I used to rely on hidec for silent WinRAR installers, but have since moved to Oleg Scherbakov's modified 7zip stub. It has built in support for silently executing batch scripts.
However I do still find uses for hidec and it drives me crazy when other people complain about AV warnings in my stuff.
Hidec is widely used to silently run batch files or other console programs. One of it's virtues was the fact that it wasn't picked up by antivirus like cmdow is. Unfortunately that has changed and it's now picked up by a few scanners.
Here is what VirusTotal says about it:
AntiVir - SPR/Tool.Hide.A
AVG - HideExec.EV
Webwasher-Gateway - Riskware.Tool.Hide.A
I've removed these signatures. File size is still the same at 1.5kb, I did not pack the exe. Please keep this file here... don't spread it around everywhere.
Usage: hidec /w program
/w is optional and instructs Hidec to wait for program termination

updated, created a complete guide. would a kind mod please clean up my useless posts for me?
If you've ever tried to debug a failed installation with the recovery console, you've probably run into the issue of your password not being accepted.
Here's how to get around it:
open spcmdcon.sys with a hex editor.
here's the search and replace bytes:
change 0F 95 85 E3 FD FF FF (setnz [ebp+var_21D])
to: C6 85 E3 FD FF FF 00 (mov [ebp+var_21D], 0)and then modifype your patched file and overwrite original.
Now Recovery Console won't ask for password.
Tested on: XP SP3 Recovery Console
If the bytes are different for other versions of windows just let me know and I'll make a patch for them too
I don't use the directory or do anything that would cause it to happen. The strange thing is it only happens on real hardware. I can't reproduce it in a VM with the same exact installation image. Another thing I noticed is that "\D" folder varies in the amount of files successfully deleted. In one installation it was basically full, in another it only had one folder left.
I have an idea for a workaround, just a simple retry in the AU3 code. I'll try something out later and see if it works.
this guide assumes you already have slipstreamed driverpacks onto your installation media
part 1: binary edits
1.) copy boot.bin (your 2kb CD boot sector) to boot2.bin
2.) open boot2.bin with hex editor, replace setupldr.bin with myloader.bin
3.) copy setupldr.bin to myloader.bin and open in hex editor
4.) make following changes (for every occurrence):
setupdd.sys changes to ddsetup.sys, txtsetup.sif to setuptxt.sif, winnt.sif to winnt.org
5.) copy setupdd.sys to ddsetup.sys and open in hex editor
6.) search for unicode string dosnet.inf and change to netdos.inf
7.) use modifype to fix crc in ddsetup.sys and then compress if you want
8.) uncompress setup.org, rename to setp2.exe, compress if you want
part 2: text edits
1.) winnt.org should be fine, but double check that it has what you want
2.) copy dosnet.org to netdos.inf and open in notepad
3.) in [Files] section replace d1,setup.exe with: d1,setp2.exe
4.) in [Files] section add: d1,ddsetup.sys and leave the setupdd entry
5.) copy txtsetup.org to setuptxt.sif and open in notepad
6.) in [SourceDiskFiles] replace setup.exe line with: setp2.exe = 100,,,,,,,2,0,0,setup.exe
7.) in [SourceDiskFiles] add: ddsetup.sys = 100,,,,,,3_,,3,,,1,4
now you're finished, just point your bootloader of choice to boot2.bin for your non driverpacks installation, and of course use your original boot.bin for the driverpacks installation
don't forget to delete bootfix.bin when you make a multiboot disk
hopefully I didn't forget anything...
maybe before you release it you could implement my bugfix or a similar fix?
http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=2892
cheers
Did you overwrite or modify your winnt.sif? Does it still have the dpsfnshr entry in the guirunonce section?
Do you have any other guirunonce programs? If so, is there any chance any of them could reboot the system?
I don't think I've ever had a problem with the finisher not running.
post your DPsFnshr.log (@ C:\Windows\DPsFnshr.log) please.
Yeah I hear ya. That extra time factored into testing a bunch of packs a bunch of times could get old.
Just to clarify though, what I meant by "check once" was a check where say a DP is scanned, and then an entry made in the INI so it isn't checked again later. But if someone is having problems with corrupt files that probably wouldn't do any good.
I assume by your x2 comment that you would check before and after integration, but probably just a check afterwards would do. Whatever 
are you drunk?
I thought the idea of a "check once" sounded good, but really I think if you're having problems with corrupt files that the "check once" won't be much better than a check every time.
I personally don't see the need for it, but it's very simple to implement and could be optional so it might be worth a try.
I did a quick test on this machine (2ghz), and it took 8 seconds to do a 7z.exe t *.7z on LAN/WLAN/Chipset/MassS
Sounds good to me. Better get started
+1 on VirtualBox. It's the only VM I've been using for the past 6 months.
I used to use only VMWare because it was more compatible and was quite a bit faster than VPC. But Virtual Box is the best of both worlds: It's small, fast, and free. (and I haven't had any compatibility issues)
Well, I figured it out. I installed again and took a look at the runonce key that gets set and it doesn't work.
cmd.exe /c "if exist C:\D then rd /s /q C:\D"
returns: 'then' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.
I've updated the autoit script and created a sample DPsFnshr.exe with the changes.
Const $_FINISHERDIR = StringReplace(@ScriptDir, "\", "")
changed to:
If StringRight(@ScriptDir,1)=="\" Then
Const $_FINISHERDIR = StringTrimRight(@ScriptDir,1)
Else
Const $_FINISHERDIR = @ScriptDir
EndIf

forfilled changed to fulfilled ;)I changed the $_FINISHERDIR constant to what I think the actual intent of the coder was. The original was kind of a hack and this is more future-proof.
The other two changes produce output similar to this: cmd.exe /c rd /s /q "C:\D"
Tested and working on real hardware. Directory is no longer left behind.
I don't add/change users with nlite and I haven't modified anything. It's just a standard point and click DriverPacks integration. AFAIK I've had this issue with Base for a long time now, but I never really cared enough to report it since it's not that big of a deal.

EXITThanks, but I can read too. I've rebooted no less than 5 times and the directory remains. Same thing happened on my last install.
With the same installation image the directory is removed in VM. But on real hardware the directory is not removed.

I meant to post here a while back but forgot. 806C is working great for me, thanks for implementing the fix.
(PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3149&SUBSYS_18281019&REV_80\3&13C0B0C5&2&78)
SamLab: Did you ever get VIA working on that other motherboard?
SamLab, if you want to test my VIA fix here's a modded 804h2. Even though it's got an official sounding name it's unofficial.
Here's a page on PCI Class Codes:
I thought you had a good idea with 804h, but it didn't work for me 
I'm having same problem with 8.04 and 8.04f test pack. I have
PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3149&SUBSYS_18281019&REV_80\3&13C0B0C5&2&78
Moving V4 in front of V did not help, 3 cds down but I'm going to investigate this and report a fix.
Okay, here's my fix, tested and working:
edit .ini:
add PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3149&CC_0101 to [V3], remove PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3149&CC_0101 from [V4]
edit V3\VMINIIDE.INF:
add %VT8237.SATA.DeviceDesc% = vide_PATA_Inst_x32,PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3149&CC_0101 ;VT8237 SATA Controller to [VIA_MiniIDE]
add VT8237.SATA.DeviceDesc = "VIA Serial ATA Controller - 3149" to [Strings]
edit V4\VIPRT.INF:
remove PCI\VEN_1106&DEV_3149&CC_0101

Wouldn't it make more sense to organize the LAN/WLAN packs according to chipset?
