Guide For Compressed Drivers Unattended Install

**evilvoice** · September 9, 2004

well, thank you...I only really read the first post...but isnt your method the exact same thing being tried here? I mean, what is the difference between the 2...why is one method better than the other (other than the problems this one had...if this method worked, what are the benefits of this method?)

**Pyron** · September 9, 2004

If this one would work as expected, there wouldn't be much difference. I prefer using my presetup.cmd, however, because I am much more flexible in what I do before setup starts and even afterwards before reboot. (Like uncompressing drivers before, setting registry keys, cleaning up, etc.)

So it depends of what you need to to.

Choice, the problem is choice.

well, then, I dont mean to diss on serialzs, but I have no idea why this thread is a sticky...if yours does the exact same thing that this one will do in the end, and yours works currently...i personally think this thread should be unstickied...sorry serialzs, but I just dont get the differences between the 2, if there are any.

**idle.newbie** · September 9, 2004

the only difference is Pyron's method works, drvz never works currently(without OemPnPDriversPath). T-39 just too late for the regTweak.

another advantage from Pyron's method, you don't need the OemPreinstall=Yes, compress everything in $OEM$\$$ & $1(cmdow/codecs/more), extract it from presetup.cmd.

the problem is people loves the gui way, somebody hate the batch script.

OK, I think it's time to clarify why I stickied this topic.

With this method you don't have to change alot, IF it would be working, which it isn't... Personally I thought this method is easier than Pyron's method. But now it seems that, even after several times of modifying the files, Serialzs couldn't manage to get it to work.

Also I'd want to apologize to Pyron and to everyone of this board that I stickied it BEFORE it was tested decently: it was only tested on Serialzs computer...

So why did I prefer this one: because it's UNIFORM (again: if it was working). With Pyron's method you still have to point to EACH compressed file to extract it. On the other side this is an advantage, because you can choose your own folder structure (you're not stuck with a fixed folder).

If I forgot to say something, please tell me.

Unstickied this topic. (I may reconsider if it _finally_ gets to work)

Take a look in Pyron's topic. (which seemed to be easier and certainly better after all...)

Thanks for your understanding,

@all

im really sorry for the DRVZ.EXE it doesnt working...

i make a new DRVZ.EXE but i use the Pyron's method... it will RUNS even it doesnt have a Winnt.SIF

you have to follow the guide of pyron's method

click here

just add this codes in the top presetup.cmd

IF Exist temp.cmd del temp.cmd
IF Exist temp1.cmd del temp1.cmd
IF Exist temp2.cmd del temp2.cmd
for %%a in (d: e: f: g: h: i: j: k: l: m: n: o: p: q: r: s: t: u: v: w: x: y: z:) do if exist "%%a\$OEM$\Driverz" set drv=%%a\$OEM$\Driverz
for %%i in (%drv%\*.cab %drv%\*.7z) do echo %%i>> temp.log
xrep +T#-c temp.log /%drv%/MD#32%systemdrive%\Driverz/
If Not Exist %drv%\*.cab goto next
for %%i in (%drv%\*.cab) do echo %%i%%iz>> temp1.log
xrep -c temp.log /.CAB
xrep +T#-c temp1.log /%drv%/Expand.EXE#32%drv%/
xrep +T#-c temp1.log /.cab/.cab#32-f:*#32%systemdrive%\driverz/
xrep +T#-c temp1.log /zExpand.EXE#32%drv%/z/
xrep +T#-c temp1.log /.cab#32-f:*#32%systemdrive%\driverzz
:next
If Not Exist %drv%\*.7z goto next1
for %%i in (%drv%\*.7z) do echo %%i%%i>> temp2.log
xrep -c temp.log /.7z
xrep +T#-c temp2.log /%drv%/7za.EXE#32x#32-y#32-o#%systemdrive%\Driverz/
xrep +T#-c temp2.log /.7z7za.EXE#32x#32-y#32-o#%systemdrive%\Driverz/#32%drv%/
:next1
ren *.log *.cmd
cmd /c "temp.cmd"
If Exist temp1.cmd cmd /c "temp1.cmd"
If Exist temp2.cmd cmd /c "temp2.cmd"

im sure it will RUN smooth...

just add the XREP.EX_ in i386 folder then

add this line in TXTSETUP.SIF

7za.ex_ is still needed...

[SourceDisksFiles]
7za.exe      = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0
xrep.exe     = 1,,,,,,,2,0,0

i will post here the real guide soon including all the files needed...

)

, xrep.exe, devpath.exe, presetup.cmd in system32 and my driverz\driverz.cab in systemdrive.

When I launch presetup.cmd a lot of cmd.exe and setuporg.exe appear in prossessus and 5minutes later I listen a sound of windows error...is it normal?

And when I try with vmware, install of windows seems block because it stay a lot lot lot of time on a blue screen (not fatal blue screen) and next it say me it hasn't any virtual memory...

I try since 3 days to do correct install of drivers with this methoh but

I'm totaly lost and with my medium english I understant not all, if a french guy can help me in private and on msn messenger

Hi atlas95.

1. look this forum for another setup.ex_ from pyron and replace it.

2. drivers must be packed with 7zip with .7z.

3. are you made changes in textsetup file?

3. I using clear pyron method without problem, here is my presetup.cmd:
