Firstly I would apologise for being somewhat ignorant with regard to all this stuff. However I have picked up enough from this forum, and the guide, to have just about completed my first full unattended xp with just about everything I need added. It was actually a lot easier than I thought it would be. Many thanks! When I said easy there is of course the exception of the Creative X-Fi unattended install. Ive managed to get the basic driver installed (driver update downloaded from the creative site) via WINNT.SIF. The other stuff; driver apps such as console launcher, thx console, and mediasource (from the CD) is proving a lot more difficult. I believe that setup.exe is installshield. Ive tried using a variety of switches (-R, /r, /r /f1"C:\Temp\Setup.iss") but these fail to produce an .iss file. I've also tried running the exe from runounce with both /s & /S but this did not work either (the setup exe executed but not silently (install shut down/rebooted from the runonce EXIT). All-in-all a pretty ameturish attempt I know, but I've been trying to do this for what seems like an age. I can't find a solution that I understand no matter how much I search. Has anybody been able to solve this problem? If you've done this I'd be extremely thankful if you could take the time to help (No I don't consider myself above begging... at all) Many Many thanks
