Mutant_Fruit Posted August 30, 2004 Author Share Posted August 30, 2004 i did a search, and these two threads are all i came up with:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...20737&hl=nforcehttp://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...24892&hl=nforceThe thing is, i don't know how to reference the stuff in winnt.sif. What exactly does that mean? I understand i have to move the files to the $OEM$ folder, but where exactly does everything have to go?So far if i unzip the driver package, i end up with several folders:AudioDrvEthernetGARTIDEMemCtlSMBusUSBDo i just put them in the driver folder? Or do i have to put the contents in the driver folder? OR does it matter what i do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mutant_Fruit Posted August 30, 2004 Author Share Posted August 30, 2004 rofl, i just noticed the package came with in ISS file! which i think means i can do a silent install. I'm investigating that option now. I know i read something about ISS files in the tutorial thingy. If that doesn't work, i'll be doing the winnt.sf method.I'm from Ireland EDIT: Which is better if i want to use this CD on multiple computers. Using the ISS method, or using the winnt.sif method?

Mutant_Fruit Posted August 30, 2004 Author Share Posted August 30, 2004 The setup.exe that comes with the package is actually an Installshield jobby!So i tried using the -S command, which worked, but the thing rebooted on me! So i ran setup.exe -R so i could create a new ISS file, which wouldn't reboot, but it rebooted on me again anyway! Looks like i'll be using the winnt.sf method.

Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 you haven't read /searched very well...1. best method: winnt.sif (especially when using on multiple pc's with different hardware)check my previous post 2. install shiels silent installationcheck the tutorialshort explanation:-run setup.exe -R-go to your %windir%\system32 folder and copy the setup.iss file -for silent installation: place setup.iss in the same folder as setup.exe and run: setup.exe -s - f1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did read the tutorial. So i gave up on that installer temporarily, and started work on the ATI drivers, and tried -r aswell, but that didn't work either!While working on the ATI drivers package, i went browsing around on the installshield website, i noticed they had different syntax listed for different versions of their installers, so i tried "setup /r" and guess what, it made the iss file!So i then tried "setup -s" to do a silent install, and it didnt work. So i tried "setup /s" and it then installed silently. Maybe that should be included in FAQ somewhere for use with the ATI 4.8's...As for the Nforce drivers, i've now thrown hem in the winnt.sif file, and i hope they'll install right. I'll be testing later today.Thanks for the help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m-vw Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 I'm having the same problems with the -R rebooting on me.But I think I will do the same as Mutant_Fruit and use the winnt.sif method. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
