no it is not. I am installing them that way and the controle panle will not install. I have tried on both a radeon 9500 and a radeon 8500.

1) yes you can do that by just leaving out the key it will then prompt you to put in a key for each one. 2) I'm not sure about. Maybe somebody else can answer this one.

I just switched to that but I am getting a popup right at the begining when it first boots into graphical mode but before it starts setup that says click ok to continue or something very close to that. I get this even with fullly automatic mode. This would also explain why my resolution settings were not working. I will report back shortly about autologin. It looks like it is all wokring though. I have added a few extra things but all in all it's looking good so that my default user is loged in instead of admin and everything as far as I can tell is installed as default user nad not as admin. So far so good.

ah that explains it. I have them autoinstall durring install. The control panel will install fine if I install it manualy. Thanks for the info on that again.

they are up and i sent you the link if you want to do the honors of posting it. I may have a surprise here shortly on how to get them into place without disabeling wfp.

well No I cant but hey I have one that uses the one stix put up as the basis but has been tweaked and uses this background. PIc link linky

well you could email them to me or I do believe your could ftp them into ftp.webmedic.net If I rememeber right there should be an incoming folder there. You could also send them through dcc if you know how to use irc. I just noticed somebody was leaching from my ftp server so let me know if you want you get done using ftp if you use it so I can chmod the ftp back so others cant upload to it. Right now you can uplaod to incoming as anonymous.

ack no anything but that. Um really you will have to add to your aplications.cmd adn set them up to install that way .Ah glad I dont have to deal with anything intelish.

OK I can put them up. I think I even have a way to get around windows protection without diasbeling it. I rather like it and so dont want to get rid of it.

Well I'm not exactly waht I'm looking for but the thing installed ok. I needed to tweak it slightly but all went fine. and the stuff. in commmands.txt executed fine. I cant really rememebr why exactly are we trying to do this. I did have a few little hang ups but for me it's no problem as I dont want a completely automatic install just mostly automatic. It still stopped to ask for a user. This I named exactly the same as the one in my scripts. After this it seems to autologin to the user just fine with no issues. I have rebooted a few times and it is still doing fine.

I have both shut off in the winnt.sif but I have them both shut off. Last issue is that for some reason the reg tweak does not work to shut off msn messenger as it still pops up in the task tray.

the dll's that the original poster is trying to use during install.

I looked at taht and will most likely be able to work with it but not sure yet. As for the hacked dll's I wouldn't mind having a copy if the original poster wouldn't mind putting it up someplace.

I've set up my install cd with a whole passle of drivers for different things. I have included high point, silicone image, anf promise raid/ata133 drivers. I have via and nvidia drivers. Everything seems to be working well with the drivers but here is the only catch. The catalyst 3.6 controle panel and the nvidia sound controle panel will not install. Now the nvidia one is only an inf file to activate it. For that I can use this %SystemRoot%\System32\rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 %systemdrive%\drivers\nvidia\AudioUTL\nvautils.inf so no problem there now for the hard part anybody have any ideas on seting up the installer to detect the nvidia audio and only install it if the mother board has nvidia audio. I think I have a hint how to do this but I want to run it by others first. nvax.sys is a file the the audio drivers copy to system32 so it should be as easy as checking for this file and if it is there then run the inf for the audio utils. Does that soung feasable to everybody? I'm however still stumped about the cat 3.6 controle panel. It simply wont install. I have made sure to use the setup.iss that Arronxp has listed here that he uses and it still will not do a silent install. I can still use the same trick though for weather or not to install them. Ah I still have a bunch of batch files around here for all the custom win98 cd's I made. I even have a script that will check for what drive the cdrom is I'm not sure if it will work with xp though.

OK I am about to try the above right after I burn a cd. I have done quite afew tweeks in the last few days to the installer so we will see how it goes. So far I have raid drivers working along with all my others that I can seem to find. The only thing not working is that the cat 3.6 controle panle will not install at all for nay reason and the same for the nvidia sound controle panle. I figure these are minor and will not be needed by everybody anyway. The thing for me is that I have my installer cd loaded with drivers since I set up systems at my shop and was so tired of having to install all the drivers later. SO the first cd is pretty full of drivers wich does not leave room for much else. Hence i have sp1 hotfixes and applications on the second cd. When it is all working then I will go for making a dvd of it all. I still have main batch on the first cd along with dx 9.0b, Media player, Msn Mess, and a few other things.

right i had something simmilar to that in my main_batch.cmd already thanks for the extra info about disabeling admin.

the gimp for me here

good then this is not to HKEY_CURRENT_USER ;This will allow you to autologin. ;Replace InsertName value with the Username you want to autologin with. ;Replace InsertPassword value with the password corresponding to the Username specified. [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon] "DefaultUserName"="User" "DefaultPassword"="" "AutoAdminLogon"="1" It looks like it should work ok just split the tweaks.reg up into two files and pull out al lthe tweaks that dont use HKEY_CURRENT_USER. I'll get on it I've been needing to do another install with my latest tweaks anyway.

well theres a way to find out. Since we alrady have code that creats a user and a reg file that will autolog you on as a specific user we could just simply slap that into the commands.txt and go. Actually I think it would be a good place to put almost all the stuf in the main batch. Then we would just have nothing but apps and hotfixes to install after login. But as noted before we could also have hotfixes installed from commands.txt.

I use this and it works flawlessly for most everything. I have used this method to use high point, Promise and Silicone image drivers for windows xp. I also use the driver method mentioned here to make sure that the drivers are avaialable after install also. http://www.nforcershq.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8892

does that work for only that one inf file or for any of them. I'll let you all know if it works with the nvidia sound controle panle. I have all the nvidia motherboard drivers installing correctly but not hte controle panle for some reason.

thanks.

yes I would like ot know more about this.
