Tripredacus Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 You can either have your unattend execute the installer packages silently after install, or you can recreate your source and use DISM to inject the drivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxXPsoft Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) You can copy all .inf based drivers say to sub folders on your dvd sourcesDVD\sources\$OEM$\$1\Drivers create folders in redThen add the path in your xml. Look at <Driverpaths>http://www.msfn.org/board/your-seven-here-t139572-pid-892782.html/page__view__findpost__p__892782 Edited April 2, 2010 by maxXPsoft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnhc Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 ner, I am in the process of leaning what I can about W7 and came across this link to the WAIK Guide (about 2.5 MB). I think it is also contained in the WAIK DL. It contains three .chm files including unattend.chm. There is a good explanation of the xml used in the install process. This link has been posted here before, but is very hard to find. Using the unattend.chm and searching on driver or driverpath are good places to start. Hope it is useful to you and others. Enjoy, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
