Need help modding NVidia INF file

[faceman11]

I need help!!!

I tried to follow the instructions by Yuki: https://null-src.com/posts/nvidia-notebook-driver-inf-mod/post.php but no luck!
Laptop: HP EliteBook 8740w
OS: Win 10
NVIDIA Graphics Driver Version: 355.85
Device ID:
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0DDA&SUBSYS_1520103C

GPU
NVIDIA_DEV.0DDA.1631.103C = "NVIDIA Quadro 2000M "

When I execute the installer, the program successfully completes System Check, License Agreement, Options, but the installer end with the "NVIDIA Installer failed".

Thx!

You messed up the "product identifier" in the SUBSYS_ID : 1520 vs. 1631
Actually you can strike the SUBSYS_ID (and the Windows build check)

Why do you mod an antiquated driver?
There is a brand new Fermi driver 392.62, which you can modify and use

Original nvhmwi.inf from 392.62 :

Modded INF

If setup.exe still fails, install via "have disk" method.

Thanks StefanM,

I did the mod as you suggested, but the install failed in the same spot. I also tried to load (update) the driver from the Device Manager, but the system stated that I had the latest driver.
Any other suggestions?

 

[StefanM]

the system stated that I had the latest driver

This message appears when do you a "manual installation" where you point to a directory.
Use the similar "have disk" method where you point directly to the modded INF file.

Thanks StefanM for the help! In addition to your great instructions, I needed to disable driver signature.

Got it working!!! -)

I know the last post is 3 years old, but maybe i get some hint.
I did all the stuff that StefanM has described. The install procedure with the "have disk" method starts but after a while a get a hashtag failure message.
(driver signature was disabled by bcdedit command before the install procedure).

This is just a quick message for maybe help for the hashtag problem.
