Hi Gregory! > I thought that the oempnpdriverspath was the source path,

They are copied to the root of %SystemDrive% which is C:\ Because of that fact, you should create a single directory (e.g. "driver") unter $1 and put all drivers in directories below that one. "driver" (and all subdirs and files) are being copied to c:\driver by windows setup. The OemPnPDriversPath parameter in unattend.txt tells Windows Setup to use (some of) these files to install devices. Even if you choose a subset of the drivers you maintain on the server below that directory, ALL files are copied to the new workstation. Because of that, some of us delete this folder at a later stage of the installation when the drivers are not needed any more and waste disk space. > Besides, this path is in the unattended.txt under C:\netinst on the > destination system after install. ie it is auto-generated by the > unattended installer.

It is better to create one once and place it into unattend.txt in /install/site. DO NOT TOUCH /install/lib/unattend.txt because that is part of the distribution, is maintained by us developers and possibly changes with later releases. The /install/site directory is completely yours, an update will not change anything there, and it is intended for site-local changes. If you compute a OemPnPDriversPath parameter and put it in /install/site/unattend.txt, you will not be asked by the Unattended config script any more, which makes live easier. There is no reason to select the drivers by hand: the files are copied completely and windows setup only uses, what it needs, so that additional drivers don't harm! > Can someone clear this all up for us please? I hope I achieved that for you. Ask me, if it was not clear enough or if I missed something. cu Niels ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by Microsoft Mobile & Embedded DevCon 2005 Attend MEDC 2005 May 9-12 in Vegas.
