Network Card not installing!

[PatrikSWEDEN]

I have a problem!

I install Windows using WinPE network based install.

I have integrated NIC drivers for Intel NIC in Windows PE, and all is working well, WinPe can access the server in the first stage and install the configset. Bu it doesnt install the NIC driver in the final installation. hence Windows can not connect to the server and install the "runOnce" components

Ive tried putting the drivers in the OEM\$$ catalouge and in Unattended.txt added "OEmPnPDriversPath = \PnP\Net" where PnP\Net is the subfolders in OEM\$$

And it copies the files to C:\Windows\PnP\Net but it doesnt install them.

I really need help with this since its really annoying having to install Windows and after that manually installing other drivers and such.

Would Appreciat help very much!

Is OEMPreInstall=Yes set in your WINNT.SIF?

Since Im doing nework based installation I don't use a Winnt.sif file, instead I use the unattended.txt file, and Yes OemPreInstall is set to yes there.

Ah, I think I see the problem. Try moving the PNP\NET folder to the $1 folder. The plug n play drivers path does not know where to look for the files when they are buried in the systemroot folder.
