Winnt.sif and hardware detection.

[Guest]

I have build a cd that contains all drivers that our computers us.
The drivers are placed in cd\$OEM$\$1\drivers\nic which contain all nic
drivers that we need.
We have also added the following two lines to winnt.sif
[Unattended]
UnattendMode=FullUnattended
OemSkipEula=Yes
OemPreinstall=No
TargetPath=\WINDOWS
OemPnPDriversPath="drivers\audio;drivers\nic;drivers\modem"
DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
ExtendOemPartition=1
FileSystem=ConvertNTFS
Repartition=Yes
UnattendSwitch="yes"
KeyboardLayout="Norwegian"
AutoConfirm=1

When installing on hardware where we need drivers from the manufacture the
unattended installation isn’t able to discover the hardware.
After the installation is done we perform a manual hardware discovery and xp
is able to find the drivers on the cd without pointing directly at the driver
catalog.
What is wrong?

Hi there

The $oem$ directory won't be processed unless you change that OEMPreInstall
line entry to "Yes".

Apart from that, what you described looks good.

Hope this helps
