Hey all,

I created an unattended CD pacthwork-like by using Nlite for SP2 and hotfix integration.

To install drivers however I followed the unattended.org .SIF method.

Here are my files:

In my $OEM$\$1\Drivers:

I have 000_chipset, 001_network, 002_graphics, 003_sound.

**Problem? I didn't put setdevicepath and watchdriversigningpolicy in this folder as it says to do when installing drivers via CD because I did the .SIF way.**

Let it be noted that the drivers ARE on the local machine after I use the CD I created they are just not being installed.

My .SIF file:

;SetupMgrTag

[Data]

MsDosInitiated="0"

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

I hate to ask this but do you have the correct drivers for the PC?

LOL - yes.

I am still learning much about Unattended installs but I do have the correct drivers.

Like I said they do go to the appropriate folder on the local drive after the CD finished installing, they just do not install.

** Maybe it's because I did not make a direct path to driver and just pointed to the folder instead? **

** I have a big hunch that is what it is. I will burn and try it again. I figured it was something dumb **

So instead of OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\000_Chipset;Drivers\001_Network;Drivers\002_graphics;Drivers\003_Sound"

it should be OemPnPDriversPath="Drivers\000_Chipset\xp;Drivers\001_Network\WinXP;Drivers\002_graphics\Win2000;Drivers\003_Sound\SMAXWDM\W2K_XP"
