  1. Could you double check the "Brother devices" in hardware support, having it unchecked no longer seems to keep the unidrv.hlp file. EDIT: Might be more files, the installation got confused after that...
  2. Yes I know that all the files are in the archive, I ended up using 7-zip to extract the files and launching DSFP_inst.bat from runonce. All I'm saying is that on my systems, executing the unattended file (double click, from command prompt, from runonce, etc.) results in the error message about missing DSFP_inst.bat.
  3. There is a problem with "DirectShow FilterPack 2.1 (Unattended)*", it complains that the DSFP_Inst.bat file is missing, I'm assuming there's a problem with the argument for the path or something (requires quotes because of the space maybe?)...
  4. Thanks for that filter pack, it seems to work great with ZP and saves me from installing all those individually! Any reason you did not add AC3XForm as it seems to remove the XForm and Monkey audio from the unsupported format list... In your description you mention: Have you considered droping an email to ZP's author so he could add them to the internal filter formats database? Any thoughts about having and extended version with the QuickTime/Real alternative and AC3 audio part? With so many versions of ffdshow floating around, I do understand the reason for not including that one...
  5. You could try forcing a monitor install using devcon as mentionned in the thread: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...1155&hl=monitor
  6. What I use is the multiple winnt.sif method described at: http://www.911cd.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=3352 This way you could run alternate version of runonce or such depending on the option you chose at the cd-shell boot menu...
  7. Should you find a way, let us know. I have a PC connected using DVI to a HDTV, the problem is that between the text mode and the last reboot where guirunonce gets executed, it just won't synch. It's not a big deal as I have another PC to test my unattended CD, but being able to get the ATI driver active earlier (or even stay in text mode longer) would be nice should something go wrong...
  8. Not sure if that would work, but what about disabling the MS firewall during installation via a services.reg loaded in cmdlines.txt or such and re-enablling it after ZA is installed (via another registry file...)?
  9. Nice little program! I haven't reinstalled with all my drivers compressed yet, but for the USB-UIRT driver found at: http://www.usbuirt.com/support.htm the .inf file also gets compressed... Regarding the various software to backup existing drivers, your script does not seem to be compatible with the way Double Driver creates the .inf... Or maybe I just got unlucky with mine, all I get in the sub-folders are the .inf files, the actual .sys files or such are not touched at all.
  10. If you are using a RunOnce.CMD or such, you could look for the appropriate driver of the cdrw/dvdrw, something like: if NOT exist %systemroot%\system32\CD-driver.abc goto NoCD start /wait Nero.exe :NoCD Of course if you install many brands or if the burner and non-burner use the same driver that might not help much...
  11. Thanks for the links and infos! For now I've paused a bit the work on that W98 CD as I managed to get something close enough to what I wanted with batch files and I used it on 2 persons' PC successfully. I have to admit that my enthusiasm droped after my installation went from 20 to 30 minutes moving some stuff (like .NET framework installation) from batch files to runonce...
  12. Open the .CAB file, it contains only 2 files, a .exe and a .inf... So you can probably just use WUCrUpd.exe /Q:A /R:N or such...
  13. Except that /v, /d and /f are not valid options with the REG ADD from the Win98 resource kit and result in a too many command-line parameters error...
  14. I decided to try again the REG ADD route, so I got the REG.EXE file from the Win98 Resource kit. It does not quite have the same functionality as the Win XP version, but it is close enough. I can't seem to modify the (Default) value with REG ADD, which should be something like @... So I guess I will need to also load a normal registry file with all the name of the programs/patches I want to install. At least the REG ADD takes care of the %windir% variable, so that's the important part. REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\zz100] @="Dot NET Framework v1.1" [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\zz110] @="directX 9c" ...
  15. Thanks for the various suggestions. Too bad that the REG /ADD function is not defined in Win98, I use it in Win XP and it makes all those things much easier. I did consider using the ECHO >> trick, but that seems a bit messy if I want to add alot of entries that way. So it looks as if using some .inf files will be the easiest way to do what I want. Is there a complete list of the LDID (%10% and such) somewhere? There is a partial list at the online Microsoft Windows 98 Resource Kit (appendix C), but for example there is no mention of the startup folder... And yes I do put my install folder inside %windir%, makes it easier in batch file since I don't have to use tricks to determine the partition of that folder...
  16. I am trying to make my Windows 98 unattended CD as generic as possible, so I was wondering if there is any way to use some variables in a .reg file... Basically, I would like to replace: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\zz100] "1"="C:\\windows\\Install\\netfx.msi /QB" @="Dot NET Framework v1.1" with something using a variable like %windir%: REGEDIT4 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\zz130] "1"="%windir%\Install\\netfx.msi /QB" @="Dot NET Framework v1.1"
  17. Thank you kukris, I used the method you described and all went well. I checked how I was doing it in Win XP, and basically the NET command was doing the equivalent of the various TweakUI steps. There is a NET command in W98 also but it refuses to run from DOS, so I had no luck getting it to work with RunOnce...
  18. I am having the same problem... I was already using the lines that Vic mentionned. My guess is that you need to fill the password in advance, otherwise Win98 asks for it... I know that my unattened XP CD sets the passwords and such, so eventually I will go back to it and see if can be done in Win98 too... For the people wondering what's the big deal with that first logon... In my case, it's the difference between having all the patching/software installation done automatically after the scandisk phase or having to come back to the PC half way through to hit enter and wait another 5-10 minutes for the completion...
  19. Did you really put the files in that folder and renamed them with the corresponding filename?
  20. Hmm, I guess that might work... Your best bet is probably to ask the people that made reducing tools like nLite and the other batch files about it. Who knows, they might be interested to adding that too if they see some interest...
  21. A simple trick is to use winrar to open the via*.exe file and get access to those inf files...
  22. If you are sure to include all the right monitor drivers that you might need, I guess you could use the method mentionned by bonedaddy and maybe remove even more default/plug and play monitor detection... This way it would have to fall back on your new drivers instead. It would probably be tricky to find out what to remove though...
  23. Thanks Tyke, that method did the trick! I got the devcon file from MS site and the .inf monitor file had the internal model name of the monitor. So I ended adding this to my cleanup.cmd (the start /wait is probably overkill for that but...): start /wait %CDROM%\Apps\devcon update "%CDROM%\Apps\Hitachi_50v500.inf" "Monitor\HTCD7A6" I tried the bonedaddy/Cydine method but it did not work in my case.
