Plug & Play Drivers

[W de Villiers]

Hello

I am doing a Full unattended install on my network PC. For driver absent
from the Driver.cab I am using the place the driver in the $OEM$ folder
technique. I am trying to make my PC Printer ready. Most my PC have HP
LaserJet 1000 or 1005 or 1010

Set-up:

I created 3 folder and copy the basehost driver download from HP website

$OEM$\$$\Hp1000
$OEM$\$$\Hp1005
$OEM$\$$\Hp1010

in the unattend.txt I added

OemPreinstall=Yes
OEMPnPDriverPath="hp1000;hp1005;hp1010"

the unattended installation works fine. When you connect the printer it
installs, it is visible that it find same of the plug & play drivers. only
that it ask again for the location of the drivers. Once you point it to the
location installation completes.

Only that the point of unattended install is not the do anything, ideas what
I should do?

Thank You

Wernich de Villiers

Are the hp1000, hp1005 and hp1010 folders on the root of your C drive? (i.e.
C:\HP1000, C:\HP1005, C:\HP1010)

Does the registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DevicePath
list %SystemRoot%\HP1000, %SystemRoot%\HP1005, and %SystemRoot%\HP1010?
