MISC | Installing drivers silently AFTER Windows has installed.

[Sonic]

Hi all !

After some thinking & testing, finally the best solution for me, it will be a silent installation of drivers after windows setup ...

Is it possible ? I have tested (not complety yet) the DriversFromCD but in fact it just for unknow devices ... and a popup for confirm install the driver comes too ... If for example, I want to update SiS IDE driver doesn't work (I think) ..

So if you can help/explain more, come one

ps: Actually I AutoIt setup of drivers or silent install ... but the PnP mecanism of windows is great to autodetect the correct driver in a big folder with many INF files ....

Thanks in advance. Goodbye.
