Br4tt3 Posted June 2, 2006 Share Posted June 2, 2006 (edited) Dunno for sure how ur batch looks but here are some features/trix;1. Batch files can be launched using Start /Wait and accepts /minimize to not hide it but to run it minimized...2. If the driver is installed from an .msi file u can supply switches to the msiexec.exe that will run in quiet mode3. If it is an .exe file... then check if the .exe accepts the correct quiet, unattend switches...4. Batching sux..... vbscript would solve it directly for u...Here is an exemple for u....Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")Function SilentExecApp(pstrCommand) WshShell.Run pstrCommand, 0, TrueEnd FunctionWhen u wanna use it from within the .vbs file u just write something like:SilentExecApp("msiexe /i c:\App\MyMSIApp.msi /quiet") and it's all good....Best RegardsTha Sausage Eater...Or the easier way out as stated by the previous forum member.. intergrate the driver into ur $OEM$ prior to the installation....

TheCrowX Posted June 2, 2006 Author Share Posted June 2, 2006 (edited) Thanx for the answer Br4tt3 i ve been using batching method since a lot i think i ll stick with it any other solution ? Edited June 2, 2006 by TheCrowX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Br4tt3 Posted June 5, 2006 Share Posted June 5, 2006 1. Intergrate the driver prior to the application installation point..2. If the application does not support unattended mode or quiet switches, I would recommend that u "snap" the appliction using a .msi build application. That is not always a good thing, but for home usage, it's all fine.. in this way u will the whole application installed, or placed a the drive, however, u can use the msiexec switches to have it run quietly... with no user interface at all..
