Not all $OEM$\Drivers are loaded
Hi

I am currently configuring a WDS server with an XP SP3 image but I am having
some problems with the drivers.
I created the image with "sysprep -mini -activated" and have created a
sysprep.inf. The sysprep.inf is used during the mini setup and everything
seems to be working fine but not all the drivers are used.
When I check the \Drivers folder on the destination computer not all the
folders have the INFCACHE.1 file, and according to the information I have
found if the file is present then Windows have cached the folder during the
mini setup.
If I check C:\Windows\Setupact.txt I can see that the mini setup used the
drivers in "C:\Drivers\net\e100032 8.8.1.0\" which are the Intel Gbit network
adapter but non of the other folders are present.

I am using a Lenovo ThinkPad T61 with an Intel 965 Express display adapter,
I downloaded the driver from Lenovo.com.

Does anybody have an idea about what's going wrong?

RE: Not all $OEM$\Drivers are loaded
Hi

After doing some tests and creating a new image I can see that none of the
drivers from [OEMPnpDriversPath] in Sysprep.inf are used.
I can see that it actually goes through the Sysprep.inf file because it runs
my [GuiRunOnce] command without any problems.

So my problems is WHY don't the mini setup use the drivers specified in
[OEMPnpDriversPath]?
I place all the drivers in C:\Drivers\ and in Sysprep.inf I use
"Drivers\LAN" etc.
