How to make sdio on...

We had a major storm through here recently and we suffered damage to the house roof and ceilings. I just received the quote to repair. I’m hoping that a small fraction of the 80,000 odd people that download SDIO and/or Desktop Info every month won’t mind chipping in a few dollars to help out. Click on the big blue button at the bottom of the page to help us keep a roof over our heads, literally!

Scripts allow you to just download and not install..

So for example..
create a new file in the same directory/folder as SDIO.exe
Call this file Anything.Bat like.. Download-Only.bat

Right click > Edit the .bat ..Copy the below text inbetween the --- and save as .bat

---


@echo off
title - Download Drivers -
cd /d "%~dp0"
SDIO_x64_R753.exe -script:"scriptsexample-script.txt"
pause
exit

-----

If you use the 32 bit version remove _x64 from the sdio name.exe

The example-script has enableinstall off.. so it will NOT install any drivers

It also Only downloads Updated Drivers for your Current Drivers/Devices..

You can change example-script to get all drivers by changing..
Get Driverpacks updates to get driverpacks all

I will also attach these two files to save you the trouble.
(If you use attached example-script, copy it to SDIOs Scripts folder.

This Comment system is abit strange..

The Change Dir Cmd it incorrect.. cd /d "%~dp0"

and so is the SDIO.exe script cmd..

It's changing my Quotation marks to.. "

So the .bat will hit errors unless you change all.. " to actual quotes :/

Also cant upload .bat as attachment so i change it to .txt.. Change to .bat extension to run it.. and it will tell sdio to run example script and only download drivers.

just click on the Updates Available button when it shows up. If it doesn't appear, you are up to date.
