ati catalyst control panel silent

[buletov]

Please, i don't have a Radeon card, so can somebody please post me a modified setup.iss file that does decent silent install (for Catalyst Control Panel 4.8 or 4.9) without restart and without that shortcut on desktop. Installation switches also wouldn't hurt... Thank you.

this is my current file but a friend of mine says it doesn't work (Catalyst 4.8):

and I call it using:

if exist %systemroot%\system32\atiddc.dll (
echo.Radeon Display Adapter detected...
start /wait \VALUEADD\3RDPARTY\ATiCP\Setup.exe -s -f1"\VALUEADD\3RDPARTY\ATiCP\setup.iss"
)

(note that my batch file is ran from cd, not hd; paths are correct)

[buletov]

oh come on...one of you guy must have working method...

i now got more details; the setup starts silently but suddenly stops; and if i run it without silent option, it installs normaly. so the problem MUST be in iss file.

[benners]

The setup stops because it can't write to the cd-rom to create the setup.log

If you are running it from the CD you must specify a path for the setup.log file, this is normally created on the drive where the setup is run from, you can use the -f2 switch to alter the path.

-f2%systemdrive%\setup.log

[buletov]

thank you benners.

and this means my setup.iss is ok?

and is there any major difference between catalyst 4.8 and 4.9 setup.iss?

[benners]

It seems ok but, I'm no expert on the files, if you have created the iss file using the -R switch when installing the drivers then I can't see a problem.

I dont think there would be any difference between the driver versions, unless ATI have added additional components, there are probably drivers updates that fix bugs with games and different cards.

[buletov]

will try it within next few days and comment here...thanx again

[buletov]

OK, it finally works...

The problem was obvious in the thing that files must be on hard drive and not on CD...

This is what I used, if anyone needs it:

- all files are within selfextractng archive aticc.exe which silently extracts to C:\ATI

- the last line changed to BootOption=0 in two .iss files

- modified .reg files to tweak some settings (not required)

- used this in my cmd file:

if exist %systemroot%\system32\atiddc.dll (
echo.Radeon Display Adapter detected...
start /wait Bin\ATI\aticc.exe >nul
start /wait C:\ATI\Setup.exe -s -f1 setup.iss >nul
del "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\ATI CATALYST.lnk" 
)
