Dell E6420 WLAN driver issue

[Evlija]

Hi

When Dell E6420 Windows XP installation goes through the "Task Sequence" and it works great if it occurs over the network. Now I have created a bootable media and try to install the OS, applications offline, I get an error message. It says that the WLAN driver could not be installed because the driver is not WHQL Signed.

How to remove WHQL in TS? I created a .Reg file with:

-----------------------------------------------------

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE \ Microsoft \ Driver Signing]

"Policy" = dword: 00000000

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Then I created a program that runs this file in silent mode. But even this did not work.

I am going to guess you are using MDT or SCCM for this?

Yes, i am using SCCM.

Well a few things first... I'm going to guess you didn't ask this on Dell Tech since XP is not supported on this notebook. But anyways, there are some other questions to be had.

First, this isn't a WinPE topic so its moving to XP unattend forum...

1. Dell's site shows there are a multitude of different WLAN cards for this notebook but you haven't told us which one is in the ones you are using. If it is the Intel Centrino, you could try using the driver from Intel rather than from Dell.

2. Have you modified this driver in any way?

3. Have you tried adding the driver into the driver portion of the TS and not elect to install the program?
