JDS300 Posted December 20, 2005 Posted December 20, 2005 I've been working the last few weeks on setting up images at the office, and have been trying to get 1 image to work across all of our hardware platforms. I can get the image to install and run so far on 2 different models, but I'm running into problems with getting all of the correct drivers installed. We're using MPC units(in case anyone else out there is), and I've tried using the drivers off of the driver disk that ships with the machines, and downloading new drivers off MPC's website. The problem is some of the components don't have INF files, and require a setup.exe to be run to install the drivers. Here is a link to one of our configs, just incase anybody has a work around for the provided hardware.What I was thinking to get around this, was to come up with some sort of script that runs right after the mini-setup, prompting for which model of PC you are installing. MPC's driver disk contains a neat little ini file that has everything that is needed to install all of the drivers. I was hoping there might be someway to prompt for which model, then run the correct ini file, which would install all of the correct drivers, then reboot. Here is a copy of the INI file[5.1];***Windows XP***TopText=All drivers and most programs are pre-installed on your computer when it leaves the MPC factory. You do not need to re-install them unless you re-load your operating system or are experiencing technical difficulties. You must exit all other programs before installing these drivers.
