I have downloaded soundmax motherboard drivers. How do i intergrate this into Nlite?

use winrar or 7zip to extract the zip or exe file that you have (if it supports it)

extract to say C:\drivers

copy your xpdisc to say C:\xpcd

load nlite, point it at c:\xpcd, integrate SP2 if you don't have it on there already (google "xp sp2 redist" for the full installer)

select driver integration, point it at the c:\drivers folder

then use the iso page to burn a new disc

I've tried integrating SoundMAX driver too, but with no luck. Just doesn't work.

After you extracted the driver, find folder SMAXWDM\W2K_XP, thats only the drivers.

I've tried doing it that way. It just doesn't integrate. I've tried installing and then backing up the drivers and still nothing. Only the installer after loading windows seems to work.

If you have HD Audio you need hotfix KB888111

I got mine of metaftp

Thanks, I'll give that a try and see what happens.

I found it at the hydrogenaudio forums btw.

Hey hulkviper, created another unattended install using that hotfix and audio drivers are now integrated and working. Thanks a lot!!!

soundmax recommends that you use the setup program so that their control panel is installed... this allows you to set otherwise inaccessible options.

their setup.exe has a silent install switch (setup.exe -s)...

my question, however, is can this be integrated somehow as a software install? where do you normally put installer programs that have a silent option? can they go in with the hotfixes/updates, or does it have to go in guirunonce (i'd rather it not go there)?
