Hmmm. That would imply that it is OEMPreinstall that copies them to the hard disk, and all OEMPnPDireversPath does is look on the HDD and index them. I guess that kind of makes sense. Damnit ... looks like I'm going to have to test that now ... or soon.

Right you are, BD. Anyways, I don't waste my time with the negative stuff, unless someone really needs that occasional slap in the face. Then again, I don't read most of the posts unless the title looks interesting enough, and fortunatly for me, most people post with boring titles!

I appreciate these samples of tweaks when tested can be very handy for my UA creation.

And if you're one of those people that don't want to use OEMPnPDriversPath, use: http://unattended.msfn.org/intermediate/fi...tDevicePath.exe
It was written by Pyron,and performs the same job. All it does is parse the directories and adds them to the registry entry for Windows to find em.

%CDDRIVE%\Drivers\SetDevicePath.exe %CDDRIVE%\Drivers

Pretty simple enough.

Oh, I also changed the CODE boxes to allow them to scroll

Thanks, Alanoll, though you know how weary I am of using those third party applications! However, I think I'll take a look into what happens: if I all need to do is add some registry entries, no reason not to do it from a Command Script. One thing I have noticed is that at some point the directories are "indexed", creating PNF files. That make me think I need to get the files there early on. Another thing on the ToDo list ...

(Now if someone could format this post so it wasn't so wide!)

[wolfien]

I tried the SimonSez method, with the DefaultHide mode and OEMPreInstall=Yes,
and it failed to copy the files as usual...

The bad news is, it worked in a VM, since it did not require the drivers to function, so they were not copied at all... but when I tried it on my * sob * brand newly re-installed windows, right after the format, it failed to copy ... AAARRGH! So now I'm re-installing windows again using the same CD I did b4... Well, so much for knowledge!

[j4ever]

so if i have oempreinstal=no but i still have oempnpdriverspath, my drivers will still install?

also:

what happens if i were to do:

UnattendedInstall=no
Oempreinstall=yes

would oempreinstall then work along with F6?

[wolfien]

I don't think so...

The moment OEMPreInstall=Yes the F6 option is out...
But it's worth a try... try it and tell me about it
