I just tried importing host drivers on version 2024.9.10073 and it doesn't seem to be working. I did this under Windows 7 x64.

That function is working fine on version 2023.11.9477. Not sure when it became broken.
 
You should attach a copy of your preset, and a list of driver sources, so nuhi can try to reproduce the problem.
 
There is no preset for this particular issue. I can load up any unmodified image (Windows 7, Windows 10, Windows 11), not have a preset, and hit Import host, and nothing gets imported. This was reproducible on a laptop and a desktop running Windows 7 x64. I could probably get the same result in a VM, but I don't want to waste an activation on that.

The feature works fine in Windows 11.
 
Confirmed. I'm on W7, and Import host thinks about it for a second...and nothing.

nuhi Any chance of this getting fixed? I often see you you saying that you should never use an older version of NTLite, but that seems to be the only option to get this feature working in Windows 7 right now. I don't think it needs to be a "good and proper" fix either. Can you just wrap the old code from v2024.4.9853.0 in an if statement and have it run that if it's a Windows 7 host machine?
