nForce 5.10

[palemmo]

Hi I’m trying to realize my unattended cd with drivers and software…

I would like to launch the installation pack of my motherboard with nForce2 chipset, the installer is made by installShield….

In the msfn guide there is written :

To silently install a package that uses InstallShield, you will have to first create a setup.iss file on a working operating system. Use a test PC if you can.

1. Start the setup application using the -R (case-sensitive) switch from command prompt.

e.g.:

Setup.exe -R

2. The setup screens will appear as they normally would, asking you questions as you go along, such as destination directory, etc. It's important that you do not choose the "Restart the computer now" option. If you do, you will terminate your batch when you run an unattended installation.

3. After installation has completed, go to your C:\Windows\ (or C:\WINNT\) directory and take out the setup.iss file. Put this setup.iss file in the same directory where your application setup.exe file resides in.

I’ve found no iss file under windows directory, wile I’ve found one unpacking the installer:

[InstallShield Silent]
Version=v7.00
File=Response File
[File Transfer]
OverwrittenReadOnly=NoToAll
[{EFB7D050-CAD2-11D4-B34D-00105A1C23DD}-DlgOrder]
Dlg0={EFB7D050-CAD2-11D4-B34D-00105A1C23DD}-SdWelcome-0
Count=1
[{EFB7D050-CAD2-11D4-B34D-00105A1C23DD}-SdWelcome-0]
Result=1

It’s the same?

But is not so silent…in fact come out the normal boxes of a normal installation...you can see the attachment images are named as them appears in sequence order

So I’ve tried to modify the iss file at my best…

for me it's easier to extract the files with winrar and create the necessary $oem$ drivers folders

thx for the info anyway

cool you've the same mobo as me

As said above, just extracting all files from the downloaded file, then integrating drivers into setup, is easier.
