The Drivers that are installed throughout the "Installing Devices" section of GUI-mode Setup have to be found in confident position. At this point, Setup installs the devices (by using Plug and Play IDs) that have been itemized by Windows Plug and Play. Setup searches a predefined path on the drive, looking in .inf files to locate the most excellent match for the Plug and Play ID of the apparatus. This path is defined in the following registry position and is set to %SystemRoot%\Inf by defaulting:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DevicePath: REG_EXPAND_SZ:%SystemRoot%\Inf.

The setup uses this path to position .inf files for apparatus installation. After Setup, this path is in addition used for the several innovative hardware found and installed. If you alter this key during Setup by using the Sysprep.inf or Unattended answer file, the charge is saved and is in addition used subsequent to Setup. If the OEM-supplied drivers are not digitally signed, you receive a warning message regarding this during Setup.

By defaulting, the entire the drivers are deployed to the target sysetm. Then, Windows PE and the objective operating system utilize Plug-and-Play IDs to recognize the apparatus drivers required for the devices on the target systems.

If the problem persists, you might try the DRIVERPATHS method to install the driver or install the driver as an submission (obtain a .exe driver file).

The procedure by which you add OEM-supplied drivers to a Windows Sysprep Setup is comparable to the process illustrate in the "Unattended Setup" segment of this article, except for that you do not have to generate the allocation share. To add drivers to the mini-setup wizard of Sysprep, you have to pursue these steps: 1. On the root of the volume where the %WinDir% folder is situated, generate a folder structure to grasp the OEM-supplied drivers. For illustration: \Drivers- - \NIC- - \VIDEO\Sysprep\WINNT. 2.

If you do not desire the OEM-supplied drivers to continue on the quantity subsequent to mini-setup is finished, you be able to place the folder structure that you produced in the preceding step in the Sysprep folder. Make certain that you regulate the OemPnPDriversPath = key suitably. The Sysprep folder (along with the entire of its subfolders) is mechanically detached subsequent to Setup is finished.
