install the INF for a device that you don't have!

Sometimes you want to install the INF for a device that you don't have! For various reasons, of which one could be that you want to unattendedly install driver for hardware that you'll add later (maybe later when you add the device, you won't have the driver files nearby).

Here's a snippet of the command to do it:

rundll32 "syssetup,SetupInfObjectInstallAction DefaultInstall 128
 > %SystemDrive%\la2124\oem1.inf"


for device drivers forced INF install

BTW, bashrat's driver-packs seem to be becoming very popular. Here's a snippet taken from the mailing-lists of http://unattended.sourceforge.net

List-Archive: <http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?forum=unattended-info>

On msfn.org's unattended windows setup one of the members has made a driver

patch for the windows cd.  I've tried this in combo with unattended and it

solves the anoying sata driver situation for people who don't have the time

when they are dealing with 10 or so controllers.

heres the link:-

some of the links are broken sometimes so u can find them on the msfn.org boards

in the driver section.

Personally I integrated this on all 3 of the versions of xp we use and it has

worked fantastic using method one.

As a note, I never manually added the drivers into the site file, i just let it

pick from the automatic driver section in unattneded.
