Dumpy Dooby Posted June 2, 2005 Share Posted June 2, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dumpy Dooby Posted June 3, 2005 Author Share Posted June 3, 2005 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marthax Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 (edited) @Dumpy Dooby: Why not install deamon tools from cmdlines? I mean, it's the easiest way since you'll get rid of the "found new hardware" popup. Edited June 9, 2005 by Marthax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumpy Dooby Posted June 9, 2005 Author Share Posted June 9, 2005 I just added this to my au3 script.; Wait for possible Install New Hardware DialogWinWaitActive ("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 ( )endifFunc 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" )EndFuncThen I defined $WT_1 ... I think I made it 45 (in case someone has a really slow computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
