If no drivers use WDF, then there should be no harm in having them installed or not. Just like any updates in the repository, it is up to the discretion of the person installing them whether they want to use them or not. What suits one person doesn't mean it suits everyone else using the repository, such as not installing these two updates. If these updates are causing issues with you, and you don't know which driver is causing it, then it makes common sense not to have them installed. If you do know what is causing it, seeing if there are later drivers may help to resolve the issue. If a driver uses WDF, you can supposedly use the Windows 8 driver if you have these two updates installed (well, the Kernel mode update). In general though, you should be able to install it fine on a live system. Integrating it might be more of an issue as not all updates play nice doing this.
The scan on Sunday will be canceled. Probably it will be on Wednesday if everything will work out as expected. Two of my hard disks got broken and I lost all of my data. Yesterday I purchased new hard disks and now I am installing all the needed software. It's all f_cked up because I have to get all the software again.
Everyone will if they're installed Komm used the sensible approach to these updates. Give it a couple of months and these issues won't be a problem closer to/after Windows 8 is officially available and Windows 8 (and hence WDF 1.11) support is in full swing.
Registry Entries I was wondering if I could get some clarification on the registry entries that are being added/used for associated hotfixes (not tweaks etc). I am about to make a new integration today and was going to use: 2732072 enable.reg, 2743013.reg and KB2668751.reg Is this correct and/or am I missing any?
MS FixIt Info This question is similar to my registry question. I was wondering if I could get some clarification on the MS FixIt entries that are being added/used. I am about to make a new integration today and was going to use: MicrosoftFixit50470:: MicrosoftFixit50531.msi:: MicrosoftFixit50688.msi:: MicrosoftFixit50848_KB2665946:: MicrosoftFixit50877.msi:: MicrosoftFixit50897:: MicrosoftFixit50907.msi:: MicrosoftFixit50908.msi:: Is this correct and/or am I missing any?
Thanks to komm for the findings.
