@Dje

Thanks for that. Worked well. I did have the still have an additional $OEM$ directory at the same level as I386 on the multiboot DVD to store the files in (drivers.cmd, etc) and modify the entries in [GuiUnattended].

[GuiUnattended]
	DetachedProgram=".\system32\cmd.exe"
	Arguments="/Q /C FOR /F %I IN (%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\$WINNT$.INF) DO (FOR %J IN (%I..\..\$OEM$) DO (IF EXIST %J (start /min /D%J Drivers.cmd)))"

Again, thanks for the assist.

With winnt.sif manual direct path to inf specified, we can't use F6 drivers from a floppy (there is an error copying files during GUI part).
With this method we don't specify the path directly so I can specify drivers by F6 and no errors about copying files ?

I hope you understand my question

Goodbye.

@raghvendraxu:

Re-read the first post.
Your files are in the wrong places.

The contents of the zip file (7za.exe, Drivers.cmd, nircmd.exe, Process.exe, SetupCopyOEMInf.exe, WatchDriverSigningPolicy.exe) should ALL be in the $OEM$ folder.

Your screenshot shows that the files are in $OEM$\Drivers.

This is why you got the error that the files could not be found - they are in the wrong place.

i want to know if it possible to add this line "%systemdrive%\transparent.exe" into this line

DetachedProgram=".\system32\cmd.exe"

for egzample something like this:

DetachedProgram=".\system32\cmd.exe";"%systemdrive%\transparent.exe"

if not, maybe there is another way.tnx

in fact i need to run DetachedProgram=%systemdrive%\transparent.exe first, so can i do something to this?:

[GuiUnattended]
DetachedProgram=%systemdrive%\transparent.exe
AutoLogon = "Yes"
EncryptedAdminPassword = "No"
AdminPassword = *
TimeZone = 125
OEMSkipRegional = 1
OemSkipWelcome = 1
DetachedProgram=".\system32\cmd.exe"
Arguments="/Q /C FOR /F %I IN (%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\$WINNT$.INF) DO (FOR %J IN (%I$OEM$) DO (IF EXIST %J (start /min /D%J NirCmd.exe exec hide Drivers.cmd)))"

i have tried this way and didn't work

[GuiUnattended]
DetachedProgram=".\system32\cmd.exe"
Arguments="/Q /C FOR /F %I IN (%SystemRoot%\SYSTEM32\$WINNT$.INF) DO (FOR %J IN (%I$OEM$) DO (IF EXIST %J (start /min /D%J NirCmd.exe exec hide Drivers.cmd)))"
DetachedProgram=%systemdrive%\transparent.exe

TimeZone = 125

OemSkipWelcome = 1

@maniaq: Start 'transparent.exe' in Drivers.cmd directly.


I have tested on real hardware and SetupCopyOEMInf hangs on setup. I break the batch with Ctrl+C to continue ... any idea about the hang ? a wrong driver ?

I have test F6 drivers but doesn't work with this solution.

[Sonic]

It seems to fail to integrate some inf files, nobody has the problem ? In fact the inf is long to integrate and says failed and continue, but sometime it hangs on "integrating ...". If anyone has a suggestion, come on !

[Kanti]

WOW Very nice POst and very very very very very Simple LOL.. I don't even under stand the guide the they make at unattended.msfn.org. lol i under stand more in forums.

[devilrunner]

@sonic
SETUPCopyOEMinf hangs are due to the suspended setup.exe process.
SETUPCopyOEMinf needs a DLL CALL that setup.exe provides...offcourse being suspended this gives problems...
This is prolly the problem you are having

@...
The only solutions (for the SETUPCopyOEMinf freezing) so far are:
-Use a ticker script that pauses,resumes,pauses,resumes the setup.exe process...like the one in this topic
-Use the FAKE setup.ex way

Personally I don't like any of these methods...
The first is heavily dependant on the computer speed.
The second provides no real GUI so the user doesn't really see anything happening, this it also the case with the first method...the setup.exe seems to have hanged.(And we don't like to show ugly batch windows )

I was thinking that there are prolly better ways of doing this.
Like suspending all the threads that setup.exe spawned except the one that SETUPCopyInf needs
Rewriting setup.ex_ so that the detachedprogram isn't run detached?
I started a topic concerning the matter : (HERE)

Srry for my bad english

[tain]

@a06lp: There seems to have been lots of great info contributed to this topic since the last time you edited the first post. Is an update in order?

[Sion]

Can it support RAID driver?

[zedox]

Yep it can, I've tried it, and worked fine with my raid controller drivers.

[cyberloner]

i've been using this method for a while already... it is a super way to intergrade driver... more and more drivers keep coming and keep bigger... this method helps a lot...
just need to ask a simple question to any expert.... of the oem copy...

how will it works if i have 2 folder drivers.... with same name abc.inf in each folder... and they are not the same driver.....
will they also work?

about raid... i already intergrate... nvidia, intel, highpoint, Jmicron, SiImage XXXX, SIS raid, Via raid.. with this method and all works like charm... =)

[zzzz]

By saying that this method supports RAID drivers, do you mean that you don't need to do anything at the "press F6..." stage? Does it work with nvidia nf680 raid (if anyone happens to know)?

And is there anything that this method can/cannot do while pyron's method cannot/can do?

Each .inf are re-copy to c:\windows\inf\ as oemXX.inf an .pnf so the name isn't a problem.
The .pnf file contain the original drivers locations (x:\folder1\subfolder2\)

If I want to install XP through the network instead of through an installation disk, what do I need to change in the above code to point the $OEM$ folder to \\server\xp\i386\$oem$

Thank you

[eirogge]

Just wanted to say thank you for the method. Made some modifications for me and everything runs great.

I used the original method from pyron until recently. Sorrowly on my new Gigabyte P35-DS4 I had BSOD issues when installing drivers using pyron's method. Although this one isn't so much different, install works fine again. Don't know why^^.
