Heya,
We have tried to create a custom bootable 2000 installation CD with non-native drivers.
Unfortunately, though we have all of the relevant fields within the answer file and the relevant directory structure on the CD, the drivers still aren't installing. What we want to do is create a CD where an $OEM$ directory is automatically copied over to sysroot\system32\drivers and then have them install during GUI mode.
Here is a sample of our answer file:
;SetupMgrTag
[Data]
AutoPartition=1
MsDosInitiated="0"
UnattendedInstall="Yes"
[Unattended]
UnattendMode=FullUnattended
FileSystem=LeaveAlone
OemPreinstall=No
OemFilesPath=$OEM$
OEMPnPDriversPath=drivers\mat200;drivers\nv52;drivers\usb;drivers\mat200
OEMSkilEULA=Yes
OEMSkipWelcome=1
DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore

[GuiUnattended]

Proxy_Enable=1
Use_Same_Proxy=1
HTTP_Proxy_Server=10.150.20.1:8080
[Identification]
JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP
[Networking]

The current directory structure on the CD is:
root\$OEM$\$1\drivers\driver name
root\i386\winnt.sif & installation files.
Any insight?
Just so ya know, M$ doesn't support this but from what I understand, more than a few have been able to sort it out.
Thanks!
