I've made a custom Vista dvd made with vLite.
During installation I'm getting messages about some drivers which I must click to go further.

Anyone knows how to ignore driver signing during installation?

Any help would be great.

Thanks

Based on this thread, it would appear you are SOL atm. Best to only use certified drivers in your unattended install, although I would recommend altogether.

You can dig through WSIM to see if it gives you an option. My WSIM doesn't have an image to associate with the unattend.xml I have on it, so I can't view all of the available options.

Microsoft has a tool called DPINST.EXE. It comes with the windows driver kit.
It allows you to install a pnp driver from the command line as an executable and has a switch which installs unsigned drivers silently.

Nice. I've got to try that one.

I just put Vista in Test Mode to run unsigned drivers. It doesn't do anything else except put a watermark on my background.

For this one I used DPINST.EXE "legacy mode" switch for unsigned driver and "silence wizard" switch since "silent" didn't work, you get a silent unsigned install:

@ECHO OFF

CD %SYSTEMDRIVE%\sj652
DPINST.EXE /LM /SW /F
CD %SYSTEMDRIVE%\sj652\ENGLISH
REN HPSETUP.ISS SETUP.ISS
SETUP.EXE /S

For this I used DPINST.EXE all I need is "silent" switch /S

@echo off

DPInst.exe /S

dj_req.msi /qn

Toolbox.msi /Qn

this is the error I get.



I've also made a new vLite iso without the latest hotfixes. problem not solved.
And also used this time the driver packs from http://www.ryanvm.ne...opic.php?t=6703
Problem still exist.

I'm using a OEM Vista home premium DVD with sp1 integrated from the factory.

anyone a solution?

Thanks

The best and the easiest way to integrate drivers without errors or pop-ups, is by using "Vista-Tools". It uses Microsoft's official WAIK application to add drivers, very easy to use application (vista-tools) that does the job perfectly.

Vista DriverPacks for x86 and x64, and integrator

It won't work with this tool. It's crap to me. No decent documentation. Cannot integrate drivers for all vista version at once.

Anyone have a solution for vLite?

Neither can vLite. You are reaching too far.

vLite also has nearly NO documentation.

Crap to you, for me its the magic tool.
And all Vistas at once.... lol, NOT possible.

[arjanv]

I solved my problem.

[COOLCOMPUTERGUY]

Please could you tell us what the problem was and how how you solved it ?

You can also use peimage

Here is a portion of my image prep batch file

Drivers are inserted offline to my dressed image

After the drivers are installed, then I use vLite to install the updates
using the dressed image as my source.

Driver signing is now taken out of the setup process because the
drivers in question are already installed.

Imagex Note: change the amd64 to x86 in the path if you are in an x86 environment
