robo5050 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 (edited) Hello forum members, I have tried twice -unsuccessfully-to install windows xp home slipstreamed with sp 3;I keep getting the following error:Line 22 of WINNT.SIF is invalid!!I have checked to see what is on that line,and found out it is my OemPNPDriversPath entry;it looks like the following:OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\000_Ichip;Drivers\001_Rlan;Drivers\002_RHDa"!!I do not see why I am getting the WINNT.SIF invalid line error,but would like to know if any forum members have had the same problem with this particular setup error??Thanks in advance for a reply!btw,the OS I Slipstreamed with SP 3 is Windows XP Home basic!!

krose Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Do you also have the lineOemFilesPath="..\$OEM$"in your winnt.sif? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robo5050 Posted December 20, 2008 Author Share Posted December 20, 2008 I found what the problem was;accidentally left off the end-quote from the $OEM$ drivers file path!!I think,however,I will stick with installing the MB drivers after copying them over to hard drive via the $Progssub-folder!!

robo5050 Posted December 20, 2008 Author Share Posted December 20, 2008 (edited) No,I don't have the "...$OEM$\ folder as part of the OemPnPDriversPath argument,nor do I have the code line that you mentioned in your reply;is the line necessary for Windows to install my motherboard drivers??

Martin H Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 (edited) No, don't worry Btw, i know that it says so in the MSFN 'Unattended Windows' guide and a bunch of other places on the net, but adding numbers infront of the folder-names will not affect the install order of the drivers, but of course it doesn't hurt anything either...Edit: If anyone should be questioning this, then please study closely the MSDN docs for OEM driver installs, and also check your own '%windir%\setupapi.log' file for seeing for yourself the un-chronological install order... Also MS's own docs for how to install OEM drivers, dosen't mention anything about numbers either and just uses normal un-numbered foldernames in their examples...
