Hi. I'm new here and been browsing the internet for the last few hours to try and find out more information about sysprep as i'm currently working on a project that automates software and driver installation.

I do not want to use sysprep to automate everything. Just wondering if its possible to use sysprep on a computer that has already been formatted just for the purpose of installing drivers.

I have read that you need to create a folder in C:\Windows\Drivers or something like that and put this location in the DevicePath(Registry). Then I presume that upon next boot up the drivers will automatically install?.

Its hard to explain my exact problem. But basically I have creating some software that users can run and it installs all the software, once this is complete it will install the drivers. Therefore it would be nice if i could use something like sysprep to install the drivers. In my project I can easily set it up to copy all the driver files from the disk to the directory and import the registry file and then reboot and autologon.

There is probably 3 different types of drivers for graphics and 3 for sound. So if I could use sysprep then it would make life easy in the sense that the drivers will be found in the specified dir and installed.

The only problem I have is using sysprep as i've never used it before. Any shed some light on this for me, in need of help. Many thanks

Putting it simply. I want to install drivers on a PC that already has an OS. From research I have a feeling that sysprep is the way forward?

Sysprep could solve your issue but it is really intended for preparing a system for imaging to other systems.
