ok... even with the modified au3 file i had the stalling. i think i am going to change the method to a batch script. again, i'll test it (good thing im off today) and i'll post results. gimme another 2 hours.

I'm not ready to take that sitting down. This start/stop problem didn't exist before pssuspend. I'm trying my modified code to see if that helps- btw cyberloner, - which code did you use?

@g8way2: No $1 folder. Follow the instructions in the first post of this thread. the unattended guide is for a different method. this is the autoit method. @hp38guser: I tried your autoit code in this post but setupcopyoem was paused for some reason... i have modified the code and am retrying now. i'll post results in an hour or so, and then if it works, ill update the first post.

you shouldn't... I've installed printers and mice after installation, and never was asked for the u-DVD. i havent tried a HDD, but i imagine it would be the same. if someone knows otherwise, let me know.

First of all, the current first-post method works fine for me... Those who have problems: it's caused by having too many drivers, so setup continues without finishing the scan? [Am I correct that this is the problem??] Second, hp38guser: Are you saying pausep.exe (along with the modified autoit script) solved this problem that I just mentioned? Also, is this pausep.exe a full version or a demo? (and can you send it to me so I can test it, and update the first post?)

I'm using Meedio 1.37. I cannot find anywhere that the program saves the registration info. I've tried using regsnap, I've tried searching the registry for my serial - all come up with nothing. how can i silently register this program?

@erik1983: I have no idea. I have a laptop, and have used this method countless times without problems. I have my Display Drivers on my CD in the Drivers folder. My laptop is a Toshiba - what do you use? are the drivers in the right place?

@toyotomola: using your MSI, I still get the picasa loading up in the systray even boot-up. can you stop that for your next msi?

@nite0859: It's kinda off-topic. This topic is not making driver packs - it's to provide a METHOD to install drivers you ALREADY have. BTS can decide for himself what to do with your post - although get the feeling that his pack is pretty inclusive already...

HashTab is a Windows shell extension which adds a tab called "File Hashes" to the Windows Explorer file properties. The tab contains the MD5, SHA1 and CRC-32 file hashes. These are common hashes that are used to verify the integrity and authenticity of files. Many download sites list the MD5 hash along with the download link. The HashTab makes it very simple for Windows users to check these hashes on any file on the system without using external tools. http://beeblebrox.org/hashtab/ Just use the /S switch: hashtab_setup.exe /S

[edit] Solution posted below.

Updated first post. For those of you who have been following this thread, the method is the one posted on the previos page by hp38guser (here). However, I call the autoit file Drivers.au3 (as opposed to presetup.au3) to avoid confusion. But all proper changes are in the first post. Follow the directions in the first post, and it will work perfectly. (I've tested it.)

I will do a real-world full test sometimes in the next couple of days. If that works, I'll update the first post.

have you tested THIS one? is it confirmed to work?

Ok, I am going to test this on my next U-DVD. A small explanation of the code: CMD = Starts a new instance of the Windows XP command interpreter /Q = Turns echo off /C = Carries out the command specified by string and then terminates FOR = Runs a specified command for each file in a set of files. /F = Filenameset - Each file is opened, read and processed before going on to the next file in filenameset. %I = First Variable name IN (%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\$WINNT$.INF) = location to search (aka - "set") DO = Specifies the command to carry out for each file. FOR = Runs a specified command for each file in a set of files. %J = Second Variable name IN (%I$OEM$) = location to search (aka - "set") DO = Specifies the command to carry out for each file. (IF EXIST %J = Specifies a true condition if the specified filename exists. (%J\Autoit3.exe %J\presetup.au3))) = run presetup.au3 using autoit3.exe

yea, the msi makes things easier...

any way to disable the picasa system tray thing?

Did you extract the files form the download? this method looks for the INF file...

@totoymola: yes, that is clever. however, it poses a problem. i have firefox as an optional install - some systems will have firefox and others will have ie open when picasa is done. i dont want a ton of code, i wanted a simple switch (if possible)... i appreciate you help, but are there any other ways?

the /S worked great - except one thing - the program opens and also an internet window opens after the install. any way to stop these?

bump

how'd you extract the msi? usually right-click using winrar works, but i dont have the option...

are there built-in switches? if not, can someone provide the auto-it script?

NOW we're talking! My only question - how do i use this? is it still %CDROM% - as in: start /wait "%CDROM%\firefox\firefox.exe" ??
