Hmm i believe in this case your are actually installing the drivers offline into the image. That's not what i want to do. I want to have 1 image that i can use on different pc's with different kind of hardware. I am going to use it for my work, i am a reseller and we have our own PC line. So each PC has different hardware. So i want to add a lot of drivers to vista. When Vista doesn't have the appropriate driver it must search for it in that c:\drivers directory. I have read somewhere you only have to put in all the *.inf drivers. but can i work with subdirs? It's confusing!

I am not sure if it is that simple. perhaps you still should expand the MSU packages so that the .CAB will be in the upgrade folder !? I just finished an unattend vista installation with all patches slipstreamed in it. It's a bit more work but it seems to work (doing final installation as we speak) Take a look at this thread http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...st&p=627029

Ok thank you very much! That's a good guide, i will going to try this recipe !

Hi, I am new to making unattend setups and i did RTFM But i am a bit confused. Here is my problem. We (my company) makes pc's and we have a few different chipsets on which we install Vista. I would like to make one Unattend Vista DVD which has all drivers inside of it. So not only vga drivers but also chipset drivers (Intel D965 chipset, VGA, LAN, Audio etc) During installation the setup must reconize the chipset and must install the correct driver for it's hardware device. I read about creating a distribution share which itself will contain $oem$ folder , out of the box drivers and packages. With XP we used to work a lot of $oem$ folder and a lot of scripts. But i read in the manual this way it not really 100% supported anymore (at least it's not Bill's favorite choice to do it..) So should i make a folder in out of the box drivers and place the *.inf files in there? and then? I mean, every PC will have different hardware so the choices of the right driver must be made by Vista. I cannot simply insert each driver path to pass 1 Windows PE or auditsystem... Can anybody tell me which is the best way to approch this problem /how to handle this situation? Where should i start?
