Afterdawn Posted January 17, 2005 Share Posted January 17, 2005 According to the Deployment Guide of XP SP2 you don't need to specify each subfolder in the drivers path:For example, if you have a folder called \Drivers with subfolders called \Audio and \Net, specify OemPnPDriversPath = drivers\audio;drivers\net in the Unattend.txt file. Setup adds:- %SYSTEMDRIVE% to each of the folder names - the path for each subfolder to the Plug and Play device search path.Why does the unattended guide states that setup DOESN'T scan for INF's in subfolders?

Incroyable HULK Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 From what I read, it doesn't sound like that.you have a folder called \Drivers with subfolders called \Audio and \Net, specify OemPnPDriversPath = drivers\audio;drivers\netThis will result in:%SYSTEMDRIVE%\drivers\audio%SYSTEMDRIVE%\drivers\netYou have to specify:the path for each subfolder to the Plug and Play device search path.No?

Afterdawn Posted January 18, 2005 Author Share Posted January 18, 2005 Just look at my quote (or the actual deployment guide), it really says:Setup adds:...%SystemDrive% blablabla... and the path for each subfolder that Plug and Play needs.....

Incroyable HULK Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 Hum... it's worth a try. Have you checked if the same stuff apply for Windows XP SP1? I doubt everybody would have missed that for over 2 years... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afterdawn Posted January 18, 2005 Author Share Posted January 18, 2005 Okay can I test this with VMWare? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acheron Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 It works for my system. Meaby a tip for Bashrat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afterdawn Posted January 18, 2005 Author Share Posted January 18, 2005 So you're saying that specifying OemPnPDriversPath=Drivers should be enough? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incroyable HULK Posted January 18, 2005 Share Posted January 18, 2005 I think he is implying that for each Driver set, you don't need to specify the SubFolder if there is...If you want to test from VMware, just grab the drivers from my previous post:http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=36724and don't specify the SubFolders...

Acheron Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 Everybody look here, so it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larciel Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 if this works it'd be great matching to the driver compressor tool!soOemPnPDriversPath=Drivers\Net;Drivers\Printer;Drivers\Display;something like that would be good enough? (and not mention all sub directories under those parent directories?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Afterdawn Posted January 20, 2005 Author Share Posted January 20, 2005 @hp38guser:I'm sorry it really doens't work! Obviously you don't have to include the subfolder if they are mentioned in the INF's, but that's not the question here... I didn't intent to modify inf files!@larcielAs I said it didn't work for me! You need specify each folder in you OemPnpDriverPath which contains an INF-file! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larciel Posted January 20, 2005 Share Posted January 20, 2005 yeah it seems like it won't work because after reading the MS quote carefully, i came to same conclusion as the first replier did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need specify each folder in you OemPnpDriverPath which contains an INF-file!Indeed!In the specific VIA Hyperion case, all OemPnpDriverPaths are specified in the inf file, which is placed in that one folder...Another note: why would he be pointing to Chipset\VIA anyway, if you wouldn't have to specify any subfolder?
