New drivers are out. Let's give them a try nForce4 AMD v6.86

It should work with a UDF file. But it uses winnt.exe or winnt32.exe If you want to use it as a normal install with only a winnt.sif. You should alter the setup timeline. Normally after the txtsetup it starts setup.exe etc etc. You should make an batchfile named setup.exe and write a script that knows what computername to use and starts winnt.exe. @rem SetupMgrTag @echo off rem rem This is a SAMPLE batch script generated by the Setup Manager Wizard. rem If this script is moved from the location where it was generated, it may have to be modified. rem set AnswerFile=D:\i386\unattend.txt set UdfFile=D:\i386\unattend.udb set ComputerName=%1 set SetupFiles=D:\i386 if "%ComputerName%" == "" goto USAGE D:\i386\winnt32 /s:%SetupFiles% /unattend:%AnswerFile% /udf:%ComputerName%,෿ile% goto DONE :USAGE echo. echo Usage: unattend ^<computername^> echo. :DONE I think something like that.

@RyanVM Yes it does. I use it

I know. Still trying to get it too work

Gr8 I'll give it a try

Search is your friend Unattended Windows Introduction

Or try Unlocker http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/

You can install Core Force Silent by using : CoreForce.exe /S /v/qn

I don't think that will work. You will need an XP Pro key or an Corporate key. Maybe you can try to alter WinXP's setupp.ini an use the Home key. But I give you a small chance it works. Good Luck

Ok. but the IDE package is the important one. I believe its needed if you have a raid set. And I have 2. But I will try and maybe I can found a workaround for the IDE package. Thx for the work

Nobody ?

First of all, Computer 'A' has a printer attached and computer 'A' is set up to share that printer. Computer 'A' can ping to 'B' and vice versa. File and printer sharing is installed. I those conditons apply then you can install the printer on Computer 'B' Installing the printer on 'B' is something you know. I hope. But If you don't, In explorer on computer 'B' goto my network places and in your workgroup find Computer 'A' If the printer is shared properly then you will see the folder printers. doubleclick and voila your printer. rightclick printer and connect. I hope this is right. good luck

Hi there I've extracted the nforce4 AMD Package. (Deleted NAM.exe) Then ran the setup with -r switch. Copied the iss file to the setup directory. With 7z created a compressed file. and with a sfx and config.txt (code below) created an exe. ;!@Install@!UTF-8! RunProgram="Setup -s" ;!@InstallEnd@! ISS File [InstallShield Silent] Version=v7.00 File=Response File [File Transfer] OverwrittenReadOnly=NoToAll [{EFB7D050-CAD2-11D4-B34D-00105A1C23DD}-DlgOrder] Dlg0={EFB7D050-CAD2-11D4-B34D-00105A1C23DD}-SdWelcome-0 Count=1 [{EFB7D050-CAD2-11D4-B34D-00105A1C23DD}-SdWelcome-0] Result=1 The new executable works fine. But. There's always a but. After the installation it reboots. I don't want him to reboot. Because its in the middle of my runonceEx. Is there a way to stop the reboot. Is tried to add some entries to the iss file. Like SdFinished - reboot etc etc. No luck. I must say i use bashrats' driverpacks. thus the chipset drivers are installed. But I question myself of the SW IDE drivers are installed. Cause after the unattended installation my pc freezes a couples of secs when it's busy. After a normal setup of the nforce4 package, all works fine. Nevertheless I hope someone can help me out.

I use this for my setup. Maybe this will get you where you want too go. The new setup.exe [NSIS installer] Setup.exe will extract the file StartX.exe to %SYSTEMDRIVE%\TEMP and runs the File. StartX.exe is a compiled CMD file. This file will start an other executable which will decrypt and extracts temporary files that I need for the unattended setup later. The important thing to remember is that the process setup.exe (the fake one) doesn't terminate. This will end the setup of XP. Hope this will get you started. Glim BTW: XP can autopartition your disk trough winnt.sif.

@ Lou Jacob I've read somewhere that XP cannot be installed on only a raidset. I meant 2 drives configured as raid and no other drives (SATA/IDE) present. Try the same setup but add one nonraid disk to the system. Maybe that will work.

Yep. don't forget the " MAKECAB "C:\Documents and Settings\Pucca87411\Desktop\XPCD\SI3112\SI3112.sys" "C:\Documents and Settings\Pucca87411\Desktop\XPCD\i386\SI3112.sy_"

@Fernando Fernando your'e the best. Thanx for the quick reply.

@Fernando 1 Maybe a stupid question, but 'm trying to understand it. If I integrate the nvsata and nvraid drivers, the necessary changes will be applied to txtsetup.sif. nvatabus.sys and nvraid.sys will be copied to the I386 dir. Untill this I understand. What I don't understand is the following. A dir is created in I386 with the nForce drivers. In the txtsetup.sif nLite is making extra "dirs" (1883,1884) which point to the driver-dir in the I386 Folder. Then under the file section i see this. nvcoi.dll = 1883,,,,,,,,1883,,,,0,0 This means that nvcoi.dll is in the dir 1883 and copied to 1883. My question is. Is the extra directory in the I386 folder with the integrated drivers necessary? I didn't find any connections to this folder and it's file Thx

Try adding a backslash after System32 Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application") Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace("C:\Windows\System32\") Set objFolderItem = objFolder.ParseName("calc.exe") objFolderItem.InvokeVerb("P&in to Start Menu") The following script will list the option you will have. Same as right clicking a file Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application") Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace("C:\Windows\System32\") Set objFolderItem = objFolder.ParseName("calc.exe") Set colVerbs = objFolderItem.Verbs For Each objVerb in colVerbs Wscript.Echo objVerb Next Remember it will only work when not Using Classic menu!!!

Try newest drivers / older ones.

To change the portnumber of the target computer use regedit en goto More info Here U can also configure your router to use Port Redirection. More Info Here

Installrite maybe.!?

It will work i you are an admin and have access to the standard hidden shares. I think. In your situation it will not work. Sorry But I maybe have another solution. I'm not an access specialist, but is it possible to secure the database. Like a check if the file is at the right location. by vbscript. Or by a macro. Hope this will get you in the right correction.

Move the original file out of the share. (another location) Then from there create a shortcut and place that in the share. Done. PS: Make sure that add the user privileges in the original file location (directory). greetz
