$oem$ driver integration

**Nepali** · July 2, 2008

i have more then 300 MB drivers that should be integrated into my XP CD

when compressed it is just 90 MB

to save space, i compressed it with winrar and make self extracting EXE (driver.exe) which decompress it to %systemroot%\drivers\ at T-13

and mentioned the path in my winnt.sif as

OemPnPDriversPath="drivers\101_lan;X\vm;drivers\845v"

My pc isn't accepting any drivers in this manner

but when i put the same drivers under my CD under

$OEM$\$1\Drivers

it will work

is it too late to place those drivers under %systemroot%\drivers\ at T-13

is there any alternative for this

or detachprogram will help me ?

The drivers installs at T-39, so extracting them at T-13 will not work...

Yes, 'DetachedProgram' in WINNT.SIF is the way to go...

IMHO, then the following link shows the best method for installing either compressed drivers, or uncompressed directly from CD...
