Hi just a simple question i think is the network wizard main network page on WPI 8.03 there to enable users to be added to the unnattended startup? if so, do i need to add any other information to add users anywhere else or is the wpi network wizard user interface the only place i need to add users? the reason i am asking is i have tried to map a network drive with a vbs script, the script works on the machine but once i use the same script during unnattended install i get a error saying something like I have a problem with permission? the following is the VBSscript Dim WSHNetwork Set WSHNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network") WSHNetwork.MapNetworkDrive "y:", "\\Nas400_743260\business" I think its because i am starting my machine as default administrator and not the user who has access to this mapped share. thanks in advance for any help

Dont know if I can help but I have a asus p5ad2 premium board and have raid drivers load without intervention in a unattended install i have 4 sata disks using raid 1 + 0 ie 2 striped then mirrored Is this what you require? just re reading your last post if your sata raid disk is not being recognised you need to go into the bios and set the raid disk as the boot disk what raid are you using? 1,0,5 etc

Just a bit confused! do I remove my entry from runonceex.cmd and then put this entry in cmdlines.txt with my script instead?

How? Do I need any other software?

Hello everyone I am not sure if this can be done can you test to see if a certain piece of hardware is in your machine then based on this test i hope to install the device drivers and any other programs associated with it i have 3 pcs with different graphics cards and want to use runonceex to install the correct graphics drivers etc, but i first need to find out using code which card is installed the cards i am using at the moment are ati radeon and nvidea geforce x600 any help would be great thanks in advance

just a test to check last comment hi there hope this works [\code] oops wrong slash try again [code] hi there hope this works yipee You learn something new every day

Thanks for your replies Sorry i have been out of action for a few weeks and thanks for the welcome the sleep.exe that is mentioned, is this a internal command? that i can use? can you please tell me more about it? also can you give me a bit more info on this bit of help cmd /c "PathToFile\file.cmd" is this a line to add to my code to solve the problem? thanks again

can any one tell me can you make runonceex batchfile wait until one installation is complete before progressing to the next installation thanks for any help or pointers

