			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>So finaly after stressfull days with a lot business i want to answer all open questions...</p><p><strong>DPinst:</strong></p><p>after discussion with colleague which possibilitys we have and which one we should choose, we decided to run the dpinst every boot as a service. we think we can seal the machine (if we want) based on returncodes from dpinst. (we hope there are some - not yet researched)</p><p>to conclude:<br />i realised it with a service with no error logging (no messages) which runs on start up with configured xml file.<br />services starts and will end after 1-2 secounds. We think this is the best and most professional workaround.</p><p><strong>New Hardware Found Wizard:</strong><br />there were two seperated things i mixed unfortunatly.</p><p>the hardware wizard as it self and the dialog box which asks for found driver but searches for specific files. (like &quot;install from disk message box&quot;.) (our windows i localised, i don&#039;t know the real wording)</p><p>1. the hardware wizard pop up / searching for files get&#039;s fixed with SetDevicePath.exe as it should. (NICE!)<br />2. the &quot;searching for file/install from disk&quot; box isn&#039;t fixed with SetDevicePath. It&#039;s only fixable with another entrie in registry (i don&#039;t remeber the right one right now) (Install Source, ServicePack Source or something in \Windows\CurrentVersion). (easy for everyone to proof)</p><br /><p>thanks</p>]]></content>

The description that it&#039;s like PXE streaming boot is pretty close on the real projekt with one difference. Think about that PXE has no ability for individual settings, but I have the ability. But this has risks for security reasons. If i open this possibility, than the user can also do changes which i want to avoid. This all has to do with security restrictions.</p><p>Concept 0: Installing drivers on first boot with dpinst without restart.<br />* Again: I understand that the method like installing display drivers without reboot on system start isn&#039;t possible.<br />- fail</p><p>Concept 1: Install drivers on several machines to integrate them fully functional.<br />* This is to specific. So only the selected devices on the real machine are integrated and no other pid vid devices.<br />- fail</p><p>Concept 2: Installing drivers with dpinst while first start. <strong>Wait some time.</strong> SAVE. Restart. Use.<br />* The normal way, but because of the security restirctions. it&#039;s difficult to handle.<br />- ~</p><p>Concept 3: Installing drivers with dpinst. seal. | image boots up, <strong>Card should be detected</strong>. SAVE. Restart. Use.<br />* Doesn&#039;t work. - The driver isn&#039;t installed fine. yelllow exclamation mark and the annoying found new hardware wizard.<br />* Because of the security restirctions. it&#039;s difficult to handle.<br />- would be nice, but doesn&#039;t work well.</p><p>Concept 4: Installing drivers with dpinst. seal. | image boots up, <strong>dpinst runs again (much faster).</strong> SAVE. Restart. Use.<br />* The only difference to concept 2 are the preinstalled drivers which saves time while the dpinst process.<br />* Because of the security restirctions. it&#039;s difficult to handle.<br />* This is a process which runs every time once. - Process should be avoided.<br />- seems to work. But i this it&#039;s not a real good deal.</p><p>So now we may can try to figure out the dpinst behavior i described here and in short in my previous post?<br />(Pay attation to the bold keywords.)</p><p><strong> And may you can give some recommendation you would prefer </strong></p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>pferd5, are changes saved back to disk or is this something that&#039;s more like a iso boot that just get&#039;s stored into ram? Because if that&#039;s the case a reboot is obviously going to reset it. Perhaps you should look at boot-land.net and the 911cd.net forums for help on the solutions.</p>]]></content>
