I've updated the Modem tool to add support for more hardware. It now automagically creates plugins for your Modems, Ethernet adapters and Sata/Raid controllers. It could be possible to add other custom devices so let me know how it works for you.

Remember to disable the DcomLaunch plugin if you're not building with SP2 source files or your modem (and many other things) won't work.

Simply copy the "MyDrivers" folder to your plugin directory after creating your driver plugins and rebuild UBCD4WIN.

If you would like to see support for other devices (pci adsl modems, etc...) please post the ClassGUID for that hardware. As an example, here's the ClassGUID for Network Adapters:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

Please let me know how this works for everyone smile.gif

The new name of the file is HPB.exe and you can download it from http://ezpcfix.net/beta/HPB.exe

I'm not sure if I'm building this plugin right. I ran the tool from my desktop and got several errors that said: "Couldn't locate" mtlmnt5.sy_ ,mtlstrm.sy_ , slnthal.sy_ ,slntamr.sy_ ,slwdmsup.sy_ ,slmdmco.dl_ ,slmdmsp.dl_ ,slmdmgx.dl_ ,RecAgent.sy_


I'll upload a maintainance release soon that should fix this.

Thanks for making available these useful tools. smile.gif
I've tested both (not had the time to rebuild UBCD4WIN, though) and report a strange behaviour of HPB.exe as compared to Modem.exe.
Although it creates plugins for my various Ethernet NICs, it doesn't create a plugin for my modem (a Generic SoftK56 modem). sad.gif
Whereas I get the plugin with modem.exe, I get this error message with hpb.exe:
"there are no driver files loaded for that device" and no creation of inf file.

It shouldn't be much longer. Sorry for the long delay but I've learned ALOT lately about how to properly parse the inf files and the next version will be be much better.

Did I make something wrong with HPB.exe or it simply doesn't work for modems, and Modem.exe has to be used instead?
Thanks for letting me know

I had tried this tool HPB.exe in 3 different computers, but the result is same error message "there are no driver files loaded for that device". Modem.exe was working properly.
