Found New Hardware Wizard confusion.

I am using the GUIRunonce from sysprep. I know you said give RunOnceEX a shot, but will this be my solution for this? I am not real familiar with RunOnceEX but i need to run SAD twice because of the graphic chipset then the graphic driver. I can just add DP_Install_Tool.cmd back into RunOnceEX a second time via bat surely?

So i tried using

@echo off

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

REG ADD %KEY%\001 /VE /D "Installing Drivers" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\001 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\windows\system32\DP_Install_Tool.cmd" /f

And i still get the pop up Found New Hardware Wizard.
Which in turn makes the DP_Install_Tool say PnP manager busy.
I did not try this after a sysprep but just added it to reg and rebooted. I would assume i would have the same results whether it is being syspreped or not.
Ideas?

The dp_inst_tool has nothing to do with the Windows hw detection at first boot.  You're seeing the normal Windows setup post-install at first login.  Any hardware not installed after image extraction will have the hw wiz popup.
If your install uses winnt.sif, then to make it valid you need the following entries:

And to make DriverPacks work without the driver signing popups, you need these entries:

If you don't use a winnt.sif file, then I don't know.  I'm not a sysprep guy.

Are you seeing the hw wiz DURING the dp_inst_tool or BEFORE dp_inst_tool is executed?  That's critical to know.

Read BEFORE you post.  HWID tool   DriverPacks Tutorial   DONATE!

While i did not follow the instructions in this tutorial

I might go through it just for experience.
I am using the GuiRunOnce but call DP_Install_Tool.cmd via a batch file that is called from the GuiRunOnce.
I am not having any issue with the desktop.ini bug ducumented here.

Everything seems to be working for me.

please read up here : http://www.msfn.org/board/new-hardware- … 88585.html and here http://www.msfn.org/board/stop-found-ne … 84196.html for all details about what's going on in my case.. i'm desperate trying to figure it out why new hardware wizard appears  at t-25 asking me for terminal service,mouse,keyboad drivers.. if windows has those drivers in SP3.cab  i got XP pro x86 retail version in spanish languague

i did some tweaks with latest up to date nlite i have in winnt.sif to ignore unsigned drivers..etc, i integrated driverpack method 2 + media player 11.

if i can't find a reasonable explanation for this i could try a script to kill this window... please JustusIV  could i see your script + cmd file for this? how could i implement such script for my case to kill those windows..

please help!!!

ok, a similar problem with this one. If it doesnt fit here, i´ll do a separate topic. Tried to install a printer to a PC and it didnt work, i removed the faulty printer, but the found new hardware wizard still keeps poping up every reboot. Dont know why it still finds the non-existent printer, but it is really annoying. Could this be related to corrupted system file or some kind of faulty registry entry or smth?

i´m sry, can´t find any driver related to printer in my system. Tried driver cleaner professional, but it didnt find anything. Can´t roll back, i prefer that system restore is disabled if i don´t change anything in my system and i use my system as limited user to prevent viruses, i can always click "run as..administrator". I´ll try to find the uninstall tool

geez...i dont even remember the brand of the printer any more. Any good driver cleaner would be handy.

OK! I know now...it´s Canon Bubblejet BJC-240. Tried to clean spooler...It was there and i deleted it, also all drivers from spooler. Also made sure there are no driver related files in windows/system32 or windows/system32/drivers a.s.o. Must i really do clean install or is there a way to control the startup of the found new hardware wizard (almost seems like some sort of corrupted windows core file).
