I have extracted files from LiveDrvUni-Pack(ENG).exe and installed drivers normally with -r switch to obtain the response file setup.iss.

Now, when I try to install drivers in silent mode with -s -f1"MyDirectory\setup.iss" switches, the setup process doesn't start at all but I obtain only a setup log with a ResultCode=-105 (For succesfull setup the value should be 0)

The sound card is a Live Player 1024

Any suggestions?

[Alanoll]

you might have the iss file pointed to wrong.
i'm not sure if the "\MyFolder" thing works. I used teh %systemdrive% variable so i don't have to worry about locations.

but i had that error, and makin sure it pointed to teh file in the right folder helped.

[Igor]

The path where is setup.iss is right and precisely I use "%systemdrive%\drivers\sblive\audio\setup\setup.iss". I have tried several times and I alwais obtain a resultcode=-105. What does it mean?

[Igor]

Anyone that succesfully has installed in silent mode those drivers?

[Numinous]

yeps.. well, i install the audigy drivers but im sure they contain live drivers too.. its all to do with the setup.iss.. follow the guide

http://unattended.MSFN.org/xp/applications...stallshield.htm

i use the command.. setup.exe -a -r -f1"c:\setup.iss" to record my options ..you'll find your setup.iss in c: then copy it over

only thing i do different..

[Igor]

The only difference is -a switch. What does it mean?

[Numinous]

The /a switch causes Setup.exe to perform an administrative installation. An administrative installation copies (and uncompresses) your data files to a directory specified by the user, but does not create shortcuts, register COM servers, or create an uninstallation log.

hmmm probably better off without it

Don't know if this will work for everyone but it does for me.

I copied the root files, and two directories ('winxp_2k' & 'common')from //Audio/Drivers on my Soundblaster Live CD into a directory called 'LiveDrv' on my XPCD as shown below. The /s switch on CTZAPXX.exe appears to give a silent driver install. I call this up out of my main_batch.cmd file as shown below:

start /wait %systemdrive%\Drivers\Sound\Creative\LiveDrv\CTZAPXX.exe /s

No surround mixer with this, just the drivers, but that's all i want :-) Only downside is that it takes 34.5MB of my CD up I'm sure i (you) could trim this down

Hope this helps someone. Great forum & my 1st post

This seems quite an interesting trick indeed. Anyone confirmed yet whether it works on their machines?

Thank you very much

Is there anything for the Sound Blaster Audigy by any chance? (I'm assuming those are for the Sound Blaster Live only)

[DaveXP]

erm....i put the drivers in the $OEM$\$1\drivers folder that works fine, why not do that?

[Screwz Luse]

Well, I tried that and it didn't seem to work for some reason. Ah, I'll double check my paths and everything.

[Marztabator]

You are aware that the Soundblaster Drivers folder needs to be referenced in winnt.sif as well, right? Just checking.

[Alanoll]

say you had everything install from a CD. how would you get it to be referenced in the winnt.sif?

[SKiTLz]

been wondering the same as Im trying to keep as much as possible on the disc!

[Screwz Luse]

Well, to accomplish this, you would extract the drivers into $OEM$/$1/Folder (I used drivers) and then in your winnt.sif file (located in your I386 directory if you've correctly created it), and go to the [Unattended] section. This is what I have:

OemPnPDriversPath="drivers\3com_90xv54\Disk1;drivers\soundblaster;"

Edited it a bit so it wasn't huge but you get the idea.

[Stream2k]

The reference to the live drivers in winnt.sif is the first method i tried. I didn't have any joy with this with my particular setup, my live drivers would never install properly if i just referenced them there (yellow exclamation in device manager). Hence i use the method detailed in my 1st post of this thread. The method using the /s switch does not require the drivers to be referenced from winnt.sif file.

well....thats what i'm trying to AVOID.
those would get copied onto the hdd.
is there anyway to reference them without copying to the harddrive?
