Devicepath in hivesft.inf in Windows XP SP2 fails?

[valentino]

Hi there,

I used to have an unattended install cd for Windows XP with SP1 integrated into it.

The device drivers were installed by using the devicepath extension in HIVESFT.INF. This works fine for SP1. But when I integrate SP2 into the cd,

then the devices are not detected anymore. Seems to me the devicepath

in HIVESFT.INF is no longer used during setup?

Anyone has the same problem or a solution? The reason I use HIVESFT.INF is because then i don't have the 256 character limit on the devicepath.

Thanks,

Valentino

where did you get a 256 character limit?

Windows XP SP2's WINNT.SIF file had a limit of....over 1000 or something....
