Im about to put togther a cd which will install the graphics card drivers by using a batch file like everyone else does.

Im wondering since i have multiple machines with ATI and Nvida cards i need to make the cd universal with bother types of machines.

Would it be possible to just to use the unnatended switches for both types of drivers and if they dont find the card it will skip the installation and then go onto the next driver that would then install successfully. and visa versa. Will this be possbile.

Thnx for any replies!

If you simply follow the guide you can find at http://unattended.msfn.org this is done automatically: windows setup always keeps searching untill it finds the correct or the newest driver!

but i mean the application that would come with the drivers. so for a nforce board it will install the dolby digital software and for another system only those sound applications for that driver will be installed.

Yes, I know you mean that. For most drivers the method I mentioned in my first reply works. For some of them unfortunately not...

If you want to have always application A with driver A, you'll have to make it yourself. For soundcards you can try my sounddriverpack, see my sig.

For other drivers there are several methods, or invent your own! Possibilities:

1. batch files like this:

if exist %systemroot%\system32\drivername.SYS start \wait driverapp.exe /switch

2. edit the driver's inf file: check the modifications.htm file in my driverpack...

thnx for the if statement batch file, should make life easier.
