j4ever Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Just got released today. Apparently after you install it, it disables the control panel and if you want to use the control panel again, you must uninstall control center. anyways, does anybody know how to install the control center from runonceex? In another post, we have learned to install the ATI 4.8 driver along with control panel with these lines: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\001_Video\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" /fIt would be nice if we could add to these lines with control center!

big poppa pump Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 ATI has changed the way for the Control Center install. I am able to install using the standard .iss switches all the way till the part where it prompts for the reboot option. The problem is that this reboot screen is not part of the standard Installshield application. I tried several different options and none of them seem to work for this particular screen. Ultimately the only way I found to get around this was to use the PSKill/Taskkill command .So here goesSetup.iss (make a text file and copy/paste the following in it and rename it to setup.iss)[installShield Silent]Version=v6.00.000File=Response File[File Transfer]OverwrittenReadOnly=NoToAll[{43801800-CFEE-11D2-A41B-006097B55AD3}-DlgOrder]Dlg0={43801800-CFEE-11D2-A41B-006097B55AD3}-SdWelcome-0Count=5Dlg1={43801800-CFEE-11D2-A41B-006097B55AD3}-SdLicense-0Dlg2={43801800-CFEE-11D2-A41B-006097B55AD3}-SdOptionsButtons-0Dlg3={43801800-CFEE-11D2-A41B-006097B55AD3}-RebootDialog-0Dlg4={43801800-CFEE-11D2-A41B-006097B55AD3}-SdFinish-0[{43801800-CFEE-11D2-A41B-006097B55AD3}-SdWelcome-0]Result=1[{43801800-CFEE-11D2-A41B-006097B55AD3}-SdLicense-0]Result=1[{43801800-CFEE-11D2-A41B-006097B55AD3}-SdOptionsButtons-0]Result=101[{43801800-CFEE-11D2-A41B-006097B55AD3}-RebootDialog-0]Choice=0[{43801800-CFEE-11D2-A41B-006097B55AD3}-SdFinish-0]Result=1the run setup.exe -s -f1 setup.issFinally use (I prefer PSKill)PSKill.exe aticim.bin....to finish off your installation.BPP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j4ever Posted September 3, 2004 Author Share Posted September 3, 2004 so i am with u up to the pskill.exe part. i have no idea what that is and what i should do next! how do i use pskill.exe....what do i put in my runonceex.cmd?i added the setup.iss file and this is what i put in my runonceex:cmdow @ /HID@echo offSET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceExREG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Programs" /fIF 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\001_Video\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" /fIF EXIST %systemroot%\system32\atiddc.dll REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "ATI Control Center"IF EXIST %systemroot%\system32\atiddc.dll REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "systemdrive%\Install\ATI_CCenter\Setup.exe -s -f1 setup.issEXITThis prolly isnt right seeing as how you mentioned about the PSKILL.exe, but I don't know what the hell that is or what to do!

big poppa pump Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Make sure to copy over pskill.exe to your system32 folder during your unattended setup. Otherwise you will need to specify the path for pskill in your runonceex file.The command is the same for all types of installation.<Path> pskill.exe <app>PSKILL.EXE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j4ever Posted September 3, 2004 Author Share Posted September 3, 2004 forgive me for not knowing this stuff, but could you give me the command i need to put in so that pskill.exe prevents it from restarting? i really don't know what the hell im doing with this. now i have pskill.exe in my system32 folder, but i don't know what to do with it. i don't know how to make a commad with it. what do i put in my runonceex?

eirogge Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 why not using the msi file in the ACE-directory of the extracted download?space saving in a 7-Zip SFX: 8.8mb (19mb to 10.2mb)guide:1) download wxp-CATALYST-CONTROL-CENTER-17307.exe from ati.com.2) execute wxp-CATALYST-CONTROL-CENTER-17307.exe.3) the second dialogue will ask you where you want to save your files. enter a temporary directory of your choice. alternatively you can extract the file using e.g. winrar. cancel setup after the files are extracted.4) go to that temporary directory and open the folder ACE.5) rename ATI Catalyst Control Center.msi to something easy like ACE.msi.6) start msiexec /a ACE.msi and setup will create an administrative installpoint for you in a directory of your choice. this is optional but as there is a setup.exe in the ACE directory i'm unsure if it is needed or not. i suppose it includes only the windows installer runtimes.7) compress the directory of the last step using 7-Zip or WinRAR or whatever you like. I prefer 7-Zip.8) add the following code to your RunOnceEx or whatever program installs for you at GuiRunOnce:ACE.msi /QN REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESS9) you're done!

big poppa pump Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 thanks for pointing out that one m8. Don't know how I missed it! This works for me:ACE\xxxxxxxxx.msi /QR REB0OT=REALLYSUPPRESS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coolsights2000 Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 Let me give this one a look over after I get some sleep...It looks like if you extract the drivers you can just plop them in the slot where you put the rest of the drivers,,this is where I have mine...D:\XPCD\SS-Root\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\040_ATI_9700_Prothat loads the driversput this in the winnt.sif[Display]BitsPerPel = 32Vrefresh = 75XResolution = 1024YResolution = 768I also put my monitor drivers in this folderD:\XPCD\SS-Root\$OEM$\$1\Drivers\050_Samtron_MonitorBoth mY monitors light off both enabled and running at the about resolutionssee the tutorial on adding drivers it works... This way the only thing you will have to deal with is the control panel I just looked at an old one and there is already a setup.iss file in the control panel you many have to delete that one and do the -r /r trick which ever one was on the help page... the new setup.iss will be in the windows folder... I will have to look at the new files downloading now and need sleep.. I will let my brain think while I sleep...Mac! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metzen Posted September 3, 2004 Share Posted September 3, 2004 ATI has changed the way for the Control Center install. I am able to install using the standard .iss switches all the way till the part where it prompts for the reboot option. The problem is that this reboot screen is not part of the standard Installshield application....I have not had that problem (with 4.8 drivers/control panel/wdm). I will post my setup.iss file later today.EDIT -- Nevermind, my bad, thinking of something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j4ever Posted September 3, 2004 Author Share Posted September 3, 2004 when i try to run the msiexec commad i get an error. it says the Isscript engine is missing from the machiene.maybe its cause im using an nvidia machiene to do this? (i am getting the drivers prepared for an ati machiene coming in the mail soon.)maybe somebody can send me the files after it has an admin install point?

j4ever Posted September 3, 2004 Author Share Posted September 3, 2004 Ok somebody let me know if I did something wrong here:This is how I have it set to install:Runonceex.cmdcmdow @ /HID@echo offSET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceExREG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Programs" /fIF 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\001_Video\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" /fIF EXIST %systemroot%\system32\atiddc.dll REG ADD %KEY%\020 /VE /D "ATI Catalyst Control Center" /fIF EXIST %systemroot%\system32\atiddc.dll REG ADD %KEY%\020 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\ATI_CCenter\Setup.exe" /fEXITthe first part is from another thread here (need help with ati 4.8) and thats where those keys are. That will install control panel with smart gart. after that is done i put those keys there to install control center (i named the sfx archive setup.exe). The if exist is only there just in case if the atiddc.dll isnt installed, the installer won't start for the panel and center. my sfx archive in the comments tab looks like this:;The comment below contains SFX script commandsSetup=ACE.msi /QN /REBOOT=REALLYSUPPRESSTempModeSilent=1Overwrite=1if something is wrong...please let me know!
