671260 - Install DirectX and upgrade NVIDIA driver to latest version on all Windows 7 x64 test slaves

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Release Engineering :: General, defect)

Description

[Armen [:armenzg]]

Since we have a small pool of slaves and their jobs are hidden will be an easy task to do.

Following steps as in bug 624044.

This should help making some test failures like on bug 633047 go away.

This got deployed. I just put the slaves back to the pool.

The 5 talos w764 slaves should now report numbers closer to what was expected and start passing some unit tests.

The timing was bad as I run late on my day and won't be available all the time to answer questions.
