Vista Nvidia Drivers not loading

Daedlus
in Unattended Windows Vista/Server 2008

Featured Replies

Please help, this is the first set of drivers that I cannot get to load and I cannot figure out why.

I am trying to install my video card drivers (Nvidia 9600 GT OC) unattended.

I downloaded the drivers off the windows update catalog.

I have inserted them via Vlite and have them to install in my autounattended.xml

Device Manager just says its a "Standard VGA Graphics Adapter"

I can load the drivers manually in windows fine.

Here is my Autounattend.xml:
