DPinst Help Requested

[gotenks98]

I am going to try to use this tool to make a drivers only usb key for some of my non-network installs. Here is the issue. I downloaded the WDK thing but the documentation is very poor for this. They do not tell you exactly how to do this. I thought the documentation on the WAIK was bad but this is just horrible. The little bit I could figure out was from other websites similar to msfn. The basics in which I got is I put dpinst.exe in the root folder and have sub directories which it will check for drivers and such. What I want to do is have a bit of control with it. With no xml file it just installs whats in the same directory as the installer and no sub directories. How am I going to create the xml file to configure the options? Its not like with the wsim where it writes it for you. I am horrible at coding so trying to do something like this by hand will take years to do and debug. Can this be configured to give the user the option to pick only which driver category you want installed at a time. Like say audio only this time but on the next machine I want network and the next all drivers? Lastly if I am just missing something on this let me know because I am totally lost on how this thing is configured.
