Works great for me, and I'll have to check whether I don't have an outdated version installed on desktop, as the portable actually returns slightly differing results (different driver counting,...) -> improvement .

[Device Doctor]

Thanks Thomas - there may be some slight differences due to the way each build can "tag" a computer to pair up driver recommendations with it, and the fact that the Portable build contains a slightly newer scanning engine.

Good Morning.

I tested DDP and I found a bug.
When DDP try scan for drivers in the computer that use internet with autentication's proxy, the program close in the end of scan. It isn't giving a html file.

Portable version seems kaput; gives me 404 errors on multiple internet-connected PCs.

The "offline mode" URL is also broken, but I guess that's a separate (less serious) issue.



Using fiddler, I've discovered that the application is attempting to POST to http://drivers.devicedoctor.com/drivers/v1/, which results in a 404 error.

I also tried the non-portable, non-bundle version -- that one gives either a similar 404 error, or a proxy error (which other people seem to be experiencing too, 1, 2, 3).

The bundle version seems to be a much newer version of the software than either of the other available formats (2.1.0.0 vs. 1.0.0.1), and works fine, but it's nowhere as useful to me as a working portable version would be.

I'm having the same experience as supervacuo. The portable version doesn't work, insisting that the internet-connected computer I'm using isn't connected. Creating the html export file and clicking therein gives me a 404 error. The installer version *does* work, but the portable version, when repaired, will be more useful to me in supporting multiple machines.

portable version does not function. I must install old version on mine pc? and then i have all new drivers? best one greets

Exact error as described by supervacuo for the portable version, with the same error message he posted.
I hope this can be corrected sometime soon.
I prefer to use a portable version for obvious reasons.

Thanks.

I have heard back from developers, the decision was just made with regrets that they'll have to abandon the portable version of Device Doctor, I'm sorry.
