nvidia and answer file
« on: April 02, 2003, 05:11:46 PM »
Hi,
Im trying to install nVidia drivers (43.45) using WinXP+SP1 CD  with my answer file (floppy), it copies over the driver that are in CD-ROOT$OEM$$1DriversVideo but it doesnt install them, they are unpacked (copied from the destination folder no .EXE).
How to i tell Windows to install the nVidia drivers instead of the defult ones or take out the defult and install nVidia?
 
                      Thanks Russ

Check this:
1. In you answer file (winnt.sif) on flopy you need these keys:
[Unattended]
    UnattendMode=FullUnattended
    OemPreinstall=Yes
    OemPnPDriversPath=driversvideo
    DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore

2. You need to create this folder $OEM$$$INF and copy (not move) all .inf and .cat files from your nVidia driver folder to this folder.

p.s. I\'m not sure about .cat files, but I do this and it working... at least for my ATI drivers.
