Daemon Tools/Alcohol - "Found New Hardware" prompt


Recommended Posts

Whenever I install Daemon Tools or Alcohol, I get that "Found New Hardware" wizard. Is there any way to completely disable that prompt? And then re-enable it after installation?

I'm hoping it's just a simple reg hack, but I haven't been able to find anything on MS's site. I used nLite to remove a bunch of drivers, but I made sure to leave in SCSI and RAID drivers. That should be all I need, right?

If anyone would know how to code an auto-it script that will look for the Found New Hardware wizard, that'd be cool too. Must be in If-then format, though. I may use the WPI script on a computer where the found new hardware wizard doesn't come up.

That is correct.

I should have mentioned that.

BTW, when the Found New Hardware wizard pops up, I just have to click next and it auto-installs the drivers. It's not like Windows can't find the drivers or anything. It's pretty retarded, actually. :\

From what I've read, I need to disable the PnP service in order to disable that popup. Any way to keep a service turned off during the installion and then turn it back on after everything is done?

Hiya,

The "Found New Hardware" prompt won't show up if you:

A. don't remove SCSI drivers with nLite, or

B. install from CMDLINES.TXT (my preference).

Good Luck!

NOT TRUE

I just added this to my au3 script.

; Wait for possible Install New Hardware Dialog
WinWaitActive ("Found New Hardware Wizard","",$WT_1*1000)

; If New Hardware Dialog pops up, Take care of it!
if WinExists ( "Found New Hardware Wizard", "" ) then
   FoundNewHardware ( )
endif
Func FoundNewHardware ()
ControlClick ( "Found New Hardware Wizard","","Button8" )
;The number at the end of the line below signifies how long to wait for drivers to intall (miliseconds)
WinWaitActive ( "Found New Hardware Wizard","Completing the found",100000)
ControlClick ( "Found New Hardware Wizard","","Button9" )
EndFunc

Then I defined $WT_1 ... I think I made it 45 (in case someone has a really slow computer.

any way other than AutoIt script n cmdlines.txt? i have used the method by muiz in Silent Installer thread but the windows still pop up asking for SCSI/RAID Host Controller driver.

PS:The WinXP CD still has that driver in it. i haven't remove it.