Hi I wonder if anyone can help I have used the runonceex method to install various applications ie intel chipset software network drivers installation package ati catalyst control centre and drivers etc my problem is that upon each application running 'some times' it seems that the next application starts before the previous has completed. or so i think! this seems to happen with my chipset drivers which need a reboot to complete installation, the chipset drivers need to be fully installed before anything else is installed! also one of my applications stops and pops up a window asking for further input but the rest of the applications seem to carry on running so my question is 1 is there a way to pause/stop execution of the next application until the previous application has completed 2 is there a way to use conditional syntax in the batch ie if something = yes the run the next application else skip it my runonceex batch is listed below cmdow @ /HID @Echo Off SET PP=%SystemDrive%\Install\ SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Programs" /f 'Note The Words All Pcs Means this installation should be made on all pcs 'All Asus P5ad2 Motherboard Pcs 'Installs The Chipset drivers this needs a reboot hence the -b switch(must be installed before any other drivers REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Intel Chipset Software Installation" /f REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%PP%Intelchipset\INFINST_AUTOL.EXE -A -b -s " /f 'All Asus P5ad2 Motherboard Pcs REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "Marvel Yukon network Card Driver Installation" /f REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%PP%YukonNetworkDrivers\SetupYukonWin.exe /S /V \"/LIME %WINDIR%\YukonInstall.log REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qn"\"/f 'this will remove marvel yukon drivers 'REG ADD %KEY%\003 /VE /D "Marvel Yukon network Card Driver removal" /f 'REG ADD %KEY%\003 /V 1 /D "%PP%YukonNetworkDrivers\SetupYukonWin.exe /S /V\"/LIME %WINDIR%\YukonInstall.log 'REMOVE=ALL REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qn"\"/f 'REG ADD %KEY%\004 /VE /D "Marvel Yukon network Card Driver repair" /f 'REG ADD %KEY%\004 /V 1 /D "%PP%YukonNetworkDrivers\SetupYukonWin.exe /S /V\"/LIME %WINDIR%\YukonInstall.log 'REINSTALLMODE=vomus REINSTALL=ALL REBOOT=ReallySuppress /qn"\"/f 'All pcs REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "Microsoft.Net Framework V2" /f REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%PP%MicrosoftNet2\dotnetfx.exe /q:a /c:\"install /q"\" /f 'All Asus P5ad2 Motherboard Pcs REG ADD %KEY%\035 /VE /D "Cmi 9880 high definition audio package" /f REG ADD %KEY%\035 /V 1 /D "%PP%CMIaudio\setup.exe /S" /f REG ADD %KEY%\040 /VE /D "Catalyst Control centre & all Drivers" /f REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 1 /D "%PP%Ati\6-2_xp-2k_dd_ccc_wdm_enu_30152\setup.exe /s /w:wait " /f 'All Pcs With nividea geforce 5300 graphics cards (Should be both shop pcs) REG ADD %KEY%\041 /VE /D "Nvidea GeForce 5300 Graphics drivers Installation" /f REG ADD %KEY%\041 /V 1 /D "%PP%Nvidia\setup.exe" /f 'poss add the /s awitch for silent install above 'IF EXIST %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\atiddc.dll REG ADD %KEY%\040 /VE /D "RadClocker" /f 'IF EXIST %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\atiddc.dll REG ADD %KEY%\040 /V 1 /D "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\ATI\RadClocker\RadClocker.msi /qn" /f 'REG ADD %KEY%\045 /VE /D "Ati Catalyst Contol Centre" /f 'REG ADD %KEY%\045 /V 1 /D "%PP%\ATI\ATICCC.msi /qb /norestart" /f 'dotnetfx.exe /q:a /c:"install /l /q" REG ADD %KEY%\050 /VE /D "Windows Media Player Installation" /f REG ADD %KEY%\050 /V 1 /D "%PP%WindowsMediaPlayer10\mpsetupedp.msi /qb" /f ' REG ADD %KEY%\060 /VE /D "Nero burning v6" /f REG ADD %KEY%\060 /V 1 /D "%PP%Applications\Nero\Nero-6.6.0.18_no_yt.exe /silent /noreboot /no_ui /sn="myserialnumber" /write_sn" /f 'All Pcs REG ADD %KEY%\070 /VE /D "Adobe Reader 7.07 Installation" /f REG ADD %KEY%\070 /V 1 /D "%PP%AdobeReader7\setup.exe " /f REG ADD %KEY%\075 /VE /D "Microsoft office xp pro" /f REG ADD %KEY%\075 /V 1 /D "%PP%Applications\OfficeXP\SETUP.EXE " /f 'try this for norton internet security REG ADD %KEY%\080 /VE /D "Norton Internet Security 2005" /f REG ADD %KEY%\080 /V 1 /D "%PP%Norton\SYMSETUP.EXE /qn /norestart" /f EXIT

i am trying to do a silent install of geforce nvidea grahics card drivers it is packaged as a installshield product but i am unsure what i have to do? I have used the runonceex method for a few application installs but keep getting into a jumble! the actual application for installing the drivers is called lets say "bobs installation" this as i can see it unzips all the files needed for the program to be installed including a setup.exe file. should i point to bobs installation or the setup.exe file created after files have been unzipped to silent install? also would i be right in putting all the unzipped files into the oems folder say oem/install/nvidia/whichever program! and then pointint to the created folder/files or will the install package do this for me? this is what i have in runonce at the moment but it just dont work!! REG ADD %KEY%\041 /VE /D "Nvidea GeForce 5300 Graphics drivers Installation" /f REG ADD %KEY%\041 /V 1 /D "C:\Install\Nvidia\setup.exe" /f any help might make my hair regrow!! thanks in advance
