Creative Audigy driver update without reboot?

[BoardBabe]

Im installing Creative Audigy driver with an .exe at beginning of RunOnceExe.cmd.

There is however an update for this driver out, but this requires the first driver to be installed.

I tried to run it after installation of the first driver, but it then just told me that i had to reboot before i could install the driverupdate. (You did not reboot since you installed the last audigy driver blabla)

Is there any solution for this?

[Anderz]

Are you using any switches on that .exe? Have you tried to /? the executable?

Can you post your RunOnceEx?

[BoardBabe]

RunOnceEx.cmd runs a install_drivers.cmd at the very beginning.

start /wait %CDROM%\Drivere\002_lyd\Drivers\CTZAPXX.exe /S is the Audigy driver.

[Anderz]

Are you certain the /S is the correct switch?

I found this:

CTZAPXX.exe /q /o /r

[BoardBabe]

Not really, No. This is my first unattend CD

Where did you find those, and should i use them?

[Anderz]

A bit of googling ... try it - maybe it works!

You don't have to reinstall to try it. Just run the command and see if you get an error or not (atleast)... Hehe ...

[BoardBabe]

Any idea what the switches does?

[Anderz]

Nope, but:

/q - stands for quiet...

/o - overwrite?

/r - suppress reboot? or force reboot?

Have no idea .. test it BB! Gotta go .. PM me if it worked ...

[BoardBabe]

Didnt really make any difference (i think).

Right before installing Pinnacle PCTV, after update of creative audigy, i get a message that I need to reboot because of previously installed drivers were installed without rebooting.

If I remove the creative audigy update it installs PCTV fine.

Any ideas?

I have an Audigy2. This CTZAPXX.exe that you mention, is the creative driver update utility. If you run it, it searches the internet for driver updates. What you want is the driver itself? You may need to download the latest drivers from creative. AUD_EAX4DRV_031031.exe or similar, which may depend on your pc language.

[BoardBabe]

This update is for Microsoft® Windows® XP and Windows 2000 users ONLY. You should only install this update after you have downloaded and installed the Audigy® Web Update files released on 19 November 2003.

This is what their website says, and what im trying to do.

The web update files from 19 nov 03 is first installed, then the latest web update. But it stops at the latest becuase i didnt reboot after installing the 19 nov web update.

[MHz]

You would have Installshield setups. So you are going to use Installshield exe switches. Unless you can find a noreboot switch. Then you may have to put the driver update into runonce for the following reboot.

[BoardBabe]

And i just do that by adding another runonceex2.cmd at end of RunOnceEx.cmd?

like this?

REG ADD %KEY%\070 /VE /D "Preparing driver update for next reboot" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\070 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\$OEM$\RunOnceEx2.cmd" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\075 /VE /D "Cleaning up and rebooting /f
REG ADD %KEY%\075 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\$OEM$\cleanup.cmd" /f

I have not done a 2nd runonceex. I think you have it right.

[Druide]

i found it easier to install the drivers of whatever you need for your machine(s) and then use something like 'driver genius professional edition' which has features like making cabs, autoinstall multiple drivers at once whithout rebooting if you use a .vbs script or autoit.

Another option is just to select to backup the SB audigy drivers and to place them into your $$\system32\.... and a copy of you .inf in the $$\inf\.. directory (create it if you havent already)

There are multiple options if you use your imagination, to switch a cd/dvd only to install the drivers for your hardware makes the unattended installation far from unattended, just copy those drivers to their place in system32 or create $$\system32\drivers\.. (and put all the drivers you need inthere) while installing you just choose select the location to install the drivers (dont let it search bacause it will take forever with multiple hardware drivers installation) when you put the inf files of your drivers in the $$\inf\.. directory then you only have to point it to the $$\system32\drivers\SBAudigy\ (or so)

sbaudigy drivers are only 4.7 mb so why switching disks ?
