I'm trying to add installing the bluetooth drivers for my IBM Thinkpad T40 to my unattended CD but I cant seem to get the switches correct for a silent install...

Software is available at... http://www-306.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss...ocid=MIGR-50245

It is install shield, but I've tried doing the -R to create a setup.iss, it doesn't create one. I've tried the various switches I've found... including /s /v"/qb" and /s /a /s /v"/qb" but nothing is working... I still have to keep clicking NEXT all the way through.

Can anyone help?
gosh
bluetooth will be in sp2, wait for it.

Considering there were reports back in 2001 and 2002 that MS was adding bluetooth support to WinXP (see.. http://www.cnn.com/2001/TECH/ptech/12/13/xp.bluetooth.idg/ and http://news.zdnet.co.uk/hardware/chips/0,3...,2122942,00.htm and http://news.com.com/2100-1040_3-255394.html ), and here we are in 2004 and haven't seen it yet, I'm not to sure what to expect.

Any word on how the MS bluetooth drivers in SP2 will compare to the Widcomm drivers that work great, and everyone seems to like?

Is there a list of devices supported by the MS Bluetooth drivers? (To check and see if mine are listed? I have both bluetooth in my laptop, and a USB dongle)

I found a solution....

Downloaded AUTOIT from http://www.hiddensoft.com/AutoIt/ and wrote a script as follows......

;--- Begin install---------------

Run("C:\drivers\WIN\BDCACT\setup.exe")

WinWaitActive("IBM Integrated Bluetooth II Software", "Next >")
Send("n")
Send("a")
Send("n")
Send("n")
Send("i")

WinWaitActive("Driver Signature Notice", "OK")
Send("o")
Send("{enter}")

WinWaitActive("IBM Integrated Bluetooth II Software", "Finish")
Send("f")

WinWaitClose("IBM Integrated Bluetooth II Software")

MsgBox(0, "My Bluetooth Install", "Setup is now complete... Enjoy your Bluetooth",15)

;-----End Install --------------


Thats it. Compile as an EXE and run that EXE rather than the SETUP.EXE to launch the install. No key presses necessary. smile.gif
