Geforce nvidea

[gratz]

i am trying to do a silent install of geforce nvidea grahics card drivers it is packaged as a installshield product

but i am unsure what i have to do?

I have used the runonceex method for a few application installs but keep getting into a jumble!

the actual application for installing the drivers is called lets say "bobs installation"

this as i can see it unzips all the files needed for the program to be installed including a setup.exe file.

should i point to bobs installation or the setup.exe file created after files have been unzipped to silent install?

also would i be right in putting all the unzipped files into the oems folder say oem/install/nvidia/whichever program! and then pointint to the created folder/files or will the install package do this for me?

this is what i have in runonce at the moment but it just dont work!!

REG ADD %KEY%\041 /VE /D "Nvidea GeForce 5300 Graphics drivers Installation" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\041 /V 1 /D "C:\Install\Nvidia\setup.exe" /f

any help might make my hair regrow!!

thanks in advance

I use WINNT.SIF to setup/install any driver.

Extracts from winnt.sif:

[unattended]UnattendMode=FullUnattended

UnattendSwitch=Yes

OemSkipEula=Yes

OemPreinstall=Yes

UnattendSwitch=Yes

OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers"

[GuiUnattended]

DetachedProgram=%systemdrive%\drivers.exe

[Display]

BitsPerPel=32

Xresolution=1024

YResolution=768

Vrefresh=85

comment - OemPnPDriversPath is populated @T-39 using a selfextracting file containing all my drivers placed on the CDrom in $OEM$\$1\drivers.exe - this is set to extract the drivers to %systemdrive%\drivers\ All my display/sound/printer etc. drivers are installed properly this way. Just remember that OemPnPDriversPath must lead to the drivers INF file.

NOTE: running the manufacturers 'setup.exe' IS NOT REQUIRED to install a driver.

you will need to EXTRACT the files from the manufacturers distributed package.

Nvidia drive are extractable with Winrar or Winzip. You might want to do that and then include your path to OemPnPDriversPath in your winnt.sif file
