Ext2Ifs Silent Install Help

[trickstar]

Normal installation works ok, just have to right click the .exe file and select Vista as compatibility mode.

I extracted the contents of the .exe and tried to install with the inf file it seems to install but when i run from the control panel this error pop up ("IFS drives control" - system cannot find the file specified)

It seems that can not install correctly through .inf files (not all registry are imported).

Try an AutoIt script (unattended only):

thanks for the script but i forgot to mention I'm using Windows 7 so i need to set the compatibility mode to VISTA or the program wont install.

do you know anyway to get around that?

[trickstar]

using the code below to install on Win7

ECHO..........ext2ifs

md C:\ext2ifs ; MAKE DIRECTORY

Copy %AppsRoot%Install\ext2ifs\ex2 C:\ext2ifs ; COPIES Ext2IFS_1_11a.exe

REGEDIT /S %AppsRoot%Install\ext2ifs\install.reg ; SETS COMPATIBILITY FOR Ext2IFS_1_11a.exe TO VISTASP2

start /wait C:\ext2ifs\ext2ifs-auto.exe ; RUNS YOUR AUTOIT SCRIPT

REGEDIT /S %AppsRoot%Install\ext2ifs\delete.reg ; DELETES THE INSTALL REG KEY

ping -n 5 127.0.0.1>nul ; WAIT 5 SECS

rd /s /q C:\ext2ifs ; DELETES DIRECTORY AND FILES

EXIT

install.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AppCompatFlags\Layers]
"C:\\ext2ifs\\Ext2IFS_1_11a.exe"="VISTASP2"

delete.reg

just found out that installing with the .inf is actually working all i had to do was reboot and the driver loads . cant believe i didn't try that before.
