Inject drivers into install.wim
I had already done that about a month ago and forget what I didn't like about it. I'll have to look again

maxXP the injetion method has some disadvantages:

First of all if you have a lot of drivers all drivers will be injected into the "final" Installation. So it's wasting space. But all driver methods injecting all drivers fromt the drivers folder.

It can cause problems if you inject drivers into an image where you were injeceting drivers before.

May be there are some more problems.

I've written that HowTo (German version) month ago, cause this was the first method I got working. It's not the best, but it's an alternate method and you can come around driver signing prompts.

For the moment I'm working on a method, where I use my %DriversRoot% method but which figures out the drivers GUID before installing the drivers. So not all drivers from drivers folder on removable media will be installed.


BTW, it realy sucks, that MS gives you different methods to inject drivers and at least all methods will copy all drivers from your drivers location to the Vista driver store. It seems not to do that, if you use BDD and a database of systems, but that's not what we need for privat use, where we may want to let run our unattend on every system.

SpOOf, you say nuthin works for you but you fail to say why??? or post your methods??? or ans files etc???

Button pushin progs are only helpful if you know what they do & a basic understanding on how to manually do the task.

Martins example above does in fact work & will produce the log file to prove it...
Vista pnp drivers however are another story, manufacturers ware will tell you they work fine with Vista etc. However I know better than to believe them. Not all of them mind you.

.....Statements like, "Still no go", "It doesn't work", do not help us or you to sort your problem.......

I manually done that myself a month ago when I was looking for alternative to configsetroot. Found it on Technet

With my program when I inject them with the driversroot it only allows once right now. If you want to start over them its back to copy source again which don't take long. I did find and I warn people do not inject something Vista has a later version cause it will crash. My first BSOD in Vista I used Driver Genius Pro and saved them all. You basically must install Vista once without any drivers so you know what it will be missing if you doing this for 1 PC of your own. It can be done also if you going to make 2 or 100 of same model.

Yes, all the tools was designed for Buisness or Dell/HP and not the single installer out here. Perhaps what we need is comprehensive list of all driver versions from a Vista image but right now I don't have time to do that. Gives me an idea though.

what i use is a clean Vista RTM version Dutch.
And did exactly what it says, and tested the iso's in Vmware.
The Autounattend.xml works fine.
The Hotfix integration works fine.
But the drivers will not work, and so isnt maxxpsoft's tool.

Maybe its cause i dont have a English Vista.

Hello MC!

Thanks for the honour! But the driver injection method is not my method! It's described in WAIK help. The only thing I did is, that I've made these instructions more detailed and with some pictures. That's enough work... but it's not my method.

My method is described in thread here.



Thanks & regards,
Martin

shouldn't matter and drivers are a little harder. Takes some work on your part to figure out whats going wrong. Might open the infs and take a look.

sp00f, please try if possible not in virtual machine but install to other partition or Hdrive you will allway get problems with drivers when testing in Virtual machine thats why MaxXP and Myselfe always test now on real partitions or hdrive, i know it aint allways practical to do but if Hdrive is large enough just make a partition for testing we just make image with acronis trueimge and you can get system backup in a few mins:))
