[Add "Run command" to unattend.xml using WSIM]

I had this same type of issues for my DVD base installs and the way I worked around it was to copy the files to a temp folder. Once the files were copied to the from the $OEM$ folder I install the applications from there and then deleted the folder.

[unattended Driver paths]

Something like the OemPNPDriversPath that has been in the unattended.txt since NT4.

I haven't had to research this yet ahay. No Win7/Vista deployments yet on my end. I'm still, to this day, doing only 2003/XP - it's what the clients want, and I cant blame them.

exactly.... I am looking for "OemPNPDriversPath" version for windows 7. I am not happy to be moving towards windows 7 either but I am told I have to be ahead of the game on this one.

[unattended Driver paths]

I am trying to get Windows 7 to search the "drivers" folder that I have placed in the $OEM$ folder that gets copied to "c:\drivers" during the deployment. All the drivers get copied to the HD but I can't figure out have to tell the unattended file to search "c:\drivers\T400\modem & c:\drivers\t400\chip". Anyone else tried doing this before?

[Windows 7 unattend App installs]

I am looking to find some people that have installed apps over the network using SIM and an unattend file. If anyone can give me some hints that would be great!

[Unattend network location]

I have heard that there is issues with setting the network location in a the unattend with SIM. Has any one found a work around or got this to work?
