HOW TO: Install Daemon Tools Optimized

[MCT]

well u may try this..

-mount 0,c:\filename.iso

<enable automount>

EDIT: just copy the mount part from the inf & the amountmount_on section & combined them in 1 inf it should work

Nice trick, but I get an error when I try to install the inf file.

This is the line I run.

rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 DaemonTools.inf

I get an error box that says installation fails. Does anyone know why?

It works fine when I right click the inf file, and install it.

[Bâshrat the Sneaky]

i decided to do this because i was bored

You've got to much time! B)

[MCT]

its cause it cant find the file cogliostrio, it MUST be in the same directory (or u can specify an alternate 1)

[cogliostrio]

Im not sure what Im doing wrong, I have all the files in the same directory. Including the cmd file.

This is how my cmd file looks like.

start /wait DaemonTools.msi /qn

start /wait Daemonscript.msi /qn

start /wait DaemonDriveInstall.DaemonScript

rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection  DefaultInstall 128 DaemonTools.inf

Can anyone tell me whats wrong here? cus I dont

[MCT]

rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 .\DaemonTools.inf

[cogliostrio]

Unlike Bâshrat the Sneaky said, you haven't really got much time!

y'rw may take more time.

Anyone else having your system prompt saying it found new hardware after you install D-Tools? Kinda messes up the unattendedness of the install.

[stickfun]

yea, i got that too.

can't find a way around it

[mazin]

There's a topic covering this issue. You can search for it!

[stickfun]

cannot find any thing on this with the search.

here's the screenshot:

hope it helps

[nameht]

anyone can gimme the RunOnceEx command?

for it

start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\DTOOLS\DaemonTools.msi /qn
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\DTOOLS\Daemonscript.msi /qn
start /wait %systemdrive%\Install\DTOOLS\DaemonDriveInstall.DaemonScript
rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 %systemdrive%\Install\Apps\Daemontools\DaemonTools.inf

Would like all the commands under the one heading "Installing Daemon Tools"

and also maybe uninstall the DaemonScript at the same time...

any help would be great thx guys

Hello and thanks for this nice tip.

I followed all the steps you mentioned and got my daemontools.msi from dt346.exe and daemonscripts.msi.

As i wasn't interested by the Makeiso option, i made the following daemontools.inf:

[Version]
Signature=$CHICAGO$

[DefaultInstall]
AddReg = Mount
DelReg = Daemon

[Mount]
HKCR,".ISO",,,"ISO_Image"
HKCR,".CUE",,,"ISO_Image"
HKCR,".CCD",,,"ISO_Image"
HKCR,".BIN",,,"ISO_Image"
HKCR,"ISO_Image\Shell\Mount\Command",,,%16422%\D-Tools\"daemon.exe -mount 0,%1

[Daemon]
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run","DAEMON Tools-1033"

[Strings]
here = """%1"""

I copied the code you've given into a txt file and renamed this txt file: DaemonDriveInstall.DaemonScript

Version|1.5.3|2|
DeviceCount|1|

Finally i made the following batch for tetsting purpose: test.bat

start /wait c:\download\DaemonTools.msi /qn
start /wait c:\download\Daemonscript.msi /qn
start /wait c:\download\DaemonDriveInstall.DaemonScript
rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 c:\download\DaemonTools.inf

I moved Daemontools.msi, Daemonscript.msi, Daemondriveinstall.daemonscript, daemmontools.inf and test.bat under my c:\download folder.

When i started my batch, the installation of daemonttools.msi was done correctly. But when it came to the daemonscripts.msi i get a message saying the installation couldn't finish because my PC was shutting down...and it defiinitly was: in the next second i experienced a fast reboot.

After this reboot, Daemontools is corerctly installed (but require a new reboot) but that's it: the daemontools tray icon is running, no mountiso is available when right ccking an *.iso files and so on...

Well, i don't know where the is the problem, but there is definitly something preventing me from using the *.inf file . Any help would be greatly appreciated

EDIT:Installing the daemontools.inf with a right click work perfectly. Would that mean i made the same error than Cagliostro and forgetting the"." after "rundll32 setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128" ?

But in my case, i mentioned the complete path to my files in my batch (what Cagliostro haven't done). Does that mean this "." should also be added when using the %systemdrive% ?
