does it need .net? Just curious my iunstaller installs it really early on so it would be there but not maybe for most others.

ok yes it is not so much the drivers but it is the inf files as they are what has the vvender and device id strings in them the driver files are the same for them all. This board has some very strange device strings the board identifies itself as a raid device but loads the regualr ide drivers. or maybe the other way arround it is very strange.

sure

you poor poor person. Ok here is the audioutils.cmd. It needs more testing I would really like to know weather or not it works as I have not had the chance to test it yet on bare mettle. CLS @echo off cmdow @ /hid ECHO. ECHO Installing ATI Control Panel for Catalyst 3.6 ECHO Please wait... IF EXIST "%systemroot%\system32\ati2evxx.exe" (start /wait %systemdrive%\drivers\ATI_cat3_7\cpanel\Setup.exe -s -f1"%systemdrive%\drivers\ATI_cat3_7\cpanel\setup.iss") ECHO. EXIT again google for cmdow it jsut lets me hide the window while it works. if you dont want that jsut delte the line at the top like this cmdow @ /hid. this looks to see if radion drivers have been installed bu looking for one of the radeion dll's if it has been isntalled then it installs the ati controle panle. I must admit here that i have ever been able to get it to install though. HTose stupid install shield apps. now here is for audioutils. CLS @echo off cmdow @ /hid ECHO. ECHO Installing Nforce Audio Controle Panel ECHO Please wait... IF EXIST "%systemroot%\system32\nvax.sys" ( start /wait "RunDll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection %systemdrive%\\drivers\\nforce\\AudioUtl\\nvautils.inf,DefaultInstall" ) ECHO. EXIT it does the same way as the ati drivers this one however I have had no problems installing. Well that is it installs fine when I call it directly but same as above it needs testing to make sure it is finding the nvidia drivers correctly. Let me know how it goes for you. If it is not quite right I will try to tweak it to work.

For english us here I removed lang also. It worked just fine.

it does echo but the >> outputs the command to a file that it called sysprep.cmd and is in your windows startup folder. The next time windows boot it will run that file which will start sysprep for you and then the sysprep.cmd will delete itself. yes I ment to delete install but keep drivers.

sorry I ment to leave the drivers and delete the temp. You never know when you will need those drivers again.

no that bit of script i just gave you will make it for you.

no I put it the way I intended. It will cause your system to have to reboot once more but on the last reboot it will use that sysprep.cmd to run oem\sysprep.exe

maybe something like this ECHO. ECHO Deleting Temp Installation Files... RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\Drivers ECHO. ECHO Installing Sysprep >> "%systemdrive%\documets and settings\All users\start menu\ programs\startup\sysprep.cmd" ECHO Please wait... >> "%systemdrive%\documets and settings\All users\start menu\ programs\startup\sysprep.cmd" echo start /wait %systemdrive%\oem\sysprep.exe >> "%systemdrive%\documets and settings\All users\start menu\ programs\startup\sysprep.cmd" ECHO. >> "%systemdrive%\documets and settings\All users\start menu\ programs\startup\sysprep.cmd" ECHO del "%systemdrive%\documets and settings\All users\start menu\ programs\startup\sysprep.cmd" >> "%systemdrive%\documets and settings\All users\start menu\ programs\startup\sysprep.cmd" ECHO EXIT >> "%systemdrive%\documets and settings\All users\start menu\ programs\startup\sysprep.cmd" SHUTDOWN -r -t 60 -c " Rebooting now" EXIT

oh well this is just the beggining.

this is a feature you use to remove the product id code so the cusomter has to enter thier prodiuct id code after you ship it to them. Now the problem is that it sets your system back to a state where it is like nobody has logged in. As such it will go through the guirunonce just like the user is logging in for the first time. the easiest way to fix this would be to make sure to delete your install files after install and make sure to leave a cmd file in startup folder that would delete the registry key that starts the script and also deletes itself when done. That is I assume it uses runonce to run the batch file. if not deleteing the install files will still stop them from running.

ok hows this it wont hurt anything to leave them there.most of them are used there is only a few that are not like the tweak ui ones at the bottom. I decided not to install tweak ui from here it was to much of a pain to get going. you an get rid of these DosHere = "DOS PROMPT HERE" Edi = "01,00,00,00" SubDir = "WINDOWS" OnlineLong = "Online Services" KEY_IEXPLORERMAIN="Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main" NAME_RUNONCE= "MPCM Settings" w95u1 = "rundll.exe setupx.dll,InstallHinfSection" wNTu1 = "RunDll32 syssetup.dll,SetupInfObjectInstallAction" wu2 = "DefaultUninstall 132" AppDir = AppGroup = AppName = "My Application" CopyrightMessage = "Copyright (c) 2003.

