midiboy Posted February 15, 2008 Share Posted February 15, 2008 Hi guys,has anyone already tried the $WinPeDriver$ folder in Vista SP1 ? From reading the setupact.log file WinPE checks the contents in a folder named $WinPeDriver$ on any accessible drive. I haven´t had a chance to test this on a real machine, just vmware so I can´t say if it really works or not. Has anyone tried it yet ?Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midiboy Posted February 16, 2008 Author Share Posted February 16, 2008 Well,i have done some tests with this folder. It does work but there are exceptions. First, if the Intel chipset inf files are in there (tried at least a few 8.x versions) Windows PE will stop the setup with a driver installation error. So you cannot add those drivers.Second: if the Intel Matrix Storage driver is added to that folder (isastor.sys), Windows will use that driver even inside a vmware virtual machine and after reboot you will receive an error message saying that the driver (iastore.sys) cannot be loaded.The vmware network drivers are picked up fine, I can´t say much more because I am still testing inside a virtual machine.
