SiMoNsAyS Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 (edited) IntroductionThis installation "traditionally" caused many headaches and many of you have asked about it. This will help you to install the catalyst drivers, ATI control panel and an interesting tool for overclockers (radclocker). Just follow this simple steps...Step 1Start creating the folder ATI\ and inside it the folders CP\ (Control Panel), Drivers\ (Catalyst) and RadClocker\ so it will look like... ATI\-CP\-Drivers\-RadClocker\Now download the ATI catalyst drivers from here, and do the same with the control panel. Finally download radclocker.Step 2Extract the catalyst drivers installer; you can do it using winrar or running the installer and checking the ATI\ folder on the root of your drive. There you will find the 2KXP_INF\ folder, that is the main drivers dir. Copy the content of that folder to ATI\Drivers\. Then modify your unattended "winnt.sif" file, point the drivers dirs... OemPnPDriversPath="ATI\Drivers" ...and to ensure they're installed add this to the same file... DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore NonDriverSigningPolicy = IgnoreExtract the catalyst control panel from the installer; again you can use winrar or run the setup to place all the files into ATI\CP\. Now once on that dir edit the 2 files named like *_XP.reg and modify the values..."EnableIcon"="0""NoAtipta"="1""RegistrationOnLine"="OFF"This will prevent the taskbar icon to load (if you want to preserve it just don't modify the .reg file).Now RadClocker, latest version uses another type of installation (older versions used .msi installers). Run the setup and go to your temp folder to find a random strings .msi file so copy it to ATI\RadClocker\ and reaname it to RadClocker.msi for example.Step 3Now you can select between pack it on a RAR SFX or place the ATI\ dir on the $OEM$\$1. If you use the RAR way use this comment ;The comment below contains SFX script commandsPath=%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Silent=1Overwrite=1 and place this code on winnt.sif... DetachedProgram=cmd.exe Arguments="/C START %systemdrive%\detached.cmd" ...and for $OEM$\$1\detached.cmd... @echo offFOR %%d IN (c: 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 %%d\$OEM$\$1\detached.cmd SET CDROM=%%dstart /wait %CDROM%Software\ATIRARSFX.exeEXITStep 4Almost done, now drivers will be installed and we need to call CP\ and RadClocker\ setups. Simply place this on RunOnceEx IF EXIST %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\atiddc.dll REG ADD %KEY%\055 /VE /D "Catalyst Control Panel" /fIF EXIST %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\atiddc.dll REG ADD %KEY%\055 /V 1 /D "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\ATI\CP\Setup.exe /K" /fIF EXIST %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\atiddc.dll REG ADD %KEY%\056 /VE /D "RadClocker" /fIF EXIST %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\atiddc.dll REG ADD %KEY%\056 /V 1 /D "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\ATI\RadClocker\RadClocker.msi /qn" /fFinally done, now drivers will be installed and if they are detected the control panel and radclocker will be run.Note: The new ATI installers use the /K switch for silent installations, if you're using an older version or that switch is not working, you'll need to use the installshield method and call the installation this way... REG ADD %KEY%\055 /V 1 /D "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\ATI\CP\Setup.exe /S -f1\"%SYSTEMDRIVE%\ATI\CP\setup.iss\" -f2\"%SYSTEMDRIVE%\ATICP.log\"" /f ...and for your pleasure the setup.iss file...

All the guides here ive followed dont work for me Also the CATALYST Control Center? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiMoNsAyS Posted November 25, 2004 Author Share Posted November 25, 2004 many thanks guys @edmoncu sorry for the wait @codeblue, i've never used MMC so i can't provide a working setup.iss and about the CC, well i used it for a while but i found a background process that took too much resources so i simply replaced it with the CP but hey good news! probably they use the same type of installation as new ati setups so... just follow the steps for the control panel and /K switch *should* work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmoncu Posted November 25, 2004 Share Posted November 25, 2004 no problem simon, your guide's awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jilles Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 What i do is integrate de inf files with nlite and then i install the control panel through the startup batch file, with the other programs. Is this a good way to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiMoNsAyS Posted November 27, 2004 Author Share Posted November 27, 2004 @Jilles yes, it's a good way. i use runonce instead a batch file because "it looks" better and nlite is a very good way to integrate drivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted November 28, 2004 Share Posted November 28, 2004 Well, congratz SiMoNsAyS! I think you're becoming the "FAQ-man"!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynaletik Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 Do i need an .iss file for installing CP or does it perfectly when I use the /K switch? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmoncu Posted November 29, 2004 Share Posted November 29, 2004 i suppose with the newer catalyst drivers, the need for ISS file is not a necessity anymore since the /K switch supplants it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBQmyNUTZ Posted December 4, 2004 Share Posted December 4, 2004 Hello. First time poster here, having a bit of trouble getting the control panel portion of this guide to work correctly. The display driver itself installs fine, but I'm probably missing something obvious when trying to get the cpanel to silently install.I'm not using any rar'ed files, just the extracted setup. Here's what I've got so far:Control Panel setup files are in this directory:\$OEM$\$1\Install\ATI\CPanelThere is a setup.iss file already there, which I'm not sure if I should remove or keep or what.Cmdlines.txt file is in the \$OEM$\ folder. Here's what's in that:[COMMANDS]"RunOnceEx.cmd"RunOnceEx.cmd file is in the \$OEM$\ folder. Here's what's in that:IF EXIST %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\atiddc.dll REG ADD %KEY%\055 /VE /D "Catalyst Control Panel" /fIF EXIST %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\atiddc.dll REG ADD %KEY%\055 /V 1 /D "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Install\ATI\CPanel\Setup.exe /K" /fThat's all I have in regards to the Cpanel stuff. I didn't enter anything else in the winnt.sif file, because I didn't use the rarsfx option. Is there something here I'm missing?Kai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullish Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 BBQmyNUTZ[COMMANDS]"RunOnceEx.cmd" try put at winnt.sif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troycicle Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 How do I make it when I install the control panel, a shortcut doesn't get placed on my desktop, when I right click my desktop, ATI Catalyst Control Center doesn't show up at the top, the Control center doesn't load in my system tray, and OverDrive is enabled in the Control Center?

SiMoNsAyS Posted December 30, 2004 Author Share Posted December 30, 2004 for the shortcut a simple command will do the job...del /f /q "pathtolink\link.lnk"rightclick shortcut to CC at the top of the menu; you'll need to search throught your registry. probably the reference will be placed on a "HKCR\*" , "HKCR\folder" or something like this so your reg must be...[-HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\...]about the last paragraph sorry i don't know what you want to mean , probably because i use CP in the place of CC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
