@Mrgreen17 I am having the same issue with HP models for the BIOS. The drivers work. Were you able to resolve this?

[stephannn]

it seems like HP changed the file URI from
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/caps-softpaq/cmit/imagepal/ref/89d2/89d2_64_22H2.cab
to
https://ftp.hp.com/pub/caps-softpaq/cmit/imagepal/ref/89d2/89d2_64_10.0.22h2.cab

the OS version was added and the H in H2 is case sensitive.

If I understand the code correctly the issue is that , same as in the Invoke Driver Script, the function Find-HPBIOS does not separate between Windows 10 and 11. Any double checking would be appreciated.

---

Edit:
I changed the function like that:

function Find-HPBIOS {
		param (
			[string]$Model,
			[string]$OSBuild ,
			[string]$OSVersion,
			[string]$Architecture,
			[string]$SKUValue

	}

Keep in mind that I added a variable and change the name of the $OS one. Also I had to change for the download the protocol from HTTP to HTTPS, but I guess this is because of our environment.

$HPBIOSDownload = Find-HPBIOS -Model $Model -OSBuild $OSBuild -OSVersion $OSVersion -Architecture $Architecture -SKUValue $(($global:SkuValue).Split(",") | Select-Object -First 1)

@XchoK you are correct the drivers are working but the bios for hp models are still getting the error. I have not resolved this.

[XchoK]

@stephannn Where did you change the http to https? Thanks!

[stephannn]

@XchoK ,
I did this change here:
$BIOSDownload = "https://" + $($HPBIOSDownload.URL)
right below
# ================= HP BIOS Upgrade Download ==================

I was just too lazy to put a global variable for http or https. I also published my changes here:
#474

[korpx]

I confirm this is still a problem for downloading HP BIOS
@maurice-daly can this be fixed in the Master branch?

The tool gives the invalid URL;
https://ftp.hp.com/pub/caps-softpaq/cmit/imagepal/ref/8b50/8b50_64_22H2.cab

While this appear to be the correct URL;
https://ftp.hp.com/pub/caps-softpaq/cmit/imagepal/ref/8b50/8b50_64_10.0.22h2.cab
