Using WPI separately from the hard disk


Recommended Posts

My unattended Windows XP SP3 installation will become more than 700MB (hence wont fit on a CD ROM, my drive doesn't read DVDs properly), so I'm thinking, is it possible to run the WPI script separately from the hard disk/pen drive? How?

Also, another question. How/ from where can I download and integrate all the windows updates after SP3 into my unattended XP installation?

Thanks.

Yes you can run the installers on a different drive, instead of "%wpipath%\Install\Name.Ext" /Switch use "D:\Install\Name.Ext" /Switch

You have to add WPI to your CD same as always, just leave the programs/installers on a folder on your second disk and tell WPI to launch them (I used to do this with Office)

Yeah, I'll do that. One last question. Is it possible to put the latest Nvidia drivers *with* the Nvidia control panel etc. in my XP CD? Backing up the display drivers is pretty easy, but I'd like to set it up such that the whole Nvidia control panel installs alongside.
