Dobby Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 You are correct in your assumption. However, Vista is now pretty good at installing the correct drivers for your hardware so I recommend that unless you are seeing unknown devices in Device Manager that you let Vista install the default drivers. Of course if you using vLite to remove the default drivers you may have problems with drivers that rely on the default Vista components. These days the only drivers I tend to put into the special drivers folders are for hardware that is not recognised. Video drivers and sometimes chipset tend to be the only exception but certainly nVidia's ones need to be installed with the installer.Make sure also that the drivers you have there are signed. Non-signed or XP drivers don't tend to work very well.Can you post you Autounattend.xml and the exact folder structure of the drive (screenshot would do)
razormoon Posted October 21, 2007 Posted October 21, 2007 (edited) @KentkAfter you install Vista, did the intel inf ever give you the red unsigned driver box?I have found that drivers that do this NEVER get installed during UA.I learned the hard way with a beta nvidia driver. No fun. Edited October 21, 2007 by razormoon
kentk Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 (edited) Razormoon: I think I dont come by the first PE pass when I add the drivers the install.exe doesnt seem to be started !?When I boot the ISO, in the first PE pass I get a cmd window which say driversroot = d:Shortly after I get a error window:It is not possible to install one or more drivers which is necessary for systemstart, check that the drivers are correct and restart installation, Press OK...Pressed Shift-F10 and looked in the log files, but I did not see any particularly Dobby, I will post this tonight when I am home from work..Ps. I have made a copy of the ISO BEFORE I altered the settings as of the Firegeier guide to install drivers from media or usb stick and that ISO is working so there is something wrong with this step..

Dobby Posted October 22, 2007 Posted October 22, 2007 I can only assume there is a problem with one of the drivers. Since I have successfully integrated the ACPI drivers I recommend you remove all others and test the installation again. Then add them back in one by one until you find the one causing the problem.
kentk Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 So you dont see any problems with my xml and dir structure ?
davidzhzo Posted November 6, 2007 Posted November 6, 2007 great job.well, a bit long, but all-aroundthanks
SKiNNiEH Posted January 25, 2008 Posted January 25, 2008 So eeehh... your site is inaccessible for a few days at least now. When will it go back online?
morgancroft Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) Does anything in this guide change now that SP1 has been released for Vista... I know that there is the new version of WAIK. I have downloaded the Vista DVD with SP1 integrated from Microsoft, so is it just the same process for recreating the unattended install? Thanks in advance. Edited February 21, 2008 by morgancroft
music5_5 Posted February 21, 2008 Posted February 21, 2008 (edited) Hi All,Can you please take a look at my autounattended.xml and let me that why it would not ask me to enter a computername? I have tried to write an empty string for computername (also tried leaving it empty but then it would not save anything in xml file) and which looks like this:<ComputerName />everything else works fine but it will skip the computername part. Can anyone give me an idea about what to do?Thanks,I forgot to mention that i have been following FireGeier's wonderfull guide for my unattended vista install.Autounattend.xml Edited February 21, 2008 by music5_5

Dechy Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 Hi,I'm having a weird problem, started using the VU Batch tools to integrate updates in my Enterprise image. Worked fine the first time. Now it simply won't, and it's probably because of something that wasn't documented in the guide for integrating them or something I'm doing wrong the second time around.Nothing changed on my PC except for the download of 20 some-odd new updates. Here at the steps I used when it worked:1) Copied all MSU to Vistawork\Updates2) Mounted a "virgin" install.wim3) Ran offline_update with no errors4) unmounted with commit5) burned/installed/checked for installed updates and they were all fine.Now, this is what I'm trying to do.6) Add ~20 MSUs to Vistawork\Updates (the other older ~20 are also there, so 43 of them now)7) mount an already updated install.wim3) run offline_update, but this time getting errors, errorlevel 161So I'm thinking to myself, I probably can't overwrite updates that were already there, so I remove the 20 some older updates that were already done and only leave the newer ones in Vistawork\Updates... still same error.At this point I just copy a new virgin install.wim into Vistawork\DVD and re-mount and try to re-update with the whole 43 updates. Now I'm getting errorlevel 1. Unmount with no commit, and only keep the updates that had worked the first time... STILL getting errorlevel 1. What's even weirder are the logs now, my txt logs are totally garbled up, can't read anything from them, but the first time it worked I had very readable txt file and those garbled files are also completely locked even when I shut down 75% of my processes, just can't delete them, keep getting the great "file in use" message box.How in god's name did I get it working the first time?? Using AIK build 6000, Vista Enterprise VL and doing the lab work using XP.WTB XP Update integration method...Thanks.
