Command Prompt in Vista

Action · 29th October 2007, 23:51

Hi,
I have a gaming site that users have to install our software to play online multi-player games. We recently have come across an issue with Vista's TCP Auto-Tuning lagging our players. So I would like to be able to disable this during the installation of our software.

The following is what i need to do....

I think I got step 1 handled its step 2 im having troubles with.

Step 1. The first thing that needs to be done is to disable User Access Control which can be done editing the registry...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System
Locate the following DWORD value, "EnableLUA" and assign it a value of 0.
Reboot for this change to take effect.

Step 2. Then after the comp reboots i need the installer to restart if possible and some how
Open a "Command Prompt" with the "Run as Administrator" option.
Enter the command, "netsh interface tcp set global autotuning=disabled" to disable TCP Auto-Tuning.

Can this all be done from within the installer setup?

1. To reset group policies without restarting execute gpupdate /force.

2. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/285879
Another method is to call runas.exe with VBScript with WScript.Shell and to type in the password with the SendKeys method before sending vbNewLine.
You will need the administrator password.
