we applied here the solution given by michael Kidd (thanks..) it is not simple but it works (look in the archive its mail from april 12th... which consists in modifying the "hivesft.inf" file, and giving the driver path string as a register key... Find a line that says this: HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion","DevicePath",0x00020002,"%SystemRoot%\inf" let's hope a well integrated solution in the unattended system?
