I used DP_Graphics_A_PhysX_wnt5_x86-32_810 but when installing windows it promts to select language.
Is it possible to make it automatic without prompting?

Hmm, which language are you using?
First post updated.

I'm using Greek language and I selected English to continue the XP installation.

Maybe you should untick the "silent edit" option so users can actually see when the last edit took place directly in the first post smile

Re: OFFICIAL 3rd Party DriverPacks addons for Graphics DriverPacks (languages & PhysX)

It may be possible to use the command line for the language specific options.  I have no idea if this will work, but you can try and report back.
"fullpathto\physx.exe /qb transforms=1041.mst" replace 1041 with your language code.

I extracted the physX.exe to try some switches but I always get this window:

Odd.  I don't get that.

This screen must be from the extractor (before extracting) because when I choose english then I see the "extracting files" and then the psysX setup.

Re: OFFICIAL 3rd Party DriverPacks addons for Graphics DriverPacks (languages & PhysX)

OK, well it's an .msi based installer.  Executing physx.exe /? will give you the options screen.
This looks helpful:
    /j<u|m> <Product.msi> [/t <Transform List>] [/g <Language ID>]
        Advertises a product - m to all users, u to current user

So this might work:
"physx.exe /v/qb /g 1032"

Or, you could do: "physx.exe /a"
and do an administrative install point to a folder, then rebuild the sfx and use the /qb switch.  Nvidia didn't document the language functions very well (or at all).

I tried those switches but I always get the language selection window before the extraction.
I did some testing and I figure out this:
In the "regional and language options"-> "regional options tab"-> "standard and formats" when Greek is selected I get that window. If I select English I don't get that window and the extraction is done at once. Note that it doesn't matter the "Location" and "Language for non-Unicode programs" is set to Greece.

I'm sorry, I don't know if I can help you.  It's not my installer.
You could try Nvidia's support forums.

Re: OFFICIAL 3rd Party DriverPacks addons for Graphics DriverPacks (languages & PhysX)

Doing an admin install and recompressing with 7zip reduces PhysX file size. It went from 32.8 MB to 8.36 MB.


Download: http://xp.xpdnc.org/PhysX.exe


It could be reduced even more if one were to take the initiative of removing runtimes and whatnot as well. There are also some redundant text files (which would yield infinitesimal differences in file size) that could be removed if one felt like tidying up the installer. I'm not one such person as I don't own an nVidia card, nor would I even be using the PhysX drivers if I did have an nVidia card.

Re: OFFICIAL 3rd Party DriverPacks addons for Graphics DriverPacks (languages & PhysX)

Oh, I forgot to mention ... the file that I posted above is a RogueSpear MultiMode installer.

It requires the -ai or -ai1 parameter in order to run unattended or silent.

i.e.: PhysX.exe -ai

I believe the new 7zSFX also passes unrecognized parameters to its contained install file (so if I'm correct, then "/g 1032" and the like should also work).

Re: OFFICIAL 3rd Party DriverPacks addons for Graphics DriverPacks (languages & PhysX)

Wow, very nice.
Thank you.
