Annoying Popup !

Hi everyone

Well my problem when my unattended windows installation is finished and start installing the softwares from the batch file windows pop up a window to install a driver

i was wondering if there is a way to to hide it automatically skip or disable it ?

Thanx in advance

What device driver are you missing?

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 mode

3. 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, True

End Function

When 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 Regards

Or the easier way out as stated by the previous forum member.. intergrate the driver into ur $OEM$ prior to the installation....

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..
