i dont have a solution for the newest version. i did following:
download the newest with crap in it
delete everything besides the driver folder
go to this site https://luckybhumkar.blogspot.de/2011/09/driverpack-solution-118-all-in-one.html and download the drp16.X version, i tried it with 16.5
delete the driverfolder and replace it with the one from the newest.
modificate the 16.x version with the two things in my post before, let the programm reindex the drivers.
delete the software you dont want in 16.x

ah, i found a solution for the old 15.07 version to be online and still use the old one:

open autorun.hta, go down till the end, and replace the line
try { document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="http://update.drp.su/check/" charset="utf-8"></script>'); }
with
try { document.write('<script type="text/javascript" src="tools\update.js" charset="utf-8"></script>'); }

other thing, if you are annoyed of the database out of date thing, you can search in autorun.hta for 365 and set it up. i changed to 3650, so i've got silence for the next 9 years

maybe its also possible to copy the driver zips from the new one and reindex them. in the end you get new drivers with the old program

hi,

the new look of the DRP is confusing for me. is there a way to start it automatically in expert mode and also automatically disable all the utilities and programms.

or other way round, im fine with DRP 15.07, how can i stay at that state and still be online. it updates the interface everytime while being online

Thanks
