Nepali Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 i have successfully created a unattended XP of 655 MBnow i got some additional drivers Approx. 60MB compressed will become 4 MB, if i place these under $OEM$\$1\Drivers\mydrivers, my CD will become 715 MB.isn't there any way so that i can compress this and place somewhere, but should work like as if i have placed inside $OEM$\$1\Drivers suppose say:- shell32.dll is compressed to shell32.dl_ (reduced size ) and it decompressed in system32 with 8MBisn't there a simple way for this so that i can easily put my additionals drivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcemanND Posted June 1, 2007 Share Posted June 1, 2007 yes you can compress them and then copy/decompresss them during the 'detachedprogram' portion of setup. There are a few post/ guides around for doing that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepali Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 thanks dude,i managed to build a winrar sfx to compress all my drivers and to be extracted under %systemdrive%\drivers during t-39 stage. but one thing,which phase of windows setup process actually starts to detect drivers ....i got fear if this could jump th setup without detecting my drivers ..

IcemanND Posted June 2, 2007 Share Posted June 2, 2007 drivers are detected shortly ater the t-39 point as I recall, so you don't want this to take to long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepali Posted June 2, 2007 Author Share Posted June 2, 2007 does this mean that if i compressed drivers abt 250 MB resulting 80 MB, which may take 2 minute to extract meanwhile t-37 starts will affect driver detection.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
