Windows 7 DISM & driver packages

[Dechy]

I've read many a blog, forums, even listened to the official MS video on the tool... getting any driver to integrate in the offline image doesn't work at all, keep getting errors on any INF I try.

Basically I mount the image, nothing hard there, then I expand/extract drivers from the downloaded packages from say ATI and then use the /add-driver /driver:(driver location).

It parses the folder, finds the INF files but then gives errors. Going through the DISM.LOG all I get is that error 0x8007001E is causing the problem and obviously searching on that error doesn't help as there basically zero information about this tool anywhere...

I'm just starting to work on W7 for work, and DISM seems extremely promising, love the idea of packaging the INSANE mess of drivers we have (over 1.5GB) and the supposedly ease of integrating / removing then from an offline mounted image.

Anyways, any help appreciated.

Thanks.

Actually, was just able to integrate NIC drivers fine now, but ATI drivers, even the new 9.3 catalyst (downloaded just the driver portion for now) give errors...

Ok, I got other small drivers working as well, but if it has something to do with video, it definitely doesn't work, seems like it's because they're compressed and DISM can't decompress them??

All other drivers were flat out all decompressed (no .dl_ or whatever) and seemed to work. Better get fixed on either MS's side or the driver providers, or keeping tabs on drivers will be more cumbersome that it was before... rather it be ALL old school driver paths or all "new age" packages through DISM than both at the same time...

IIRC, ATI drivers require .Net Framework 2.0 to be installed.

[fizban2]

Dechy, which ATI driver packages are you trying to intergrate?

[razormoon]

Same here with NVidia drivers.

I've tried both 181.71 (Win7) and 182.08 (Vista) with no luck. The Win7 drivers are terrible under Win7. Oddly enough, the Vista version works fantastic!

I've also tried SoundMAX drivers with poor results. Seems at least the NVidia drivers get parsed at least...

About the only thing that worked for me is an IR device driver (for my PVR program).

NVIDIA 181.20_geforce_winvista_32bit_english_whql works fine with Seven here

[razormoon]

Could it be my version of 7? I'm vivisecting 7068 currently and trying to keep as up to date with the 7s as possible.

If you can MaxXP, what directories are your drivers in and what was the command line? I'd hate to think I foibled something...

I notice you have a pnp directory..I'm just pointing DISM to an x:\drivers\nVidia folder. <shrug>

I mount with DISM:

DISM /MOUNT-WIM /WIMFILE:D:\UA7\SOURCES\INSTALL.WIM /INDEX:1 /MOUNTDIR:D:\TEMP

Add drivers:

DISM /IMAGE:D:\TEMP /ADD-DRIVER /DRIVER:D:\DRIVERS\NVIDIA

Unmount:

DISM /UNMOUNT-WIM /MOUNTDIR:D:\TEMP /COMMIT

Quite simple, no?

Be aware that this works for my IR drivers...

you posted the muiz link but i am using the recurse switch. still trying to get all my updates to install so still messin with it.

[razormoon]

What recurse are you referring to? I'm trying to point to different directories, even parent. I'm not sure what DISM is looking for. I'd like to know what was your command that made it recursive as I can not figure it out for DISM.

As for parent, I thought an heirarchy of x:\Drivers\display x:\drivers\sound and x:\drivers\printers and point DISM to x:\drivers would work. I don't think so.

EDIT: FYI - I just learned that there is a /forceunsigned switch to add driver (not tested)

DISM /IMAGE:D:\TEMP /ADD-DRIVER /DRIVER:D:\DRIVERS\NVIDIA /FORCEUNSIGNED

ALSO - figured out /recurse don't know how to use it yet

I can assure you that nvd3dum.dll is definitely there!

[razormoon]

Lord knows I love my M$, but I feel a hernia coming on thinking of Vista.

I've been doing all of this from within W7 which could be my problem.

[Dechy]

Dechy, which ATI driver packages are you trying to intergrate?

Sorry, was gone on vacation, holy needed that

So, using the 9-3_vista32_win7_32_dd.exe for ATI (not touching CCC just yet), 181.71 for nVidia.

Like I've mentionned, using dism /image:c:\dism /add-driver /driver:c:\drivers\video\ati /recurse for any drivers and ATI + nVidia won't comply... Realtek sound, Broadcom NIC drivers worked fine.

Exact command line & result:

C:\Windows\system32>dism /image:c:\dism /add-driver /driver:c:\drivers\video\ati /recurse

Why in gods name it's looking for that folder on D is beyond me... that's my CD drive and the only thing it's ever seen if the install DVD (which I left in).

Really at a loss for this

And this is using plain jane build 7000 downloaded from MSDN with only Windows Updates updates installed.

[darren1981]

Great info thanks, was not aware Unattended installs were possible under Windows 7.

Cheers

[Dechy]

Interesting thing to note, I gave MDT 2010 a try, and it "slipstreams" the video drivers fine with no errors... I might just start using that to do all my integration now instead of command line DISM.
