Unattended Sp2 app issues

[Drewdatrip]

I just slipstreamed sp2 and I am running into some issues durning my runonce installer.

The first app that installs is Alchol 120 when it installs xp finds newhardware and i guess its a new function of sp2 but the installer wants to connect to the net to install the new drivers.

In addition to that SAV 9 just up and doesnt install at all...this i have no idea on how to remedy..

anyone have any cluse on this....

I know this all works in sp1

hmm that's wierd.

I've been using alcohol as the first thing that i run from xplode

alcohol installs its own scsi drivers.

1 thing I know, alcohol itself puts runonce values once its installed and not restarted

maybe bc of that it runs into some problems?

what does your runonce commands look like?

try running it as the last thing

for sav I dunno. I too install it, not had any problems with it.

though I haven't tried it with sp2 rc2. my last install was with 2055.

ow btw I use the msi for alcohol not the setup.exe

maybe that differs?

Well thats the whole point of the post xtrememac.....i know they work in sp1...i have stated that...its sp2 causing the issue...i am looking for ways to fix that

Thankx for the help but please dont post simply to post

I just wanted to confirm that they worked fine with 2055

u did not specify which version u have right now

and which version u last tried it

u only said they worked on sp1

and I'm telling u that it worked on sp2 2055

and i told u that my alcohol worked with msi not the exe.

I don't think I have the need for posting anything.

I felt like helping, u didn't specificy anything in your post

its simply saying I've problems with my computer.

yea? what problems what sort of problems? which program is causing etc..

normally ppl put their runonce batch or the way they call it

2055 for your information is sp2!

I tend to help by giving u some info u might not have tried.

both for sav & alcohol I use the msi that i slightly modified.

well if u don't want me to post, I don't feel the neccessity to reply to your questions if u won't appriciate them.

good luck with your problem, lets see who comes up with the answer.

there should be no difference installing apps on SP2 compared to SP1...

all of my apps install on SP1, SP1a, SP2 RC1, SP2 RC2...

however i have read in a previous post in the Application Switches forum that Alcohol120% will not install correctly in silent mode if you do not have the DriverSignPolicy=Ignore set in your winnt.sif maybe that might help you i'm not sure...

Well thats the whole point of the post xtrememac.....i know they work in sp1...i have stated that...its sp2 causing the issue...i am looking for ways to fix that

Maybe I shouldn't post either? Still, XtremeMAC was using SP2 and installing the same apps as you are without problem so I thought his post was fully justified... Perhaps for Alcohol do what XtremeMAC says and use the MSI installer, not the EXE installer?

[Drewdatrip]

though I haven't tried it with sp2 rc2.

this is all i was pointing out...you said u had no issues with the previous builds......i have not either ,that is why i made it clear i was running Rc2.

u did not specify which version u have right now

ummmm yes i did...i siad RC2

@Xtrememac i thanked you...so dont talk smack that im ungratful or somthing.

@Crusher thankx for the tip on the driver sign policy..im gonna try that next time seems like a good plan

Heres a look at my Runonce if anyone is still interested:

There was a registry key somewhere I saw (checking to see if I have it here in my regtweaks files) that disables the "Use Windows Update for drivers search" or something option - that what you mean?

This looks like it - found on here I think BTW.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DriverSearching]
"DontSearchWindowsUpdate"=dword:00000001
"DontPromptForWindowsUpdate"=dword:00000001

[Denney]

@rustycaps: Thanks for those reg tweaks. I'm all for searching the board and stuff but when it comes to registry tweaks it is getting a little hard to find what your after.

[[BM]Crusher]

@rustycaps: you shouldn't have to use that registry tweak to get alcohol installed correctly... it would only connect to the internet if local driver database doesn't contain any matching PnP ID's corresponding to the hardware being installed...

ummmm yes i did...i siad RC2

i think he means that you did not specify which build number of RC2 you are using (the most common is 2149 i think)

[rustycaps]

[bM]Crusher - I only mentioned those regtweaks because it was mentioned in part in the initial question (yes, I know it wasn't the actual topic, but it was sort of asked as well)

The first app that installs is Alchol 120 when it installs xp finds newhardware and i guess its a new function of sp2 but the installer wants to connect to the net to install the new drivers.

I know it has nothing to do with Alcohol (I guess?), as mine comes up during Office 2003 setup asking "windows had finished installing new hardware, do you wish to reboot?", so it just solves a minor inconvenience.
