PRINTUI.DLL is very straight forward to use and work very well for signed drivers... however recently I have tried to use it for non signed drivers... I keep getting the 'NON Signed drivers' promt as you would imagine but thought that the printui.dll command line would allow you to make this silent... it does not it seems. Anyone else got any ideas... maybe using send keys? Anyone got the printui.dll to actuall work silenty (with non signed drivers..) Thanks

Unable to locate the "silent" switch for this instal... I've tried -R, /R, -r and a number of other switches... What are my options? Re-package the app?!

Has anyone added an explorer shell & used the wow32.dll in PE? In order to run 16bit old apps within the 32bit environment? The whole point is NOT to allow the 16bit apps but hey... Any takers on this or links?

Will longhorn have the ability to flash the system BIOS within a 32bit environment?

Thanks for responses. The PE environment is 32bit.. the dos apps don't want to know. Yep the Dell apps are an option.. to be honest as most vendors seem to differ perhaps a WMI script to cover all harware variants would be best? Any WMI boffins out there?

Hmm tricky one... bigger response? Ahh shucks... I dunno... why the pointless response?

Looking into using PE to build a test environment... the boxes are a mix of Dell, HP & IBM. I would like to use PE to boot the machines and ensure the BIOS revision levels are all consitant.. if they are not I want to flash the BIOS. Has anyone tried this? Each vendor supplys their own tools suite to acheive this but I would like to use WMI or similar... the *scriptomatic tool from M/S is nice but returns rather than allows you to change many BIOS options via WMI calls... Anyone on this ???! Please? Recap Use PE to auto configure boot order & flash bios if possible
