Question search through directory for useful files?

[bentom123]

Hi all,

I am currently working on a project that I have started for my company.

I would like to create a VB.NET application that will copy all drivers for a particular OS to a directory on the hard disk. For Example, D:\ (the cd drive) will contain all the device drivers for all OS's. If I am running Windows 7 OS, how will I copy the device drivers for that particular OS to the Hard drive?

E.g. If I insert an ASUSTek disk, and I am running Windows 7 x64, I want to copy all the drivers for the PC that are designed for Win7x64, not for xp or any other OS??!!

Anyone have any ideas??

VB.NET code is just a means to an end. You have to know exactly what the code needs to do in order to write code to d it. If you want code to identify useful files then you have to know how to identify useful files. What exactly is it about these files that will tell you that a file is useful that you can write code to identify? If you don't know what you're looking for then you cant write code to look for it.
