Problem getting my Windows 7 x64 Altiris 6.9 SP3 Scripted OS Install to install drivers
Hello,
I'm working on a Scripted OS install for Windows 7 x64. I've been working with the unattend file in WAIK and I got it to where it will install the OS without any prompts. Now I'm at the point where I need it to install drivers.
We are a Dell shop, so I paid a visit to http://en.community.dell.com/techcenter/enterprise-client/w/wiki/2065.dell-driver-cab-files-for-enterprise-client-os-deployment.aspx
This site has cab files containing all drivers for each model Dell machine.
In WAIK there are components called amd64_Microsoft-Windows-PnpCustomizationsNonWinPE and amd64_Microsoft-Windows-PnpCustomizationsWinPE that allow you to specify a path to the drivers. I tried doing this and pointed to the root of where my drivers were but I get an error during setup saying it can't find the drivers.
Do I need to point this to every individual folder under my drivers share? That seems crazy as there are a lot of folders. Is there a better way to do this?
I know if I ran sysprep I could inject the drivers there but I'm avoiding that as I'm doing a Scripted OS Install.

I just got this to work by removing the WinPE component and leaving the Non WinPE one. The WinPE stuff is handled by Altiris.
