Windows XP Driver Deployment Utility

Please use this link to download the Ultimate DDU Utility (Approx 1.59GB).

This utility allows for fully automated installation of drivers and appropriate software for most Stone branded desktops and laptops from 2009 to early 2013.

Usage:

  • Extract the package to a CD, USB pen drive or network location as appropriate
  • Run "install_xp_drivers_now.bat" on the machine that requires installation. This will initially copy the packages to a C:\Stone folder on the local machine, and then execute the installation. This method is usually recommended. Drivers need to be copied to the machines local C drive as USB and network devices may be restarted during the installation.

OR:

  • Extract the package directly to the C drive of the machine to be installed
  • Run "install_xp_drivers_now-no_file_copy.bat" - this will start the driver installer from the current location. This method isnt suitable for running directly from a USB key or network location as the installer may become unavailable when these drivers are installed.

Note: See the related articles to check which models are compatible with this utility, as this utility shares its code with the DDU for CC3. 32-bit Windows XP only supported. This utility will install Windows Installer and Dotnet Frameworks as required.

Applies to:

  • Most Stone branded Desktop and laptop products produced between 2009 and 2012
  • Selected Lenovo models.
