Export Host Third-Party (OEM) Driver Packages

ExportHostDrv : Export Host Third-Party (OEM) Driver Packages

Usage     : ExportHostDrv.exe <Path_to_the_Destination_Folder>
Example : ExportHostDrv.exe D:\ExportHostDriver

Result


It is ~the same as : Dism /Online /Export-Driver /Destination:D:\destpath
With the list of installed drivers sorted and ordered as in the device manager
Not just the DriverStore folder (previous version included) as with dism: iigd_dch.inf_amd64_56663c64bec44963, not really speaking.
And it is faster than Dism.

The Executables, ExportHostDrv_x64(x86).exe and the PureBasic source code is available here: https://github.com/ChrisRfr/ExportHostDrv

Thanks for sharing this nice tool!

Can you clarify your statement:

It is ~the same as : Dism /Online /Export-Driver /Destination:D:\destpath

In my comparison

Code: [Select]

Dism /Online /Export-Driver /Destination:D:\destpath

yields an export of 2,323 files @1.88GB

on the same system your tool exports 269 files @1.01GB

not anywhere close to "~the same" result. 

Code: [Select]

Dism /Online /Export-Driver /Destination:D:\destpath

Export all Third-Party driver including installed drivers and also the previous versions.
So in the export, there are duplicate drivers.

ExportHostDrv Export only the currently installed driver by using DI_FLAGSEX_INSTALLEDDRIVER in SP_DEVINSTALL_PARAMS structure.
There is no need here to export the previous versions as well.

In my opinion, In Dism Export-Driver, a parameter is missing to select only the installed drivers.
or rather the opposite, a parameter to export also the previous versions in addition to the installed drivers.

makes sense now. thanks!
