dave_uk Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Hi all,I'm trying to get the Radeon 9800SE AIW cards to automatically silent install into our installations. It just isn't happening! I can set to silent install the video drivers and capture drivers during the install (RIS based), yet when the PC starts up to the desktop none of the capture/tuner drivers (6 of them) have been detected. I can re-install the wdm capture devices again afterwards, no joy. The only thing that will fix it is to re-install the video drivers from the desktop and then restart the machine. Apparently (from what I was told) installing the drivers in this way puts the I2C bus driver that's on the AIW card in so that XP can enumerate the WDM drivers to the capture devices on the card properly. Is there any way of totally automating this, or am I missing something ?Regards,Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alanoll Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 have you tried letting the computer restart after the Video drivers are installed, before installing the Capture drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_uk Posted May 11, 2004 Author Share Posted May 11, 2004 Hi AlanollThanks for the prompt reply!!!The video drivers are being silent installed during the setup of Windows, then the WDM capture drivers are also installed afterwards. So obviously there is a reset between this stage and the desktop appearing.Regards,Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alanoll Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 i meant, was there a reset between installation of the video drivers and the capture? Not chained one after the other, but let there be a full restart in between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eirogge Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 it doesnt work with a restart in between neither. i tried it several times with a couple of different driver versions but the wdm drivers wont install.i installed catalyst display driver using OemPnPDriversPath and then tried to install wdm drivers during guirunonce using the installshield responsefile supplied with the package.

dave_uk Posted May 12, 2004 Author Share Posted May 12, 2004 Hi EiroggeAt last - someone who's had the same problem as me - I thought I was being thick with no-one else getting it!!!!I have one last idea to try with it, I'll report back later...............Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonedaddy Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 @Davehere it is short and sweet1 I make an iss file on a fresh install using the -R2 I install from GuiRunOnce and a batch file3 it's the last thing to install, the very last4 it leaves a "setup complete do you want to reboot"5 it's the ATI AIW drivers about 27mb6 everything installs, cp wdm smartgarthope it works for you, if you find betterplease let me know, I hate that "setup complete" crapworks for mebonedaddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_uk Posted May 13, 2004 Author Share Posted May 13, 2004 Hi BonedaddyThanks for the reply.Is the iss script for the root of the AIW drivers or is it for just the vga drivers? I'd all but resigned myself to installing the AIW card thru GUIRunOnce - not the best way coz it needs an extra reset, but do-able.I find it really strange that the drivers wont put in the I2C part of the ATI card during setup yet it will once the setup is finished. Got any ideas on this? I've quickly tried studying the driver inf files to see what's being added extra but can't see it.Thanks,Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[BM]Crusher Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Radeon2.RU have a slipstream-able WDM capture driver (as well as normal Catalyst including Control Panel)...the WDM driver isn't the very latest version, but I believe it works good...all you do is extract the WDM driver to a Drivers directory and add that dir to your winnt.sif driver path list...the same with the catalyst driver they host - just extract it to a dir, put that dir in your drivers path and it installs the drivers and control panel together during PnP hardware detection...Look for these links at the top left of the page:Ñâåæèå äðàéâåðû Win9x/ME 9137 Win2k/XP 6430 WDM 6238 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_uk Posted May 13, 2004 Author Share Posted May 13, 2004 Hi [bM]CrusherSlipstreaming the WDM capture drivers isn't a problem. It's the slipstreamed video drivers not installing the I2C bridge so that XP can recognise the capture devices during the RIS install. If I silent install the video drivers during the install, I still get the same problem. Only if the vga drivers are installed once XP is installed ok, then the capture devices are all enumerated ok.I will try those ATI drivers out from radeon.ru tomorrow now - it's late!!Thanks,Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
