Works on Windows 7 X64?

[clngr]

Hello!

I've tried to run the script on a Windows 7 X64 and had no luck, even using the recommended devcon version

The script runs, says that had removed hundreds of devices and when we run it again, all the devices are still there.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

First, have you tried running the script in "verbose" mode? If not, run the script with /verbose or --verbose added to the list of command-line arguments and check for any errors in the output.

Otherwise, if you invoke devcon.exe directly, does it work? To test, choose one of the device IDs from the list of removed devices, then run

devcon.exe remove @ID

With ID replaced by the device ID (the @ must precede the device ID in the command). See if it produces any errors. If not, run

devcon.exe findall *

And see if the device ID appears in the output.

Hello kevin,

The script is running from the following BAT:

@echo off
pushd "%~dp0"

@cscript.exe RemoveDevices.js

popd
exit

I remember that I've tried running it even with SYSTEM credentials. It lists devices being removed, but they remain as nothing happened.

System was unstable, with some hardware issues too. I'll try your tips when possible since I don't have access to the system right now.

Thanks & best regards

The version of cscript that's being used (32 vs 64 bit) will affect other things, and varies based on the shell that runs your batch file. I don't recall which cmd.exe gets invoked for batch files off the top of my head, but looking into that might help.

In order to get the script to run correctly on Windows 7 x64, you have to use a new version of DevCon.exe
copied Devcon.exe Version 6.0.6000.16386 to script folder and it works on Windows 7 x64

Works great. I have DevCon.exe version AMD64 v.6.1.7600.16385 in the removedevices.js folder.

I found out that I had to run the utility this way:

Wscript.exe "[path to]\removedevices.js"
