phaeton Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 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!

turbomcp Posted December 17, 2004 Share Posted December 17, 2004 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:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaeton Posted December 18, 2004 Author Share Posted December 18, 2004 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bâshrat the Sneaky Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Eh... the obvious? Just click cancel...Or do you want to automate the cancel? Or disable hardware detection? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
