INF Drivers won't install

r3loaded
in Unattended Windows Vista/Server 2008

Featured Replies

I have a bunch of drivers in INF format (along with catalogues and actual driver binaries) that are stored in a WIM data image. These are extracted to %SystemDrive%\Drivers\INF along with other installer-based drivers that I install during auditUser. I've tried adding driver paths to these INF drivers in both offlineServicing and auditSystem passes, but for some reason Windows does not load them into its driver store.

In the following example script, the unattend file uses a config set with the drivers.wim image stored on a usb drive along with the unattend file. The image is extracted to the root of the installation drive, and the driver path is passed to Windows at auditSystem:
