcon because it can call the Win32API function directly.Ĭomparison of Snappy Driver Installer(SDI), DriverPack Sulution(DPS_), Drivers Installer Assistant (DIA).Īlgorithm of choosing drivers to install.ĭPS_ and DIA are evenly matched. At some point DriverPack Solution switched to installing drivers via devcon which greatly improved success rate and valid drivers no longer have to be excluded from driverpacks because they cannot be installed via DPInst.
#Snappy driver manual
It should be noted that if the same driver is installed via Device Manager, it works well and doesn’t need any manual tinkering. Even when DPInst installs the correct driver, it sometimes isn’t installed properly and needs some fixing which is usually done be Finisher. These drivers had to be installed manually via Device Manager or devcon.
#Snappy driver install
I was unable to force DPInst to install the correct driver no matter which switches were used. DriverPack Solution used to use it and I found out that DPInst was installing the wrong drivers when a more optimal driver was available. This tool is doing a poor job in choosing optimal drivers and installing them.
#Snappy driver archive
It’s faster because some driverpacks can be skipped if they don’t contain needed drivers, there is no need to process whole driverpacks if all files are found before the end of archive is reached, processing whole archive to reach a file at the end of the archive is still faster than extracting whole archive to a disk. SDI extracts only drivers which are about to be installed. SAD wastes a lot of time and disk space to extract whole driverpacks. If during installation new devices appear(happens with nested devices), SDI will do another pass to make sure it install all drivers. SDI can be run completely unattended (-autoinstall –autoclose "-finishrb_cmd:Shutdown.exe -r -t 15" ). SAD restarts the system even when it’s not required. See documentation for -finishrb_cmd: and -finish_cmd: switches. SDI is able to determine whether or not restarting system is needed and can be configured to execute two different commands based on it. SDI creates a restore point unless –norestorepnt switch is used. SAD doesn’t create a restore point when run in silent mode. SDI can do both methods at the same time unlike SAD which doesn’t allow. SAD can install drivers from unpacked drivers(method 1) or from driverpacks(method 2). SDI can figure out which drivers are compatible with the current OS without taking driverpack’s location and its filename into account. User can put driverpacks anywhere in the “drivers” folders or its subfolder. SAD requires user to put driverpacks in designated folders so that they can be found.

Snappy Driver Installer is an application for installing/updating drivers on PCs running Microsoft Windows using driverpacks or included folders with drivers.
