Software Deployment

sure is.

you can achieve it in a number of ways, have a look at the following tools

dpinst.exe and difxapp.exe one of them should be able to help. Ideally wrap the driver in an MSI so many ways to achieve this result.

John,

I'm not sure that Driver Install Frameworks Tools will help as it mostly used for PnP devices which I don't think nvidia card is.
A MSI wrapper sounds like a better idea.

I just installed a new NVidia card and I can confirm that the install is not MSI-driven so, if you need an MSI, the best option is to wrap the NVidia install in your MSI and run it silently. IIRC, the command line is:

SETUP -h"x" -v"y" -b"c" -j"f" -k -s

where:

-h"x" Resolution (horizontal)

-v"y" Resolution (vertical)

-b"c" Color Depth (in bits per pixel)

-j"f" Refresh rate (in Hz)

-k Force a reboot after a silent installation - must precede -s
option in command for system to reboot.

-s Silent Installation - no installation messages displayed during
installation.

Remember that almost all video driver installs will require a reboot.

That's right, and sometimes video driver installs will require two reboot : one when uninstall previous driver, and one after installing the new
