Tier Autoinstall & DevState not compatable

[Jeremysjunk]

I'm running
Build 18508.0.7.0
Rev4 of OEM

I finally figured out how to have everything load up from my extended rom so I don't have to install programs manually (E-Sword Included!!)

Now my problem is DevState. I love this program and always install it. I'm using (Tier Autoinstall) and leaving the DevState Cab file in my EXTROM. I can get all my other programs to auto install but when it comes to DevState.WM5.CAB it starts to auto install and freezed right at the end. This happens no matter what! If I auto install it all by its self or if I auto install multiple programs. It will always hang on DevState

It's not a big thing, I can always just manually install it. That works no problem, it's just my goal is to have a fully automated hard reset with all my programs like from factory.

Anyone heard of this problem or know a solution?

The cab probably runs a setup.dll which confuses the Autorun program. It doesn't know that the installation is finished. That's a limit of autorun itself. The cabs can't be too complex or it'll confuse it.

Ok so if I let it do it's thing then reset even though it dosn't "appear" to finish do you think that the program would work or have any problems? By the way great work on that program. It is just what the doc ordered. I put all my cabs in the Extrom then flash a new WM6 rom and everything is exactly like I need it.

Is there a place for a donation? never mind I just saw your link "a few ways to help out"

Thanks for the donation

I'm not familiar with DevState, so I'm not sure what it's setup.dll does exactly. Some copy files, set languages, or add registry keys that are necessary for the program to run properly, but then again some are useless as the program itself will sometimes do those things on first run. It all depends on what the setup.dll does and if the program can make up for it not being run.
