i just double checked you can use one parameter without being approved by BÃ¢shrat the Sneaky

DPs_BASE.exe /settings:Your_Settings-File_Name.ini

you can include a path or it will assume same folder as base if path is omitted.

switches are already incorporated but are only allowed to Bâshrat the Sneaky approved Programs through an API call

you have the workaround...

based on the complexity and interaction of the settings
the ini settings solution is better for almost everyone.
not to mention possably exceeding max command line length.

Thank you. For now, I'll script something up with the ini file to get what I want.

Considering the theme of automation and unattended setup here, it would be really nice to see switches like I've been mentioning in future versions.

no you would just run

DPs_BASE.exe

if the ini is valid and the gui line in it is edited to
GUI = "no"

it will run unattended with the settings in the ini.

the down side to this is it has to be set back to yes to get to the gui.

you could play a shell game with the DPs_BASE.ini to do what you want.

then would it be possible to do something like this

dps_Base.exe /loadini:"profile1.ini" etc etc?

for pcs without wireless, i wouldn't include wireless drivers

please checkout the DPs_BASE.ini
you can preconfigure base in that way.

includeing no GUI.

Are there any switches that I can use to automatically slipstream?

I've scripted most of my other integrators now -- ryanvm integrator, wmp11 slipstream, and runoncex so I just load the batch files and it does everything I need.

DP is the only one I've not yet scripted. If it's not a feature already included, please take this as a feature request.

I would like to specify it like

dps_base.exe /source:"?" /packs:"x:\?|?|?|?" /option1:"d1sable" /option2 /slipstream /ktd:"no" /closeonsuccess
