ATI Catalyst

[Marthax]

greetings!

Does anyone know how to unattend the installation of ATI catalyst drivers? i've viewed a topic a previously found on the forum but the it didn't get any good answer so i thought that maybe now someone knows. I've used many switches and none of them works it either starts the installation and asks me to install like a normal installation or says that the class is not registered or something like that. The last time i tried it just stands still and does nothing. I'm currently using -s switch and /REBOOT=SUPPRESS. Anyone that knows what's wrong? plz help then.

some people just never search properly.

ATI Catalyst drivers use a InstallShield setup routine. Follow the instructions here

If you wish to just have the drivers and non of the additonal stuff like smartgart or the control panel, you may prefer using the OEMPnPDriversPath method

ok, that install shield method doesn't work as i said...but i'll try the other one.. thx

and another thing about the install shield...i just don't understand it ...that -s switch never works for me..no matter what i do it always does a normal installation if i use it. I start by running the program with the -r switch to create the *.iss file and after that i put it in the same directory as the program but still it refuses to work. What am i doing wrong??

specify the iss file using -f1.

setup.exe -s -f1"%PATHTOFILE%\setup.iss"

also, If using a virtual machien, it won't instlal anyways as the installation requires there be a card present, or it will cancel out. And if you're installing from CD, you may want to try and specify the location to save a log file, as it might cancel out by that as well..use -f2 to use it.

-f2"%systemdrive%\log.log"
