Dont know wether this helps but also i have it on a raid drive which i get it all installed to no probs picks it up fine, but when i get too windows and check it in device manager the Raid controller isnt actually installed, and i have to point it too the folder on the cd and then it installs fine? any ideas why? i guess its also down to this OemPnPDriversPath problem im getting!

:/

[Aaron]

I don't know why you're trying to install the Control Panel using that, the extracted files don't contain any INF files.

Where did OemSigningPolicy=Ignore come from? Is this different to DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore in some way?

[atomic7431]

erm it came off this site somewhere lol, i dont remeber exactly where, ill change it to the one u sugested, as to the control panel i was just testing to see if it would work in any way as it doesnt seem to install any of the drivers out of there any ideas why?

name the file setup.iss and place it in the same folder as the via executable

and execute the hyperion setup file from one of the batch files like so(for the example let's assume the file is called setup.exe and it's placed in the via4in1 folder)

start /wait %systemdrive%\install\via4in1\setup.exe /s /a /s /f1"%systemdrive%\install\via4in1\setup.iss"

as for the catalyst control panel i'm not sure cuse i have nvidia vga card but if the control panel executable is in the installshield format you can execute it with the -R switch in the end it will generate at the systemroot directory file called setup.iss as with the via4in1 and than u will have to put the setup.iss in the same directory as the ati control panel installation and use the same command format as with the via4in1 shown above and execute it from one of the batch files(i personally did it with nvidia control panel and it worked)

HOPE I COULD HELP

[Aaron]

Well I was just wondering, because DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore doesn't work for some people who use drivers that aren't WHQL certified.

for the ATI Control Panel, I install them via a silent installsheild installtion using an ISS file in GuiRunOnce.

For the Catalysts, I wasn't aware there was "Drivers" directory seperating the main extracted files and the 2KXP_INF folder. But then I'm only looking at the extracted 3.6 drivers, 3.7's directory structure might be different, which I haven't checked yet.

[atomic7431]

SOOPAFLY - thanx for the input ill take a peek

i dl the full package in one hit 22meg i think and that puts the ati dirvers in a folder inside the directory if that helps

[Dross]

I'm trying to get the OMEGA 3.7s with the 9500-->9700 hack. Let me know if you get the basic 3.7 working.

[atomic7431]

ok i got the 3.7 driver installed for the first time tonight, i downloaded the individual driver and control panel packages, extracted the driver to its own directory then put it in the drivers folder, pointed the oem path to the inf folder inside the driver files and it seems to have worked a ok, im currently burning another dvdrw to test the install again with the control panel installed as well so ill post more details if it all goes to plan.

my install on my pc takes a fair while as ive got over a 3.3 gig install disc so may be a little while

[Aaron]

best way to test quicker is to remove the stuff thats working perfectly, and do it in vmware/virtual PC so you don't have to waste dvd-r discs.

[Yazoo]

VirtualPC simulates hardware so it won't show if the ATI's have been installed or not. The only true way is to burn a re-writable and try.

The only time I get the CP 3.7 to install is if I do it standard setup.exe (non silent) and click no to reboot at the end of installation. Haven't managed to install CP silenbtly yet. but the control panel, looks as if it is installing but it doesn't

I can get the ATI drivers to install using thr OemPnPDriversPath

Everything else is now working OK just this **** ATI Control Panel left. Anyone managed it yet?

[Dross]

I don't know about the control panel. Does anyone know about the omega 3.7s? They have the control panel integrated with the installation and the 9500-->9700 hack is optional. I would like to silently install these with the 9500-->hack.

I'm fairly new at this! I got virtual PC running now and I'm testing a basic unattended install! Fun stuff!

Any help greatly appreciated!

ok mine is nearly at the stage where it installs the control panel. ill let u know how i get on, ive heard sound so it seems as if it installed me sound drivers through the oemdriverpath option. so at this moment all seems ok ill post again soon!

[Yazoo]

OK solution to the control panel,

when you uncompress the control panel archive you will find a setup.iss already in there. Just edit the line BootOption=03 to BootOption=0 now it will install.

For some reason doing a setup -r will create a setup.iss that don't work.

[atomic7431]

sorry not posted earlier but been very busy.

ok the -r on the control panel for ati DID WORK without fault for me, it was the last thing i installed and it worked a treat!!!!

my .cmd file is as follows -

CLS
@echo off
ECHO.
start /wait c:\DRIVERS\3.7control_panel\Setup.exe -s -f1"c:\DRIVERS\3.7control_panel\setup.iss"
EXIT

my .iss file for it is as follows -

and i call all this through my setup.reg file as follows -

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx\zz570]
"1"="cmd.exe /c start /min /wait C:\\DRIVERS\\control_panel3_7.cmd"
@="ATI Control Panel 3.7"

so the -r way does work!!!!

i got it too install all me drivers for the first time as well ie ati drivers, sound,via network driver all through the oemdriverpath
