Hi,

I find weird you to install your drivers without rebooting....
When you use guirunonce to install your catalyst driver, you install your sound blaster and logitech, etc without rebooting??

Do you have a solution so that the computer reboot between each instal??

Not difficult...

You'll have to do something like this:

START /WAIT ati_catalyst_setup.exe /switches
REGEDIT /S new_GUI_Run_Once_entries.reg
shutdown.exe -r -t00

I hope you understand it.

Why dont you use the simpler uA style of installing drivers

Extract all files from ur drivers exe's or compressed files into $OEM$\Drivers and set this path in ur unattend file "winnt.sif"....

thanks Bâshrat the Sneaky, I think that I got it :
I put that code in a setup-catalyst.cmd which I call in the guirunonce.
and "new_GUI_Run_Once_entries" is replaced by another c:\driver\setup-driver.cmd




angadsingh007 : I can't use that method to install the control panel (and I use it to configure my TV-out), and the same with my logitech drivers, my sound blaster drivers and my dvd-recorder driver (I have the plextor 716A which need plextool to be installed if I want to use all the fonctionality offered by this recorder)

MSFN member SiMoNsAyS has created a guide for installing the ATI catalyst drivers unattendedly. I used this guide myself to include them on my uA CD. You can check it out for yourself here.

you can install your drivers from cmdlines.txt, so when setup does restart (which it always does) you will be all set to proceed with the rest of your install i.e your guirunonce section...

I thank you all for your answers.

I'll use Bâshrat the Sneaky's method since I have many drivers with panels (graphic, souns, lan, dvd recorder, mouse, keybord, and so on) and I want to reboot beetween each install. that's exactly what I wanted!!
