Hi All,
I am having issues installing the device drivers after Windows 7 is installed. We are not using Deploy Anywhere. The process for OS Install is as follows.
1) Erase Disk
2) Install OS (Ghost image - I specify the answer file under the sysprep configuration).
3) Copy Drivers (The drivers are copied to C:\Drivers).
4) Boot to Production
In the answer file, I specify the drivers path to C:\Drivers under the WindowsPE pass. But that did not work. I then specified the Drivers path under SystemAudit as well, but it did not work either.
WindowsPE
<settings pass="windowsPE">

I have the 1st 3 steps working and I am presented with a login screen, but since the drivers are not installed, the 4th step "Boot to production" fails. I would appreciate if someone can guide me where to specify the drivers path in answer file so that the drivers get installed correctly. Please advise.
Thanks !
