Asus C90S Custom AutoInstall Windows XP 32Bit by Swoley2k

UPDATED!!!!! UPDATED!!!!! UPDATED!!!!!

This is a custom made autoinstall for the Asus C90s notebook.



REQUIREMENTS:

This custom made autoinstall is intended for Asus C90S notebooks with a fresh install of English Windows Vista 64 bit SP1
Edition ONLY. Any use of this on an old installation or on any other operating system may cause unwanted results and is
therefore not recommended.



PURPOSE OF PROJECT:

The purpose of this autoinstall is to address the following issues with the disc included
with the Asus C90S:

1. P: The cd AutoInstall program uses a visual interface which separates drivers from utilities with multiple reboots
throughout. This causes the user to have go through the drivers autoinstall and then begin the utilities autoinstall
separately.

S: This project solves this issue by running a single batch file to install both drivers and utilities with a single
reboot.


2. P: The Intel Wireless Lan driver is not the correct driver for the wireless card in the Asus C90s.

S: This custom install solves this issue by replacing the wrong files with the correct ones.


3. P: The total files on the disc are too large to fit onto a CD-ROM disc or flash media.

S: This project solves this issue by deleting unnecessary files and folders as well as
manipulating them in ways to compact the total size of the disc.


4. P: The driver and utility versions are out of date.

S: This project solves this issue by bringing all drivers and utilities up to date. This
was accomplished by a thourough search of Asus.com and the internet. Drivers were found not only on the
C90S section of Asus.com but by combing through drivers for other notebooks and a search of the internet.
The drivers are the most up-to-date versions that actually WORK. There may be newer versions out there but
they do not install correctly, whether it be in my AutoInstall method or just installing stand alone. When
a version comes out that actually works then I will update it.

**The Camera driver is the stock driver from the cd. The newer camera drivers send Windows into the infamous "Test Mode". As of today, there is
no way to work around this problem. Sorry...

**This project requires a naturally WHQL certified driver (no modded .inf file). Therefore, it uses the lastest WHQL driver which is version 175.97.
The batch file allows you to select an install with or without the VGA drivers.



EXECUTING THE PROGRAM:

Simply run AutoInstall.bat



CREDITS AND INFO:

This custom autoinstall was a task taken on solely by myself. There was very careful work put into
this project and I feel confident that I have done the best of my ability to deliver an excellent
solution to users of the Asus C90S. This project was originally intended for use by myself only. The
project evolved into a distributed project due to my belief that others should have the same benefits
of this project as myself. For those of you who remember, my approach for this project has changed
considerably. Originally, I used the supplied GUI. After almost 2 months of failed attempts due to
unknown causes for inconsistency, I scraped that approach in favor of the batch file method.



CONTACT FOR ISSUES OR COMPLIMENTS:

Any issues with this program should be sent to [email protected]. Please be as detailed as you can in
describing your issue. Also please ensure that you are using the required software and hardware before
using this program.

Thankyou very much for your criticism and compliments!

Link is now posted. Enjoy!

 

NVMD, was corrected

 

Ok updated and ready! Sorry for delays!

 

Swoley outdid himself here. Auto install pack is tested and proven. If an idiot like me can do it, so can you.

He's also available online via AOL IM to answer any questions regarding the pack...

Downloaded. Haven't tried it yet but I.m sure it's going to work. Thanks!

 

Added to Info Booth sticky.

 

Finally, new version added. Please read the ENTIRE readme file FIRST!

 

Ive noticed that there have been numerous viewers of this thread yet hardly any comments. I am not upset because I chose to do this project, but I cant help but wonder if anyone actually cares or uses it. I spent almost 2 months working on this feverishly and plan to do some more work on it in the near future. However, if no one uses it I dont see a point in distributing it to the public. It would be much easier to make the project for my own personal use. If that was the case I woudl have been done with it in March. I would appreciate some feedback.

Again, im not upset.

 

I use it, I use it. Its in the forum sticky so its not like it needs to be bumped or anything. I'm surprised your not getting rep for this!

D.

 

Worked nicely. Finally found that IR driver that was bothering me since I did i clean install of XP.

Thanks!

 

UPDATED AGAIN! This time the project includes the option of installing without the VGA drivers. Read the ENTIRE readme file first!

 

Thanks for making this available. I have it but cannot use it till classes are over (2 weeks) so I will let ya know when I run it. Can't wait to try it. Wish I could just run the drivers portion of it, thats really all I need since I reformatted recently.

Will you update for SP3?

 

Theres really nothing to update for sp3. I could do a silent install of it but it would cause a much longer installation time. The user would do better to just integrate sp3 into their windows xp installation disc. This is why I havent considered implementing sp3.

 

hi, swolley.. i've had my system running on 07/07 drivers and wares , and have only one real issue and that is with the bluetooth interfereing with my wireless, has this issue been looked at or is it just likely my problem.

Great to see this kind of thing available , too bad asus cant manage to look after their customers aswell as you can..

 

double clicked autorun.exe, and it dint work, just flashed a dos screen for a few secs,

 

You will have to describe the bluetooth problem in great detail so I can try to recreate it and fix it.

Make sure you meet the software and hardware requirements. Also read the ENTIRE readme first!.txt file before running the program. I find it pretty unlikely the program doesnt work if you follow the prerequisites and directions.

 

There is the possibility this is only a malfunction of your particular machine. Like swoley2k says, more info about the problem is required for useful suggestions.

 

Just tried it tonight. Reminder to others to make sure you follow directions.

Now that the disclaimer is out of the way: I installed it on an old XP install. I was aware and ready to have to reformat and reinstall after not following directions. It installed everything, although it threw an error right at the end (can't remember what). It restarted and everything looks good. I am having less game glitches and all the Asus drivers seem to be working right.

I misunderstood what this was for. I mistakenly thought it was an installation of XP with the c90 drivers on it. That's why I asked about sp3. My mistake.

Thanks for taking the time to put this together.

 

Great. The error at the end occurs if the windows xp install is not fresh. It deals with the method I used to restart the system after the drivers are installed. It must install a small file for windows that allows certain softwares to restart the system. If another program already installed the file it gives an error copying it. It will still restart of course and all is well. Thanks for comment.

Im still waiting on some whql vga drivers to show up again....or new chipset drivers.

 

Newly Updated!

 

Whats new in this one Swoley ?

 

Thanx, downloading newer version now. Going to a LAN tonight and I want a fresh XP install, don't even wanna think about Vista. Don't get me wrong, I love Vista, I just discovered a performance bug with Office 07 and Vista that slows Vista to a crawl. I'll install Vista 64 on a partition on the weekend, for now thank you for this simple driver pack!

 

Updated!!!!

 

For some reason I can't enable of disable the touchpad. Any ideas how I might be able to fix this?

 

FIXED!

Had to fix a minor problem with the program.

 

Sorry guys but...I am selling my Asus C90S. It is in the Buy, Sell, Trade forum...

 

Why i liked what you did, i even registered to say thank you.

 

Swoley2k thank you a lot...since I use you installation drivers I havent got any trouble on my C90S...indeed I appreciated your time on this project

 

Swoley thanks for creating this. It helped out immensely! I gave you more rep!
