multiple motherboard drivers/inf in win98se

[chankya]

Dear all

How can install multiple peripheral dirvers so that whenever we make a system we should not install drivers in windows98se

like when we install win98se in via board we have to install via drivers like same for intel chipset board

how can we make a cd of win98se for multiple drivers of motherboard and peripherals

can anyboady suggest any link/site/software

win98se doesn't support unattended setup ...

best bet is to store all the relevant drivers into the CD itself

but, this mean that the CD will always get obsolete with new drivers are out ...

there is a program on th Win98 CD called INFINST.EXE i believe. Run that program and search the Microsoft TechNet site for instructions. I memory servers, you should just have to select the INF files for the drivers, and your Win98 folder (copy it off CD first) and it should be all you need.

not true. It just uses a different method. To create an unattended install in Windows 98, it uses MSBATCH.INF and INFINST.EXE to add drivers. Using both, you can do almost exectly the same with Win98 as with WinXP.

Also, to topic starter, don't double post

Dear Alanoll

but there is limitations as per microsoft

Design Limitations:

1. Adding an inf with the same name as one included with Windows 98 or one previously

added will eliminate all functionality of the previous inf, regardless of PnP IDs.

2. You must have write permission to the location of the Windows 98 setup files for

Infinst.Exe to work. (I.E. it will not work on a CD-ROM).

3. Adding an inf containing the same PnP IDs as an inf already included in the setup

share will result in eliminating those PnP IDs from the already included inf.

so what to do with that

[Alanoll]

1. will rarely happen, especially with newer hardware.

2. That's why i said to copy it to harddrive

3. If one INF contains the same PnP IDs, then it's the same hardware, just use the latest version.

ooooh man....

now you're getting complicated

to be quite honest, I have almost completely forgot

Search the Microsoft site. From what I remember, you have to tell it to copy over a file then run it via RunOnceEX (it's the say keys as in XP) but must be formated in INF syntax. The simple thing would be to have a batch file that is copied over, then when executed finds the Cd (using the FOR or IF EXIST lines from all over this site) then calls the applications just like you would if you were doing an XP install.

THANKS I AM SEARCHING FOR THAT PL'S DON'T SAY THAT I FORGOT
