    Need help installing some drivers unattended

    in Microsoft Windows XP

    Posted · Edited by Sull

    Hey everyone !!!

    Maybe some of you experts can help me out. As you can tell I own a Sony UX MicrPC, this little bugger has a huge amount of drivers & software for everything to work correctly etc. I belong to a forum dedicated to the Sony UX and I have released a few different driver & application packs for the UX, Sony likes to pack the software with model checks and the newer models come with Vista which is complete shat specially on this tiny UX, long story short. I have the following packs

    Windows XP - Basic driver & application pack ( no model checks )

    Windows XP - Auto driver & application pack ( no model checks either )

    Sull's Integration pack v1.1 ( this integrates everything into your own XP CD )

    The Sony is the most finicky computer I have ever owned as far as installing drivers and software, they have to be installed in the correct order or everything does not work correctly, this can be hard when there is 30 drivers and applications, these packs I made make it a breeze. The problem I have lies within the Auto driver & application pack, this pack is for the user who does not want to mess around integrating the drivers & applications into there own Windows XP CD and does not want to use my basic pack because it takes so long to install, this pack consists of one executable which will install all the drivers & applications unattended.

    A bat file is executed which will install everything, now the problem is the way I try and install the drivers, what I did was back up all the drivers I needed using drivergenius and then used drivergenius to make a executable which I use a switch to run it silently, this executable with all the drivers does not always install all of the drivers, so my question is do you know of a better way I could install approx 24 drivers while Windows XP is running and I would like for it to be relatively easy + of course unattended ?

    EDIT:

    oh and all the drivers are in inf form...

    Hopefully I did not bore you and it all makes some sort of sence :questionmark:

    Thank you

    VMWare Question

    in Software Field

    Posted · Edited by Sull

    Sorry I didn't respond in a timely manner.

    When I create a new virtual machine I choose "User network address translation (NAT)" and if my comp is on the internet I can access it in vmware as well, check in device manager make sure a network device is detected.

    This might help you as well, not sure if this is a glitch or suppose to happen because I have never had it happen before, maybe I just never tried it. I had Vista running in a VM machine and I need to get some DATA off of my external drive, I turned it on and all of a sudden it was detected in the VM machine ( Vista ) and not on my computer, now I don't know if this was because of Vista or not.. I had to turn the VM machine off to get it to detect on my computer again.

    Who knows I may have never hooked up an external drive when a VM machine is running. Worth a shot right, maybe someone could enlighten me...

    PS. how did you get that show your computer specs in your sig ? :icon_cool:

    I feel your pain, I actually just fixed mine.

    it was freezing at T- 13, just now I was trying to remember what it was but for the life of me can't remember.

    This is how I do it.

    1) fresh source files.

    2) I place $OEM$ folder into source, this has a lot of silent installers for my sony, tweaks etc etc.

    3) Integrate SP3.

    4) Integrate Media Player 11.

    5) Run nLite, add IE7 all my adds - huge list, cut out components, unattended, tweaks etc.

    6) Integrate driver packs.

    7) Integrate Speedup

    8) Run V'ISO

    9) Run RunBox patcher.

    Create ISO and test.

    I while ago I switched over and started using the IE7 add named "NonnoFabio_IE7AddOn_1.9.0_ENU.cab" I found the other one was breaking RunOnceEX and I use that to execute a lot of my Sony Software executables.

    I appreciate that you uploaded this but honestly I don't feel like messing around with all those steps lol just to see what it looks like and then change back to a less buggy theme right.

    I said screw it and just applied it, from what I can see the start button/orb looks very nice, that is all I can really say at this time.

    I am looking forward to trying a "fixed" version.

    EDIT:

    send me those fonts and maybe I can try it... :thumbsup_anim:

    Rhor,

    Good work buddy !!!

    Is that theme a msstyle, if so is it possible for you to link me to it. I like what you have done with winntbbu.dll to bad I use classic installation, the logon looks good I might have to give it a try but I do not like the boot/shutdown dialogs...

    Those are some funky looking icons, did you make them yourself ?

    Thanks

    Well one of the last releases of V'ISO has that more Vista like file transfer window, though the button to view the files does not work, also an older version has a different window which shows the file name all the time.

    Have you heard of the program TeraCopy, it may solve your file transferring issues...
