ricktendo Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 (edited) Install the drivers like you normally would, then go to the following folder, sort by date and retrieve the drivers for slipstreaming%WinDir%\System32\DriverStore\FileRepositoryThis way you can be assured that no files will be missing and integration will not fail (BTW you can delete the .PNF file) Edited March 24, 2011 by ricktendo64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netwave Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 @Ricktendo64Thanks very much for your quick reply & the solution it works 100% I wonder why 3rd party apps sometimes fail at getting all the correct driver data for slipstreaming?

ricktendo Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) Its very hard, they have to look under the SourceDisksFiles section and find/copy the files listed there to be backed up...plus there different driver inf's have different format styles. I have also seen times where there are two SourceDisksFiles sections and other times where the files are not listed in SourceDisksFiles but are instead copied by the CoInstallerWho better than Windows itself to know exactly what files to copy, and even better that Windows Vista/7 conveniently back up the driver to the DriverStore so we can just grab it for the future with none of the setup junk Edited March 25, 2011 by ricktendo64 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
