I have a problem with my ASUS notebook i want to instal windows xp pro s2 with ris.
The nic (Realtek 8169) is not supported by windows so i did this:

I placed these files :



in the I386 directory and i also maded a "$oem$\$1\Drivers\Nic" folder. I edited Ristndrd.sif with these extra lines



Now my [Unattended] looks like this ;

But now i get an error "File rtenic.sys cause an unexpected error (21) at line 3788 in d:\xpsprtm\base\setup\setup.c".
Can somebody help?

This is my first post.

Thx alot.

First, for the driver path entry, your OEMPreinstall value needs to equal YES, or those files will be ignored. As to the error, I'd say that the version you integrated doesn't play well with RIS (not uncommon with Realtek and Broadcom drivers) - remove the version (and any .pnf files it generated) from the \i386 directory, and see if you can download a version that works properly (you may want to do a google search for your NIC and RIS to see if there are posted "good" version numbers). Don't forget to stop and restart binlsvc when you're done.

The OEMPreinstall was already set to YES but i posted it wrong in my post.

Does anyone have a working driver for Realtek 8169 that works with ris. I tested alot of drivers but they never works .

Try putting the driver .sys files in i386\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS as well, and the .inf files in i386\INF too, then restart the binlsvc and see if that helps - I've seen that work with 8110 Realtek NICs, and the 81xx drivers appear to be unified (just tried it on an 8139 in an XP image and it worked), so it might work for you with the 8169.

rt8169xp.sys
netrtxp.inf

copy both to \I386

It's not the latest from RealTek but version 5.100.702.2002 extracted from SMS OSD PE wim image.
Let us know how it works.

I didn't work with your files Bilou_Gateux.
Now i get the error "The operating system image you selected does not contain the necessary drivers for your network adapter .....".

I didn't notice it mentioned in this thread, so I will mention it just in case. If you download the drivers that Bilou_Gateux posted and follow his instructions, you will then need to restart the Boot Information Negotiation Layer (BINL) service on your RIS server. This step is necessary prior to attempting to use the new drivers.

I always restarted the BINL service .

You put the files in the wrong place, as the error message is generated by text mode based setup. Check: http://lukasz.chrost.com/index.php?option=...l&Itemid=17 for more info.
