December 17, 200421 yr This isn't quite related to an unattended install but I was wondering if anyone had any insight. We are pushing a driver install to a laptop (it's a intel wireless lan driver). It is being done via logon script. The driver install is an installsheild install (setup /s /sms) but the installation hangs because the hardware detection window is open in the background. If the user isn't sitting at the machine at the time then the install hangs there till the window is closedAnyone have any ideas? I like to install the driver even before the hardware detection windows shows up. (force install)Thanks guys.
December 17, 200421 yr InstallShield setups need the Windows Shell to be loaded! So you can't install them during setup, only when you're logged on to Windows.At least, that's how I understood you... Correct me if I'm wrong!
December 17, 200421 yr Bâshrat the Sneakyi read your post and i was wondering to myself...."can i correct him if he is right too?"just kiddingi am just missing your driverpack:)
December 18, 200421 yr Author I'm not trying to do this during a setup. I'm trying to 'push' the driver to the machine but before windows pops up the 'hardware detected' window.Does RunOneEx run before hardware detection?Thanks
December 18, 200421 yr Oh I thought you were talking about hardware detection during setup...You can cancel the hardware detection setup and start the InstallShield installer AFTER you've cancelled it. That should work...

December 18, 200421 yr Eh... the obvious? Just click cancel...Or do you want to automate the cancel? Or disable hardware detection?
December 18, 200421 yr Author Eh... the obvious? Just click cancel...Or do you want to automate the cancel? Or disable hardware detection?Automated of course.Could you give me an example for both?

I'm afraid I don't have an example... But I do think you can entirely disable the Hardware Detection Wizard in Windows XP by disabling the Plug and Play service... You can try that, it won't mess up your system either
