Jun 17, 2009 Thanks Shakeyplace, Finally i installed Windows 7 RC 32 Bits without the pci card (via raid sata controller), and after the OS was installed, i put the pci card inside of my computer (canceling the default OS driver installation, and installing the VIA SATA Drivers Version 3249 downloaded from the official VIA website). Can someone tell me how to integrate the. VT6421/VT6410/VT6420/VT8237 ComboRAID Driver. SATA drivers to my 64Bit XP VLK? The lastest Drivers can be download here.

There are two operation modes, Windows UI and command line, to executeinstallation and remove. The most popular is the Windows UI mode that providesconvenient user interface and systematic operation. The command line mode, alsocalled as silent mode, need user append more parameters behind SETUP.EXE asanswer to make the setup program silence without pop any dialogs.
There are possible two types setup package you may have. One iscompressed as a zip file includes visible setup and driver files. Another oneis made as a self-extracted-execution file. In the following, we will show youthe steps to complete driver installation and remove with both package types.
If the downloaded file isZIP-compressed format, please extract it to proper location in your hard diskfirst. Then launch the SETUP.EXE by double-clicking. Otherwise, you coulddouble-click the self-extracted-execution file and wait for few seconds for theself-extraction. The extracted file will be deleted automatically after setuphas been terminated.
If it is the first time toexecute the setup package, you will only have the choice of installation.
After the first timeexecution, you could have choice to make Update and Remove. You will see twooptions, Update and Remove in the first shown dialog. If you are going toupdate the driver, please active the Update radio button and press next buttonto enter next steps. Else, if you are going to remove the installed driver inyour system, please active the Remove radio button and press next button toenter next steps.
There is another path toremove the installed driver is to go through “Add Remove Programs” service ofcontrol panel. An uninstall item is added after install ,VIA Platform Device Manager, to handle all the installed VIA driver components.
The silent mode are usuallyapplied to system maintainer for servicing hundreds systems that wont haveinteractive user interface. They would execute the setup through command linein console or batch file execution without closing any popped dialog popped orpressing next buttons. In addition, the command line parameters of these twotypes of downloaded file format get few differences.
In this type package, youcould see a setup.exe in those extracted files. User could append parametersbehind setup.exe as command line in console.
The presentcommand line parameters are: -s and /z'reboot
Parameter | Description |
-s | It is a required command line parameter to enable silent mode operation. If this parameter is missed, the setup |
-zParam1;K;ParamN | It passes predefined parameters to SETUP.EXE. Each parameter, Param1;K;ParamN, should be separated with semicolons. The predefined sub-parameters are: reboot It causes Setup.exe automatically to reboot after the silent mode operation completed. remove It is a switch to cause Setup.exe to remove components. If this parameter is absent, then SETUP.EXE will install components. kompnt:xx,yy,zz It is an optional parameter to assign specific component in this package to be install/remove. The xx,yy,zz should be replaced with component name in which is defined as same as the component folder name of this package. |
Examples:
Command line | Execution |
setup.exe -s | Silent install all included components but not reboot the computer. |
setup.exe -s /z'reboot' | Silent install all component and reboot the computer. |
setup.exe -s /z'reboot;remove' | Silent uninstall all include component and reboot the computer. |
setup.exe -s /z'remove' | Silent uninstall all components but not reboot the computer. |
