tried just setting up a standard "new"config for flashpen, but came up with -

ok thanks for the explanation.. the server is already logged into from the machines for running of other batch files (program instals/customizations etc) basically i would prefer to be able to have the .exe and the .db and the unpacked drivers all on the server. with the mapping option the .exe needs to be ran locally or from a cd/pendrive

nice! thanks.. quick question about networking, does it have to map the drive to use it over the network, or can i select NO to mapping, and simply enter paths where needed? e.g would that work? the drivers would actually be on \\Servername\drivers\unpacked and the .exe would be ran from \\Servername\Drivers so the path is "relative" thanks

thanks will give it a go on monday

hi, is there anyway to get it working over a nework? the .exe & .xml file are here \\Workshop\Install and the drivers dir is here \\Workshop\Install\d i tried setting this in the .xml <drivers_drive>RELATIVE</drivers_drive> <drivers_directory>\D</drivers_directory> but when ran i get path doesnt exist (\:\d). now terminating thanks for any help, and thanks for an awesome utility, i have it working fine from dvd & usb flash.. but need network paths too if possible kC_ p.s i realise i could map a network drive and add it as a drive letter, but this process is part of an automated batch. including our preinstalled apps so unless any knows how to do this in the bacth file? 1. login to network 2. map a share as a drive letter 3. run the drivers (easy) 4. delete the mapped drive

Just set this reg entry in after the silent picasa [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run] "Picasa Media Detector"=- heres how i set mine ECHO. ECHO Installing Picasa 2 ECHO Please wait... start /wait %systemdrive%\install\Picasa2.msi /qn ECHO. ECHO Now Removing Picasa 2 Media Detect From Auto start up... REGEDIT /S %systemdrive%\install\picasa_disable.reg

yeh the switch is //LOAD /OF /CRAP /UNINSTAL /ASAP
