dorguy Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 HiNeed to know if i can use the OemPnPDriversPath command for installing ATI Drivers, WDM and Control Panel?? If yes what is the syntax pleaseThanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaspin Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 OemPnPDriversPath will only install hardware device drivers, nothing more. You need to install the Control Panel and WDM stuff after windows is installed (I use RunOnceEx). Also if you want to use SmartGART, you need to run setup.exe from the drivers package as well. My Usage:extract the drivers package to $OEM$\$1\Drivers\020_Radeonextract the Control Panel package to $OEM$\$1\Install\ATI_CPanelopen setup.iss in both of those directories, and make sure the last lines read:BootOption=0*optional* edit the .reg files in $OEM$\$1\Install\ATI_CPanel and change the section:[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ATI Technologies\Desktop\CPTemplate\16701\Desktop\]"DisableQuickRes"=hex:00,00,00,00"HelpID"="0""OEMSystemIcon"="0""EnableIcon"="0""NoAtipta"="1""OEMPropertyPagesLogo"="0""DeActivateAllWarningMessage"=hex:00,00,00,00"OEMMenuSideBitmap"="0""OEMOptionsBitmap"="0""HideSwitchAmongstDisplay"=hex:00,00,00,00"RegistrationOnLine"="OFF"this disables the systray icon and registration nag.edit winnt.sif and put:[Unattended]OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\020_Radeon\2KXP_INF"edit RunOnceEx.cmd and put:IF EXIST %systemroot%\system32\atiddc.dll REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "ATI Control Panel 4.8 w/ SmartGART" /fIF EXIST %systemroot%\system32\atiddc.dll REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Drivers\020_Radeon\Setup.exe -s -f1 setup.iss" /fIF EXIST %systemroot%\system32\atiddc.dll REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\ATI_CPanel\Setup.exe -s -f1 setup.iss" /fThe WDM drivers should be done in a similar way as the Control Panel (I'm not using a VIVO card, so I haven't tried) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorguy Posted August 19, 2004 Author Share Posted August 19, 2004 Im using a Celestica Radeon Gold Edition 9200 SE AGP 128 and u? How i can make a RunOnceEx.cmd and what is it for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaspin Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 I'm currently using a Radeon 9600 XT. I do have a Radeon 64MB DDR VIVO (from before they started using the numbers) in an older system, so I can try the WDM drivers sometime (maybe this weekend)Information on using RunOnceEx can be found in the Unattended guide at http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/runonceex.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 @Taemun:edit RunOnceEx.cmd and put:IF EXIST %systemroot%\system32\atiddc.dll REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "ATI Control Panel 4.8 w/ SmartGART" /fIF EXIST %systemroot%\system32\atiddc.dll REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Drivers\020_Radeon\Setup.exe -s -f1 setup.iss" /fIF EXIST %systemroot%\system32\atiddc.dll REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 2 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\ATI_CPanel\Setup.exe -s -f1 setup.iss" /fSo he IS using setup.exe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taemun Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 OIC, thats the 'smartgart' installation package Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 OIC, thats the 'smartgart' installation package Errr????The first setup.exe are the drivers, the second one is the Control Panel (including SmartGart, correct?)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taemun Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Nah. TTBOMK, drivers can always be cut down to a basic inf file, and its dependancies. The setup.exe for the driver component inserts the inf file for the graphics card, AND (not sure, thats why I asked ) installs smartgart. Smartgart allows the ATI drivers to auto-detect whether or not AGP4x or AGP8x etc is to be used (thinks).Theres probably a few too many caveats....hehehe.

Kaspin Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 (edited) There are 3 parts to the Catalyst Drivers.What I call "drivers package" is wxp-w2k-8-042-040803a-016701c.exe. You can extract these files, and include the folder with the .inf files in OemPnPDriversPath. This will install just the drivers. I include the setup.exe from this, to also install SmartGART. SmartGART will not install any other way (according the SmartGART FAQ at http://www.ati.com/products/catalyst/SMARTGART-FAQ.pdf Q2 "Please note that SMARTGART will only be installed if the ATI setup program is used to install the display driver.") IF you don't want or need SmartGART, there is no need to run (or even include on the CD) setup.exe for this package.Then there's the Control Panel package. This installs all the stuff in the control panel except for SmartGART.The last package is the WDM Drivers. These are needed if you have an all-in-wonder or VIVO card and want to use those features. I haven't gotten around to testing these yet, but it's supposed to be installed before the display drivers (just add the WDM_XP folder to OemPnPDriversPath before 2KXP_INF) Edited August 28, 2004 by Kaspin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windows checks for drivers in an order you can't change. Probably, IF it's really REQUIRED WDM drivers get installed first, Windows will first look for these drivers. But if they first look for the regular drivers, you can't do anything about it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taemun Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 Yeah I couldn't see a good reason why they would need to be first.....barring crazy ATIness....BTW, is the ATI WDM drivers required for other capture devices (my Nebula DigiTV, HDTV goodness)?? I wouldn't think so, but some crazy things happen Taemun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if they first look for the regular drivers, you can't do anything about it... I'm just going off of what I read in the release notes for the WDM DriversUnknown Device MessageIf you install the recommended ATI Display Driver before installing the WDM driver, you may encounter an UNKNOWN DEVICE message when restarting your computer. If this occurs, follow these steps: 1. Select CANCEL for all UNKNOWN DEVICES that are detected 2. Install tv-capture-wdm-6-14-10-6240v2.exe 3. Restart the computerI still haven't actually tried an unattended install with the WDM Drivers yet, so I'm not sure how things will work out.
