I already checked wether the id's of the hardware are a match for the id's in the .inf file of the drivers (both in the .inf file as in drivers.xml).

HardwareID's:

PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_040F&SUBSYS_049A10DE&REV_A1
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_040F&SUBSYS_049A10DE
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_040F&CC_030000
PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_040F&CC_0300

The id's match, OS version 6.0 matches, and the architecture X64/Amd64 matches.

 Drivers.xml:


    NVIDIA Display NVDW.inf 7.15.11.6255
    NVIDIA
    7.15.11.6255
    08/04/2007
    .\Out-of-box Drivers\Display\NVD 7.15.11.6255\NVDW.inf
    Display
    x64
    6.0
    LOTS OF OTHERS
    PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_040F&SUBSYS_049A10DE
    A FEW MORE


 nvdw.inf:

[Manufacturer]
%NVIDIA% = NVIDIA.Mfg,NTamd64.6.0

[NVIDIA.Mfg.NTamd64.6.0]

%LOTS OF OTHERS
%NVIDIA_G84.DEV_040F.1%  = nv_G8x,   PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_040F&SUBSYS_049A10DE
%A FEW MORE

Manual installation of the driver works perfectly, but during hardware detection (in WinPE2.0 (sp1) because of a strange reason, the driver is not detected, and in the end Generic Display Driver in Vista64 is installed in stead of the nVidia driver wich can be found in the Out-of-Box Drivers. The Out-of-Box Drivers contain many nVidia drivers, and a few of them can be used manually. Some drivers are downloaded from the Dell website, others are directly from nVidia (Tried it all). Does somebody know what could be the reason that this driver is not used in the Vista64 hardware detection or matched and copied locally by the ZTIDrivers.wsf script?

 Sorry for the crappy Drivers.xml data, some of the tags are interpreted in stead of just displayed as txt.

yeah, it does not pick up the driver. What I did: I had to create actually an .iss answer file for the nvidia setup.exe (-r -f1c:\nvidia.iss) and then call it with setup.exe with silent -s switch to install silently without reboot during deployement.
I created under Make and Model an entry for the machine, and just added the application I created for the driver in there, so it is marked for install if specified model is recognized.

I called Microsoft, with the question too, and they say that the way NVidia packages their drivers, basically in my words, sucks :)

Good luck if you find a way.

Ps: I had FX 570 graphic card driver to worry about.
