Mustang AddDrivers

AddDrivers is a script to install drivers ( I thought there were drivers too....)
I've never installed drivers till now .... and now I see that a driver is a complicated stuff.
where an .inf file gives a lot of instructions ,also about step where Register is updated.
(as in eSAT-Si13132 example ).
Now my driver NIC for Intel(R)82566DC-2 Gigabit Network Connection that is in
c:\windows\system32\drivers\e1e6032.sys can be downloaded from HP as sp35017.exe .
I want install it in VistaPE but as you see it is not in the form required by Mustang script..
Or am I that don't understand ?

Many thanks.

 

Drivers can be complicated. Especially Intel NIC drivers. I hate when the driver is supplied as exe file. Try to find the driver on Intel.com. Look for a Make Disk option. That will give you a usable driver. You need to use the Vista driver from that disk.

 

Unfortunately Intel uses always .exe files ....
I could install i t under VistaPE every time I need a connection !

 

I 've downloaded from HP site the driver sp35017.exe
and extracted its content >>>>
e1000msg.dll e1e6032.din e1e6032.sys NicEtCoE.dll
e1e6032.cat E1E6032.inf NicCo6.dll NicInE6.dll

It seems there are the files needed by Add Drivers script.....
I've inserted them to the folder C:\WinBuilder074\Projects\VistaPE\Drivers\srcNIC\E1E6032.inf
and hit Play...
From Windows console I get >>> The image in the specified directory is not a valid
Windows PE image.
PEIMG : Operation failed status code : 0x80070002

Have I done some mistake ?

Many thanks.

 

I give up.

 

Interestingly I got exactly the same error when trying to add an NVIDIA driver using the Mustang PEBuilder plugin - even when I gave the correct path to the correct *.inf file.

I hope ,after a good rest , you 'll fix the problem...
VistaPE + Acronis plugin without AddDrivers is like Acronis bootable CD ....

Since when http://www.themudcrab.com/vistapeguide_drivers.php
has been written something has changed !
Even the installation "example" SI3132 has the same problem (if ever has worked).

 

Has been solved that problem ?

If AddDrivers cannot work VistaPE + TI are not much helpfull ....

Regards.
