Yes, you can do that also, but since we want all our drivers to be included with the DVD, we’ll use X:\, because that’s the drive letter (root folder) assigned to files that are on the DVD, by the Windows Setup.

So if your DVD has a folder called Drivers, you can arrive to it during the installation by using X:\Drivers.

imagex /mountrw C:\WIM\install.wim 1 C:\Mount

Create Folder “Drivers” in Mount folder (ex: C:\Mount\Drivers)
Copy all folders that have drivers are extracted (ex: “Nvidia”,”Agere”,”Intel”…) into “Drivers” folder

Go to Components (in Windows System Image Manager)
-> PnpCustomizationsNonWinPE
-> DriverPaths

Then add PathAndCredentials to “Pass 2 offlineServicing.”

Add some string value to Key, ex: “myDrivers”
Path = “X:\Drivers”

imagex /unmount /commit C:\Mount

Follow this shortcut if you’ve already done all step in part 1

Well, it depends. If the .inf file instructs the installer (Windows Setup) to install other applications with the driver, yes it will. Windows Setup only looks for that .inf file, which makes the whole installation. So it depends on how the driver is built.

To make yourself an idea about what files will be installed, take a look at your .inf file for a section named [SourceDisksFiles].

Yes, Nvidia Display driver installs its Control Panel.

Thanks again for the effort.

Yes, it is possible, but you have to do some “hacks” on the software. If the software supports silent install, as the .msi installers have, it’s easy to integrate.
Else, you have to manually create an “installer”.

I will cover software integration later, due the lack of time. I wish the day had 50 hours

Thanks for nex greate howto. But what about other programs, like winrar, firefox or games? Can we add this programs to unattended setup, like with nLite for windows XP?
