From: Kota on 24 May 2010 10:28 Hi, Driver removal in Win-7 with DPINST Tool is not working. Here is the DPINST.log: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INFO: **************************************** INFO: 05/14/2010 05:05:58 INFO: Product Version 2.1.0.0.

As it described in help, It is not removing the files in system32, which causing driver is still accessible though the driver is removed until the system restart. Also after system restart, device manager is not cleaned and still showing the old device name with ! mark that instead of unknown device. This is not clean removal process compared to previous OS. Any other method available to clean this? Also, not sure, why is this error coming in win-7: Error code 0xE0000203: There is no driver selected for the device information set or element. Thanks, Kota
From: Luv2Hike on 24 May 2010 13:06 You asked this question before. Again, accoding to the Windows 7 WDK (as documented in http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff544775(VS.85).aspx): /d Sets the deleteBinaries flag to ON, which configures DPInst to delete the binary files that were copied to a system when a driver package was installed. Note Starting with Windows 7, the /d switch is ignored by the operating system. Binary files, which were copied to a system when a driver package was installed, can no longer be deleted by using DPInst. Apparently, there are no other way to delete the driver file through DIFx or DPInst.
