Why can this driver install loop not be fixed?

[AlHill]

Users have been experiencing this graphics install loop for months now; possibly a year.

Here is the issue:

• You install the latest DCH driver.  It installs successfully.
• It asks you to reboot and you do.
• After the restart, you confirm the driver is correctly installed.  It is.
• A couple of minutes later, the driver install window pops up and asks you to install.
• You ask yourself “did I not just install this?”.  You did, and select “cancel”

Ok.  This has to be fixed.  And, quite honestly, that this problem has existed as long as it has, through as many DCH updates as it has, is ridiculous.

Driver 9126 wanted another install after reboot.

@Bryce_Intel Any idea when the new installer will make its debut?

DCH 9316 was just released.   The new installer is still missing, the old installer still loops on restart, and there is no mention of the new installer in the "known issues" of the release notes.

Within the next couple of releases I would hope, though I can't formally commit to anything unfortunately. I can't wait!

@Bryce_Intel    It has been more than seven months since my first post, and the new installer (or a fix to the old installer) has not been released.    It is just an installer.   Give me a fridge full of sodas, pizza, and snacks, and I can put one together for you over a weekend.<G>

Hey Doc,

You cracked me up! Next time we'll have the fridge and pantry stocked for you!

It's been confirmed this is lined up for our next production driver which is targeting release within the next couple weeks.

Thanks for the update.  

You know, for an old programmer, a weekend is an enternity in which anything can be accomplished.<G>

Careful Bryce, Al comes to Oregon to visit us from time to time. I can only distract him for so long (took him out to the Coast the first time; it was the Painted Hills, Newberry Crater and Crater Lake the second time). He just might unexpectedly show up at HF looking for Mary - and that fridge...   ;^)

You know, it has been boring being locked up for more than a year now...    Maybe time to start thinking about another excursion.

See! See! All you gotta do is give him wiggle room...

Not only that, but if Bryce makes the mistake of feeding me, I may not leave.<G>
