ATI Catalyst

Hi

I have this in my RunOnceEx file:

REG ADD %KEY%\025 /VE /D "ATI CATALYST Windows XP 4.3" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\025 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\EXTRA\Install\ATI\Setup.exe /s /sms /f2\"%systemdrive%\ATI.txt\"" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\030 /VE /D "DirectX 9.0b" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\030 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\EXTRA\Install\DX9NTopk.exe" /f

How come it doesn't wait for the completion of the installation of the ATI 4.3 driver then go to DirectX? It just goes straight to the DirectX while the ATI driver is still installing.

The ATI 4.3 driver has the driver, control panel and multimedia driver.

Possibly because it launches a seperate process which makes RunOnceEx think its finished. Use the sleep.exe tool (on Downloads page of Unattended XP CD site) to get RunOnceEx to hold for a period of time.

On an unrelated note, it may also be better for DirectX9 to be installed before the ATI Graphics drivers.

I always thought that it's better to install directx after all the drivers (vga and sound).

Thanks
