I have not found this information in my searches. I know you can add a DUN connections using IEAK, and customize your IE with IEAK as well. However, I use the normal IE setup files because the IEAK version of IE is much bigger. All I really want is to create the automatic Dial-Up Network (DUN) connection so that I don't have to re-create it every time I reinstall Win2k Pro. So, I have 2 questions: Can I create an automatic and silent DUN without IEAK? If I must use IEAK, what can I delete from the installation source so that it is not so huge? Thankyou to anyone who can help.

I used these switches, which seem to work for everyone else: /quiet /passive /qn /norestart REBOOT=ReallySuppress And I get "Incorrect Command Line Parameters". I am just testing the installer in windows, and not running windows setup. Do the switches only work in Windows Setup? If not, why am I getting these errors? I thank anyone who can help.

I tried the folder structure with each driver in each folder, and my setup still freezes at 100% on the hardware detection. It still occurs in any of these scenarios: Each driver in it's own folder, and all folders referenced in winnt.sifAll files in original compression All files decompressed All files recompressed [*]Each driver in it's own folder, and only the video driver referenced in winnt.sif All files in original compression All files decompressed All files recompressed If I install as an app using the installshield silent install method, it works. Is there anything else I should try to install it as a driver? I thank anyone in advance.

Thank you. That worked. Is there a way to integrate it into the shell with the cascaded context menu and associate it with all archive files silently as well? Perhaps some ADD REG commands?

I have been a 7-zip fan for a while now, and was pleased to see it's popularity in this forum. I tried to run the silent install for the switches in the stickys for this forum, but they did not work. Anyone know the silent install switches for 7-zip?

Thank you for the information. That is good to know. I am using the oempnpdriverspath method. All my other drivers install this way. When I add ti4200 6693 drivers, Win2k setup freezes at 100% on the hardware detection. I am working on moving all my drivers to separate folders as recommended and will report the results. BTW, I have successfully installed them now using guirunonce. In the mean time, another question. If I do an unattended install with no hotfixes and 1 autologin, I get to the desktop on reboot. If I do so with the hotpatches, it logs me in but explorer fails to load, so I have to reboot manually in order to get the guirunonce part to work. Any ideas? If not, I'll post that question in the apps thread...

I'll be working on this over the weekend. One question in the mean time. I remember reading in "unattend.doc" from the reskit that files and folders should be in 8.3 format. $rename.txt or something like that must be used to give the files names longer than 8.3 formatted names on the hard drive. Your folder name above (and the one in the unattended cd/dvd guide homepage) is more than 8 characters. How does this work?

OK, I have tried three scenarios. In all three cases: I put the driver files in cdroot\$OEM\$$\pnpdrvrs I reverenced pnpdrvrs path in winnt.sif First, I tried it with the driver files unchanged Second, I tried it with the drivers unpacked Third, I repacked the driver files and tried again Not one scenario worked. In all three cases, setup locks when it reaches 100% of the device detection section. What else can I try?

Thank you. That link looks great! I tried putting the drivers in the folder with all the other drivers, but my setup freezes once it reaches 100% on the detecting devices part of setup. However, I did not try expanding the already compressed files first. I'll try that and hope it works. BTW, I use svcpack for dx9c, ie6sp1, and media player 9 in addition to all the hotfixes. It works for them OK. That is why I thought it might work for installing the ti4200 drivers as well.

I used the application install method for installshield: Ran setup.exe -R Copied setup.iss from winnt folder Overwrote original setup.iss with the new one Placed files in %cdrom%\i386\svcpack Manually ran setup.exe -s to test it (it works this way) Renamed setup.exe to ti4200.exe Added a line to winnt.sif: ti4200.exe /s During unattended setup (from cd), the screen blinks around the time that the ti4200 setup should be running (that's what it does when I run it manually, too), so I think it runs, but the driver is not installed when I get to the windows desktop. Perhaps I should run the ti4200 install with cmdlines.txt? Would this work? Do I have to use a batch file? I tried searching, but found nothing exactly like this, sorry if this is in the forum already...
