Hi

I need to add some drivers for vga card and modem to my RIS image. I have
had a try at using $oem$ directory and referring to it in the .sif file.

But can't seem to get it to work. Do the drivers need to be in a special
directory under $oem$ and/or what are the best commands to use in the .sif
file?

I have read a little about the oemsetup.txt file but can't seem to get much
info.

Any hel would be great.

Hey huffnpuff,

This KB article should explain the whole process to you. Just follow the
instructions exactly.

How to Add OEM Plug and Play Drivers to Windows Installations
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;254078

SUMMARY
This article describes the steps to add Original Equipment Manufacturer
(OEM)-supplied drivers to Windows installations. This article only includes
drivers that are typically installed during graphical user interface
(GUI)-mode Setup or after Setup by Plug and Play enumeration. This permits
you to pre-load OEM Plug and Play drivers that you can use if the
associated hardware is added to the system later.

I hope this helps.

Are quotation marks required when stating your path for OemPnpDriverPath?
See example below from the link recommended.
4. Create a Sysprep.inf file in the Sysprep folder, and then add the
[Unattended] and OemPnPDriversPath = Driver_Path entries. You can list
multiple paths in this key by separating them with a semicolon (. For
example:
[Unattended]
OemPnPDriversPath = "Drivers\network adapter;Drivers\Video"
