Thanks Pat I am using Windows XP and according to that link:
"In Microsoft Windows XP, the maximum length of the OEMPnpDriversPath value is 4,096 characters." I am not at work at the moment so I cannot see how long the path is but I will check it out tomorrow. Thanks for the feedback as always. -----Original Message----- From: Patrick J.

I assume if you manually "select all" of the drivers it fails in the same way? (Otherwise, we have a very strange bug.) Perhaps you are running into the 1024-character limit on OemPnPDriversPath (http://support.microsoft.com/?id=312535). You can check this by examining the value of OemPnPDriversPath in the generated C:\netinst\unattend.txt file for a failing install. > When however, I do the auto method by enabaling the section at the > bottom of the config.pl file, the sound and lan drivers will simply > not install. They used to though ??? This would happen if OemPnPDriversPath were too long and the lan and sound drivers were toward the end of it. If this is the problem, you can either start renaming things to make each element of OemPnPDriversPath shorter, or you can write config.pl code to select the correct subset of drivers automatically, or you can live with selecting the drivers by hand. This is, unfortunately, a Microsoft limitation, so there is not much we can do about it. - Pat ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by BEA Weblogic Workshop FREE Java Enterprise J2EE developer tools!
