que3jxp Posted July 16, 2004 Share Posted July 16, 2004 This is the first time that I have tried to include additional drivers in my unattended install and the first test of it failed.I double checked everyting in the guide here and nada.Here is what I have right now:Unattended section of answer file:[Unattended] UnattendMode=FullUnattended UnattendSwitch=yes OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=No TargetPath=\WINDOWS Hibernation=1 DriverSigningPolicy=ignore WaitForReboot=no OemPnPDriversPath=\drivers\000_mobo;\drivers\001_network;\drivers\002_audio;\drivers\003_videoDo I NEED quotes around the OemPnPDriversPath= variable?Here is the dir structure:$oem$ $1 Drivers 000_Mobo 001_network 002_Audio 003_VideoThanks in advance!Jason.

que3jxp Posted July 16, 2004 Author Share Posted July 16, 2004 I am assuming that is a yes to the quotation marks...Also, I am at work right now looking at the corporately built W2K unattended install and the thing that catches my eye with it is that they put the $oem$ folder structure in the i386 folder.What would be the benefit to this? And how would one reference the directory structure from the answer file?ORIs this just something that is unique to W2K?Anyhow, on a side note, the unattended install build by my higher-ups is SWEET!!!! Been using it for a few years. It even spans across 3 disks. I wish that I could share the secrets of it but most of the automation is actually achieved wiht custom written .exe's. Even the answer file is generated anew each time the process is started. It is made by an interactive EXE that asks for certain pieces of information.Thanks,Jason.

que3jxp Posted July 17, 2004 Author Share Posted July 17, 2004 Well I tried it and a few other things and I think that my problem has more to do with the fact that I am trying to get Nforce2 drivers to work.I have read a ton of threads on the subject, tried some of the suggestions, but so far, no go.What is the absolute most fool proof way to get the NForce2 drivers integrated into an unattended install?Thanks,Jason.

que3jxp Posted July 20, 2004 Author Share Posted July 20, 2004 I was hoping that I could get it integrated at the earliest point in the install.Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustinwmew Posted July 21, 2004 Share Posted July 21, 2004 MT39 can do do things at a really earliest point (t-39), but it maynot be able to install. You can look at it here:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=21521 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
