Hi,

I have a dell D630 and i am trying to install the drivers.  So far i have tried it 2 ways.

(I have installed the network driver by using the out of box driver - all ok)

1) The remaing drivers (graphics card intel, sound, O2 Reader, Wireless and Interchipset) i have installed via applications using the silent command options (setup.exe -s).  This installs fine except for the wireless and intel chipset fail.  (When i run the wireless and intel chipset silent options on the machine locally via cmd , it works fine).

2) The other way i tried was, i installed the drivers via applications and i added a new task group in task sequence called Dell D630 Drivers after 'installed applications'.  I then created a seperate 'install application' for each driver that is in the 'applications' selecting 'install a single application' (see screen shot).  Yet i still get the same problem as above.

Is there a better way i should be using the task sequence to install the driver applications?  If so, would it be possibe to send me a screen shot of your task sequence or an example one to help understand where i am going wrong. 

If i am doing it totally wrong, then what would be the simplest way?

Many Thanks

Thanks,

I have extracted the drivers, created the folder structure, and modified the customsetting.ini as follows: -

[Settings]
Priority=Model,Default
Properties=MyCustomProperty

[Settings]
Priority=Model, Default

[Latitude D630]
Driverpaths1 = \\al-test2k8\distribution$\Drivers\dell_d630\Inter_Chipset
Driverpaths1 = \\al-test2k8\distribution$\Drivers\dell_d630\Graphics
Driverpaths1 = \\al-test2k8\distribution$\Drivers\dell_d630\O2_driver
Driverpaths1 = \\al-test2k8\distribution$\Drivers\dell_d630\sounds
Driverpaths1 = \\al-test2k8\distribution$\Drivers\dell_d630\wireless

[Default]
OSInstall=Y

UserDataLocation=NETWORK
SkipAppsOnUpgrade=YES
SkipCapture=NO
SkipAdminPassword=YES
SkipProductKey=YES

------------------------------------------

Does it look correct?  

Whats the next step? do i need to set something up in the task sequence now?

Regards

Hi,

you are on the right way! Here is a part of my CS.ini:

[Settings]
Priority=Model, Default
Properties=MyCustomProperty

[Default]
OSInstall=Y

WUMU_ExcludeKB1=940157 --> because we don´t want to install Windows Desktop Search

; XP Treiber
[PRO 6000 I]
DriverPaths1=\\server01\Distribution$\Drivers\PRO6000I

[TravelMate 290]
DriverPaths1=\\server01\Distribution$\Drivers\TM290

[HP Compaq nc6320]
DriverPaths1=\\server01\Distribution$\Drivers\HPnc6320

The folder structure is:

\\server01\
            |
            |-Distribution$
                    |
                    |-Drivers
                           |
                           |-HPnc6320
                           |             |-ChipSet
                           |             |-SoundCard
                           |             |-VGA
                           |             |-...
                           |
                           |-PRO6000I
                           |             |-ChipSet
                           |             |-SoundCard
                           |             |-VGA
                           |             |-...
                           |
                           |-...

This works for me with XP and Vista. For Task Sequencer look at the attachements.
