hey Yes, this is very possible. Check-out this site

Okay, it's clear now, thnx

Thanks for the fast reply This works like a charm Could you tell me a little more about when to use the &? I am confused now Thanks again

Hey guys In have a question about autoIT. I want to mount an image with Daemon Tools. This on itself isn't a problem. Run ("C:\Program Files\D-Tools\daemon.exe -mount 0,D:\Install\battlefield\BFV_1.iso") The line above works. The only problem here is that I use an absolute file path. I want all file patchs ("C:\Program Files\D-Tools\daemon.exe & D:\Install\battlefield\BFV_1.iso) to be relative. With the program file patch this is easy: Run (@ProgramFilesDir & "\D-Tools\daemon.exe -mount 0,D:\Install\battlefield\BFV_1.iso") Now I want to get rid of D:\ . For this I want to use @ScriptDir How do I put this inside the line? Edit: I tried it like this: but the Daemon tools tells me that the image can't be mounted Run (@ProgramFilesDir & "\D-Tools\daemon.exe -mount 0,@ScriptDir\BFV_1.iso")

@ Bashrat: I guesse you are right, I never thought about that . Now you told me this, I wondered why It wasn't called during my last slipstream. I think I found the answer. Check-out BTS_DPs_Slipstreamer_Vxxx.cmd you will see: %IE% BTS_DPs_auto.cmd START BTS_DPs_auto.cmd Now the file you use is called BTS_DPs_autocopy.example.cmd

Hey I tested BTS_DPs_autocopy.example.cmd and there where quite some errors inside. Here are some fixes to make it work: old version: :Step_2_auto_activated REM ### Copy everything. ### ROBOCOPY "%FOLDER%" "%UWXPCD%" *.* /E %RS% REM ### Execute RUN_ME.cmd, the third and last step in the slipstreaming process. ### CD /D %UWXPCD% %UWXPCD%\RUN_ME.cmd New version: :Step_2_auto_activated REM ### Copy everything. ### SET RS=/NS /NC /NFL /NDL /NP /NJH /NJS SET Folder=%CD%\UWXPCD_ROOT %CD%\FILES\ROBOCOPY "%FOLDER%" "%UWXPCD%" *.* /E %RS% REM ### Execute RUN_ME.cmd, the third and last step in the slipstreaming process. ### CD /D %UWXPCD% %UWXPCD%\RUN_ME.cmd Nice script Bashrat, if we keep going this way I will get lazy because I don't have to do anything anymore. and it will be your fault

Hey Check out this post. Here it is shown how to make a permanent variable for your CD drive

New Creative audigy 2 driver available. from version 1_84_55 to version 1_84_55R1 It is dated 12 May 05 It can be downloaded here

Hey I think this topic could help you out. Good luck!

@RogueSpear It's not totally rock solid. This method doesn't work when you have double filenames in your archive. For now, we know no way to tell drvindex.inf which file to use. This leads to crashes (and possibly corrupt installed drivers). This method works great as long as there are no duplicate filenames inside. schalti method doesn't have this problem. Then again schalti method doesn't work with .CAB files, and it doesn't work in presetup.cmd (and I believe it doesn't work with detacheprogram either.) If we could somehow solve this, we would have a perfect method to both install, and preserve the drivers.

@d0ublezer0 This is a known bug with V. 5051 It is fixed yesterday. Bashrat released a new fix (nr.3) You can download it here With this program you can install non-signed or non-WHQL drivers without a problem

@TheeBeets It is possible, but not recommended.You need your computer to reboot before you can use the variable. Just use Coolsights2000 advise and execute the batch at T=12. my wpi.cmd looks like this: @ECHO OFF cmdow @ /HID ECHO. ECHO Calling WPI ECHO. start /wait %CDDRIVE%\Settings\config\wpi\WPI.HTA exit Please note that I changed the name of my variable!! If you use Coolsights2000 example, change %CDDRIVE% to %XPCD% !! I agree

I tested it with a format and it works great I did it like this: - I created CD-path.cmd in the $OEM$ folder, for me it looks like this: ECHO Set CDROM Path During T-12 Stage Stuff for %%i in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do if exist %%i:\cd.txt set CDROM=%%i: set WINPATH=%CDROM%\ REG ADD "HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Environment" /v "CDDRIVE" /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /d ^%WINPATH%^ /f - added the following to cmdlines.txt: [COMMANDS] "CD-path.cmd" It works like a charm. %CDDRIVE% Is now a permanent variable!! I would recommend this to everyone

Hey Should this mean that we now have a perminent variable?, that would be superB EDIT: I tried it, it works great I haven't tested it at T=12 but I run the lines in windows, rebooted and the variable is there. THANKS ALOT!!!

Personaly I don't intergrade hotfixes. I like to install them later with WPI, the same goes for regtweakers and applications aswell. For device drivers, I use Bâshrat the Sneaky driverpacks, which works great. There isn't much off a difference installing from a harddrive, or from a cd. The biggest difference is that you should'nt RyanVM's update pack.

@Ghostrider Yeah, it looks great

This is the only downside to this way of installing. When I use RyanVM's pack I get an error at T=15. It happens when you install with winnt.exe or winnt32.exe, when you install from a CD all goes well I really recommend it! It is so much faster than when you use a CD!! Your $OEM$ folder is copied much faster, your windows install will be much faster, and your apllication install faster

Hey BAM I'm afraid you can't hide it. It is build inside SetupCopyOEMInf.exe Maybe you can ask Pyron for a version where it is hidden. Anyway, I like to see installation Windows. This tells me A. that it is working (or not ) B. My unattended must be a lust for the eye aswell B)

Hey, Welcome to MSFN Yep, this is very possible. Infect, this is the purpose of this forum. Since your new here, I would like to advise you the following: - read this guide very well. All your questions are inside there - Use the searche function on this board. Your questions have been asked before. I think you will manage. For now, your in learning mode Good luck!

Hey Yes, this is very possible. I do it myself aswell (I install from a second harddrive) Check-out this topic

@Toolman See my fix here EDIT: Method 2 + 3 are the same here

@Toolman Have you tried Bashrat's fix?

I found another example here

****, I always understanded this wrong then

I found a link that might be off help. Although it is for NT 4.0 I think it will give you an impression I found it on the Microsoft site, click here good luck!
