l advice u to leave the place where u r for younger people
as u r an old men u should stay away from internet & programming
with this age u can not to understand &  deal with people
younger than u
the result is that u r easly getting annoyed without any
cause
About the  pirates do not talk like that again PLZ
u will become laughable ,i will add u my phone No street & house address when u contact my authorities

if u donot like to deal with posts let the others do who
force u to deal with my post & then closed it
if ur a good man with good intent you should'nt do that

i will inform u that 99.9% of Asian countries & arabic countries populations using street copy of windows OSs
in the internet we pay only for our surfing hours
if you think this phrase will put me in a prison
i will change that easily

have a nice day the  OverFlow

the expert kickarse
iam not using SAD
i used the "Disc" option from the Base
selected M2 for my already slipstreemed sp3 windows pro
selected all the main Driverspacks u provide plus another 3rd party DriverPacks
total of them r 24 ones
iam not using any 3rd party Progs to integrate things like nLite, AutoImage, HFSlip
i integrated all hotfixes & updates as Microsoft instructed
i want my disk to be public so i did not trim or shrink anything like kids do
iam using arabic mui installed during T13 with its up_to_date updates
i installed the familiar applications for the public like
Office with its up_to_date updates
WMP with its up_to_date updates,JAVA,YahooMess,
.Net frameworks 1 & 2 with thier up_to_date updates plus some registry tweaks approved by Microsoft away from the myths that are done without advantages

every thing is done unattended & worked properly
DriverPacks decompressed at the early stage of GUI Mode
drivers installed well as normal at T35
what i did ?
i deactivate the finisher and used my above method to install any new added HW manually

what i did now is instead of 24 packs to be decompressed at the early stage of GUI Mode i use only the main 10 packs u provide to save time
the other packs i kept them for the manual method as discribed above

now...
i got small problem that is
my machine has two display adaptors one is integrated with
the MB the other is detached
although i disabled integrated one from the Bios
but is still is recognized by windows
& both are installed during unattended installation
the problem is my desktop icons disappeared
i restore them when i disabled integrated display adaptor from
Device Manager

will this problem get corrected in my next installation when i allow the
finisher runs as normal during Runonceex stage?

iam going to test this
****
no more KTD selection

what is this command *******& %%i******** doing?

@kickarse
I don't like to waste ur time but
i like to tell that i don't  want u or anybody else to support my
scripts
because i testd it & worked for me very well
the only thing that iam asking is to know a little summary
about the finisher's job
i thank u for ur polite response
i hoped to know why Microsoft developers don't  support using
DPinst.exe
but no need now to know that
thanks

Mr OverFlow iam very thankfull
this what iam looking for (the help from you)
What is the real job for the finisher
i tried to decompile it but failed
i think it was compressed with Armadillon

you said what i've done is the same as SAD which is not indeed
i tell you why
first
i integrate DriverPacks to my CD with M2 i removed KTD this time
(remoing it or keeping it will give no difference for my job)
i need Windows Setup install devices at T35 like sound & graphics & so on
this will saves more time
at the stage where Runonceex entries runs to install applications i used this code to remove %systemDrive%\D & all related files
to safe space that happen at early stage of GUI mode by your presetup.cmd 
**********************
RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\D
%systemdrive%
For %%a in (*.xls *.ini *.exe *.txt *.ins) do del %systemdrive%\"%%a"
************************
instead of using more than 2Gb for DriverPacks i used only 670MB
by making new folder %systemDrive%\Ali\Dpa & copy all compressed packages inside so as to save space as i told before
by running this code
**************
f not Exist %systemDrive%\Ali md %systemDrive%\Ali
SET TAGFILE=\OEM
FOR %%i IN (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y) DO IF EXIST "%%i:%TAGFILE%" SET CDDRIVE=%%i:& GOTO DPsFound
:DPsFound
md Ali\DriverPacks
copy /y %CDDRIVE%\OEM\DP*.7z %systemDrive%\Ali\DriverPacks
*************************
i clear Device Path entry value in the registry that you make early by running your DEVPATH.EXE
************
SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
reg delete %KEY% /V DevicePath /f
reg add %KEY% /V DevicePath /t REG_EXPAND_SZ /D %systemRoot%\inf /f
set KEY=
*************************
by executing the DriverInstaller CMD then i give a menu to the user to select his appropriate package No
from %systemDrive%\Ali\DriverPacks
************
@echo off
Mode Con: Lines=90 Cols=90
color 1f
echo off
for  /f "tokens=1,* delims==" %%a in ('type Re') do echo %%b
set /P NUMB=Select suitable Package No^>
******************
so only the selected package will be exrtacted then
initiating the DPInst.exe to search only the extracted one to save more time than SAD does
Second
the  Ms  DPInst.exe tool u provide is not localized so i downloaded the
localized one for my ararbic users so they know what the wizard instruct them to do
i think According MS White paper after you install ur HD by using this tool noting else is needed
so i wonder why u insist on using finisher afterwards
*****************
to be more clear for my job this my CMD file instead of using DP_Inst_Tool.cmd that will loss our time
& people will hate waiting about an hour to install
just one device
**********************
My CMD file i call it DriverInstaller.cmd

@echo off
Mode Con: Lines=90 Cols=90
color 1f
echo off
for  /f "tokens=1,* delims==" %%a in ('type Re') do echo %%b
set /P NUMB=Select suitable Package No^>

for  /f "tokens=1,2,3 delims== " %%a in ('type Re') do if %NUMB%==%%c set SS=%%a
 
color 4f
un7zip.exe "%systemDrive%\Ali\DriverPacks\%SS%" "%~dp0"

DPInst.exe
RD /S /Q D
For %%a in (*.xls *.ini *.txt *.ins) do del "%%a"
exit
**************************************
after the device get installed
all extracted stuff will be removed to save space
again
**********
you see now that SAD is not the same my job

MR kickarse i thank u so much
i just put my scripts and everything i did to show the experts here
am i going right or no & not teaching others how batch works
i think my scripts are easer than the need to explain them
i know already that Dpfnsher.exe is better but what to as iam greedy to include all of the Driverpacks in my CD which
is suppoesd to give it to my companions
as i told before with KTD feature more than
2 hours for the Dpfnsher.exe to finish its job
i used many tools to Monitor the Function Calls & activity
of Dpfnsher.exe but still not  succeeded
At the end
I tell u that what u have done is really
great
supplying us just the Driverpacks with its tools
is good thing
