Unattended Install Of Non-whql Forceware

[Dougal4263]

Hi all

Here's how to do an unattended install of Non-WHQL forceware drivers. This should work for all beta drivers and ones with a modified INF on all laptops and PC's.

All you need to do is edit these 3 files DOSNET.INF, TXTSETUP.INF and DRVINDEX.INF

In the DOSNET.INF find and remove these lines,

   d1,nvts.inf
    d1,nvct.inf
    d1,nvdm.inf
    d1,nv3.dll
    d1,nv3.inf
    d1,nv3.sys
    d1,nv4_disp.dll
    d1,nv4_disp.inf
    d1,nv4_mini.sys

In the TXTSETUP.SIF find and remove these lines,

   nvts.inf     = 100,,,,,,,20,0,0
    nvct.inf     = 100,,,,,,,20,0,0
    nvdm.inf     = 100,,,,,,,20,0,0
    nv3.dll      = 1,,,,,,,,3,3
    nv3.inf      = 1,,,,,,,20,0,0
    nv3.sys      = 1,,,,,,,,3,3
    nv4_disp.dll = 100,,,,,,,,3,3
    nv4_disp.inf = 100,,,,,,,20,0,0
    nv4_mini.sys = 100,,,,,,,,3,3

And finally in the DRVINDEX.INF find and remove these lines,

   nv3.dll
    nv3.sys
    nv4_disp.dll
    nv4_mini.sys

Some of these files are also listed in the LAYOUT.INF file but do not make any changes to this file as it's signed and will make XP cancel the setup with an error. (Found that out the hard way!)

Hope this helps out a few people here.

...how about the same for ATi?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

It's just a method, it will work for ANY driver

Please assist.......

I seem to have lots of enteries in these files for ATi driver. How do i work out which enteries to remove. I would like to understand and learn so help will be appreciated

And what if there is no lines to remove? I have searched all these files and there is not a single line you have writen to remove. I used nLite on my installation, so it could be that nLite already removes this.
