THXTEX Posted September 3, 2005 Share Posted September 3, 2005 (edited) HiI'm quite new at this and have trouble getting some drivers installed.I want to be able to use a nonmodified Windows CD, a floppy with winnt.sif and some drivers.I have a driver package (WinRAR) which are uncompressed during setup to C:\drivers\. The files are extracted without any problems. But they are not installed.This is my winnt.sif;SetupMgrTag[Data] AutomaticUpdates=yes AutoPartition=1 MsDosInitiated="0" UnattendedInstall="Yes"[Unattended] DUDisable = Yes UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes OemPreinstall=Yes OemPnPDriversPath="%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Drivers\Chipset;%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Drivers\Lan" NonDriverSigningPolicy = "Ignore" DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore TargetPath=\WINDOWS Repartition=No UnattendSwitch="yes" WaitForReboot="No" AutoActivate = No ProgramFilesDir="C:\Programmer" CommonProgramFilesDir="C:\Programmer\Common Files" Hibernation = No Filesystem = LeaveAlone[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword="***********" EncryptedAdminPassword=NO AutoLogon = Yes OEMSkipRegional=1 TimeZone=105 OemSkipWelcome=1 ProfilesDir="%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Documents and Settings\" DetachedProgram="a:\Drivers.exe"[UserData] ProductKey=*****-*****-*****-*****-***** FullName="***** *****" OrgName="********" ComputerName=Pentium4[Display] BitsPerPel = 24 Vrefresh = 75 Xresolution = 1024 Yresolution = 768[TapiLocation] CountryCode=45[Identification] JoinWorkgroup=Arbejdsgruppe[Components] AccessOpt = On .....

PhreeZ Posted September 7, 2005 Share Posted September 7, 2005 @THXTEX:try removing %SYSTEMDRIVE% from the OemPnPDriversPath entry. i believe it should look as follows:[Unattended] OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\Chipset;Drivers\Lan"are those drivers WHQL certified?

THXTEX Posted September 11, 2005 Author Share Posted September 11, 2005 (edited) are those drivers WHQL certified? <{POST_SNAPBACK}>I can install them afterwards without any warning, so they must be.I have tried yout other suggestion with removeing %SYSTEMDRIVE%, but it doesn't work.Is there a log I could look in to see if tries to install my drivers?

PhreeZ Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 @THXTEX:if your drivers come with a .CAT file they should be WHQL.check setupapi.log in your WINDOWS folder see if you can find the device or the .INF you are trying to install.

THXTEX Posted September 13, 2005 Author Share Posted September 13, 2005 I can see in the log, that it can not find any drivers that are compatible. I think that it does not look in C:/Drivers/XXX where my drivers are installed at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhreeZ Posted September 14, 2005 Share Posted September 14, 2005 perhaps your drivers are being extracted after GUI-mode setup detects and installs your devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THXTEX Posted September 18, 2005 Author Share Posted September 18, 2005 Still no succes in my case.I have tried a different approach now. I still extract my drivers using DetachedProgram and they are still a WinRAR sfx-archive. But in the SFX comment's I have added Pyron's SetDevicePath command.;The comment below contains SFX script commandsPath=%systemdrive%\OEMSavePathSilent=2Overwrite=1Setup=SetDevicePath.exe %SYSTEMDRIVE%\OEM\DriversIn setupapi.log I now see that setup looks in my driverfolder, but it comes with the following message.In danish....#I393 Cachen "C:\OEM\Drivers\Chipset\SP\INFCACHE.1" til INF-filer er ændret.#I393 Cachen "C:\OEM\Drivers\Chipset\INFCACHE.1" til INF-filer er ændret.#I393 Cachen "C:\OEM\Drivers\Lan\INFCACHE.1" til INF-filer er ændret.Transladet to english it is something like.....#I393 Cache "C:\OEM\Drivers\Chipset\SP\INFCACHE.1" for INF-files has changed.#I393 Cache "C:\OEM\Drivers\Chipset\INFCACHE.1" for INF-files has changed.#I393 Cache "C:\OEM\Drivers\Lan\INFCACHE.1" for INF-files has changed.The INFCACHE files are not a part of the archive.Any suggestions to what I could try now?TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