TweakUILink = "c:\\install\\PowerToys\\TweakUI.lnk" TweakUILinkDest = "c:\\Documents and Settings\\All Users\\Start Menu\\Programs\\" those for shure. I have stipped allot of it out.

well not all those strings need ot be in there. They are left over from other things I have worked on. Sorry for my clutter. Some of them do need to be there though.

no problem. I thought the comment was going to say it's broke or something. I was going to answer "you broke it already?" it should work well I have spent litteraly weeks tweaking it all out so it works like it should. at this time I'm having no problems at all with it. I'm down to only little parts of my install now. like getitng it setup properly so that when used as multiuser they all get the same default theme and progies and stuff. And as for that the only thing left is turing on quick launch for all user by default. after this sis working. I'm starting on the next version of my scripts were I'm going to slipstream dx9.1 into the install. Ah the joy of it all. I'm also going to add a few more little progies into the mix.

I only saw that once when my batch file was not located in the right place and so it did not execute at all. After I moved it to the correct location the next time I rebooted it ran but it only did it once.

OK this is a quick how to for inf files. Guys it's pretty easy the inf file just puts a bunch of registry settings into runonce and then executes it. If you can hack the ole registry this is more or less the same. As for the rest of the file leave it alone. Ok here is a inf file I use from the cmdlines.txt to install non critical micrsoft updates. This would include dx9, .net ftramework, Movie maker 2.0, Sun Java 2, and a few of my driver things. (Note the driver stuff has not been fully tested yet but should work just fine). Here is the cmdlines.txt wich you place under $OEM$ so it should be $OEM$\cmdlines.txt [COMMANDS] "RunDll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 0 .\Setup.inf" that will run the first inf file and it will run durring the graphical mode of setup. this is placed right next to cmdlines.txt so it should be $OEM$\setup.inf ; ; Version 2.0 ; Copyright : © 2000,2001,2002,2003 ; by Brook Humphrey (bah@webmedic.net) ; for Mobile PC Medic OEM systems ; [version] signature = "$CHICAGO$" Compatible = 1 AdvancedINF = 2.5,"You need a newer version of AdvPack.DLL!"

IN a few palces in there I still call cmd batch files to do some of the grunt work. I found this was needed for any application that uses install shield to install with. Now for my user.cmd this setups up my user account so at the first login you login as the user you want to login as. I didn't like the way at the head of muy install folder it was getting a bunch of files in it so I put all hte batch files and installer stuff including hot fixes and whatnot unser $OEM$\$1\install\system\ This is were I also placed everything that I install in the inf file above it makes my install folder look much cleaner. SO you should have. $OEM$\$1\install\system\ user.cmd cmdow @ /hid CLS @ECHO OFF ECHO Adding Default User... net user User /add net localgroup "administrators" User /add ECHO.

Just search on google for cmdow and you will find it. For me I placed this file under $OEM$\$$\system32 that way it is available very easy to all my batch files. Now the next part is Reg_Root_tweaks.reg. This is also under install\system. I use this file to set any of the default that I want to be used by all users on my system. For the most it should have anry registry setting that you use that are not hkey_current_user. Everything else should be in here.

My spelling is off sometimes.

Oh I agree that it would not install onto itself more or less but as for msi under normal install it's pretty easy.

ok never mind my babelings above but whatever this is it only does one or the other but not both as the drivers are not there to do both raid and regualr ide controler stuff. Ok i added some more vender strings that are in one of the other files that go with this device. I'll uplaod a drivers.cab here in a second. It will be the same link as above.

no I understood that. that is what the program does I wanted a way so that it would not do a countdown but just start working with no delay and without waiting for user input.

ok update I jsut looked through all the files with that set of drivers and it only includes the fastrack drivers witch are not the promise raid drivers so this is only a normal ata 100 ide controler. It wll not do raid at all. For promise he raid drivers use ultra.sys and not fastrack.sys. also I just noticed the device strings are really strange for your drivers. For all the others the same device string as in yours they are assinged as a raid device but in yours the device string is a regular ata contoler. This controler card is very strange were did you get it? If i was to guess it was a failed bach if raid contolers that they didn't want ot throw away so they hacked it to work as a regular ide controler but it still identifies itself with a device id as a raid controler but then only loads regular ide drivers. This is the strangest controler i have seen.

ok one more thing is this a sata raid device or only an older ide raid device? from the drivers I would say older ide raid device. not only that does it do raid at all? there is no driver asigned for raid in the original inf file. Did you hack the inf files in any way? If you did purchase this card hoping for raid and these are the original driver files well you have way to do raid with them. They can only be used as a regular ide controler.

hm let me think. Yea could you have an auto mode were it wont stop and ask it will just start installing stuff. THat way it could work either way and it could just be an option in the ini file.

well it's just an msi you can install those very easy.

alright I'll see. That is during the text part. make sure that for the winnt.sif you also add the IDE_RAID directory to your oempnpdrivers path. Let me look at it again. The inf file for them was very strange. and the funny thing is that it is hte smae hardware as is already there. The identfication strings are just different from everything I have seen before.
