Topic: Silent Finisher from RunOnceEx?

I'm in the process of putting together a "master install" CD for my office, and I'd love it if I could hide the Finisher window when its' run from RunOnceEx.  I know (or, at least, I think) I can silence it by running it from GuiRunOnce, but I'd rather not have multiple things going on when I'm in the middle of installing a bunch of applications...

Is there a switch I can give to DSpFnshr.exe?  Or am I out of luck?

If it helps any, here's an excerpt from my RunOnceEx.cmd file:

FOR %%i IN (D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) DO IF EXIST %%i:\CD.txt SET CDROM=%%i:

SET KEY=HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnceEx

REG ADD %KEY% /V TITLE /D "Installing Applications" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\005 /V 1 /D "regedit.exe /s %CDROM%\$OEM$\tweaks.reg" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\010 /VE /D "DriverPacks Finisher" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\010 /V 1 /D "%SystemDrive%\DPsFnshr.exe" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\012 /VE /D "Backup Exec Remote Agent" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\012 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Install\RANT32\setup.exe /RANT32: -s" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\015 /VE /D "VMWare Tools (If Applicable)" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\015 /V 1 /D "%CDROM%\Install\VMWare\vmware_check.cmd" /f

Either way, I absolutely love the DriverPacks!  Thanks for the tool!

Re: Silent Finisher from RunOnceEx?

I will try to give you an answer...

In the OEM directory, under BIN, there is a file ""DPsFnshr.ini""
add ""splashScreen = false"" like this;

[Settings]

; DO NOT SET THIS MANUALLY, LET THE DriverPacks BASE DO IT FOR YOU! (may NOT contain any spaced, if it does, all exceptions must be adapted to be compatible!)
DPsRoot	= "%SystemDrive%"
splashScreen = false
