Hi,

My unattended windows works fine, but how can I get rid of the reboot question (that hangs the silent process) at the end of the Catalyst drivers silent installation ?

Thanks...

[SKiTLz]

Yea more info. Where are you installing the cats and how?

[Alanoll]

Skitlz, you question is valid, the the restart question would suggest he is using the InstallShield installer.

create a answer using -r when running the setup, and when it asks to restart, be sure to select no. The answer file will be created in the Windows directory.

there are pcitures and what not there

Ok. Here are the details.

Following the guide, I did a silent installation of the Catalyst driver package from [GuiRunOnce] using an ISS file.

Here is how I did :

In Winnt.sif :
[Unattended]
... OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\000_intel;Drivers\001_ati;Drivers\002_lg;Drivers\003_alcatel"
DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
...
[GuiRunOnce]
%systemdrive%\install\start.cmd

In start.cmd :
...
ECHO.
ECHO Catalyst 3.2
ECHO Please wait...
start /wait %systemdrive%\Drivers\001_ati\Setup.exe -s -f1"%systemdrive%\Drivers\001_ati\setup.iss"
...

In Setup.iss :
[InstallShield Silent]
Version=v6.00.000
File=Response File
[File Transfer]
OverwrittenReadOnly=NoToAll

First, may I point out that Catalyst is currently at version 4.2, so your using outdated drivers... the fixes your missing out are significant...

Pick up the Catalyst 4.2 suite, here....

Secondly, I too have had problems with unwanted reboots installing Catalyst using AaronXP's guide, in short, it doesn't work for me, but each time I have posted about it I didn't get much of a response, other than to 'use the guide'...

Personally I gave up in the end, I just let the OemPnPDrivers bit in winnt.sif find most of the ATI drivers it needs during the Unattended, then I run the ATI stuff by hand once the system is up and finished... Your mileage may vary...

Good luck with it, I'll watch this thread incase you get an answer, as I would love to get this one to install without forcing an unwanted reboot..

I was just going to say. Beat me to it, but yea 3.2 are kinda old mate.

Heres how I do my cat installs and it works fine.

Both run from RunOnceEX

start /wait %SystemDrive%\Drivers\ATi\Catalyst\Setup.exe /s /sms -f2%Logs%\ATi_Catalyst.txt

start /wait %SystemDrive%\Drivers\ATi\CPanel\Setup.exe /s /sms -f2%Logs%\ATi_CPanel.txt

Hope that helps.

I 've checked. I'm using Catalyst 4.2. It is just a syntax error in my start.cmd.

The fact is that the Catalyst drivers are installed correctly (drivers, control panel, smartgart...). But, at the end, I'm asked if I want to reboot or not. What makes the XP installation not fully unattended. When I choose "no reboot" the silent installation completes.

What about putting something like what I found in setup .iss of Intel drivers ?

Of course I did. I haven't read your post before I did mine.
But, nothing seems to work in my Catalyst "setup.iss". I'm always asked to reboot or not.

[SKiTLz]

Try use RunOnceEX. Call a bach file with what I have above in it. If it doesn't work I'll send u a cheque. I know it works..

If I choose to install the Catalyst drivers using the ISS file method, do I need to include any reference to them in OemPnPDriversPath?

no

Could I just use your ISS file? If I had to create my own, I would have to reinstall drivers on my current installation of XP.

[Clifford C. Claven]

I know this issue has been going on for some time now. I also suffer with this problem and even with the solutions in this topic I have yet to find a solution that works with the complete install package. The only way I can get it to work is to create an ISS file for each separate component of the install package (Display Drivers, Control Panel & WDM Drivers) and run them individually/consecutively in the same RunOnceEx entry. You can dl each component separately or just extract the folders from the complete one. It takes a little more time, but it works.
