Windows XP Unattended - Drivers

[edg21]

Is this directory structure correct & is the winnt.sif syntax correct?

I have the winnt.sif pointing to where the .inf files for the drivers are located...

$OEM$

$1\drivers\

$1\drivers\ATI\DISPLAY <- Catalyst Drivers

$1\drivers\ATI\WDM <- WDM Capture Drivers

$1\drivers\NVIDIA\DISPLAY <- Detonator Drivers

WINNT.SIF

Yes, looks about right.

Note that Microsoft themselves don't use quotation marks in their help file example:

OemPnPDriversPath = MyFolder1; MyFolder2

[webmedic]

yes that will let windows use your drivers during the graphical mode for install and after you have installed the os. It will not give you extra needed drivers during textmode if you need raid drivers and such.

k, thanks guys Also... I'm curious as to wether or not this would work, considering atiddc.dll is one of the ATI catalyst drivers & is not present on a system with an nvidia card, would I be able to add this to my apps.cmd that runs after 1st login?

if exist %systemdrive%\windows\system32\atiddc.dll goto atiyes
if not exist %systemdrive%\windows\system32\atiddc.dll goto atino

:ATIYES
ECHO.
ECHO Installing ATI Control Panel...
start /wait %systemdrive%\install\aticp36\Setup.exe -s -f1"%systemdrive%\install\aticp\setup.iss"
goto hotfix

:ATINO
goto hotfix
