Have a great day, and thanks for posting!

If you are asking me what I would do...
  I would slipstream SP3...

As far as order of operations, ServicePacks, Patches and HotFixes will normaly be first. You definately have to do it before you sysprep

OverFlow, Your the man brother. It worked like a charm the patch was missing.

Thanks again.

Question
Would i just add the patch before sysprep to my image for sysprep to install the required drivers?

thanks

you did not add KB888111 which is required for HD sound.

that KB is included with sp3 but not with sp2...

Problem Solved..

I just needed the question i originaly asked to be answered  "OS and ServicePack?"
you only half answered the question... a question that was clear and consise

Info:
Windows Xp Pro sp2
Volume Licesen (Corporate edtion as I am doing this for work)

These are the exact step I am taking;
Based of steps listed here --> http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=1682

1) Install the Corp edition Windows Pro Sp2 on a (P5E-VM) just to test out sysprep.
2) Copy over the sysprep folder I need
3) Download the latest Dbase drivers
4) Extract BASE to a folder by running the .exe you downloaded (example: DPs_BASE_7052.exe)
3) Extracted BASE, open the 'bin' folder.  Copy DPsFnshr.ini and extract DPsFnshr.7Z to C:\ on the computer you'll be running Sysprep on.
5) Inside of the BASE 'bin' folder, open the 'wnt5_x86-32' folder.  Copy ROE.exe to C:\sysprep, and extract DevPath.exe from M2.7z to C:\ on the computer you'll be running Sysprep on.
6) Extract your DriverPacks  and merged into the same folder structure under the 'D' folder (D\C, D\G, etc).  You should also have a set of files ending with wnt5_x86-32.ini.  These contain the various exceptions that DPsFnshr.exe reads when it runs.
7)Moved extracted DriverPacks ('D' folder) and wnt5_x86-32.ini files to C:\ on the computer you'll be running Sysprep on.
8) Open a command prompt and typed the following; C:\DevPath.exe C:\D and then C:\makePNF.exe C:\D
9) Open C:\DPsFnshr.ini and edit KTD = "false" as I do not want to get the drivers
10) KTD = "paths:D\G;D\3"   --> I know I have to name all folders and sub folders but this part doesnt matter as KTD is set to false
11) KTDlocation = "%SystemRoot%\Options\Drivers"
12) Edit c:\sysprep\sysprep.inf and add the following lines under the [Unattended] section

UpdateInstalledDrivers = Yes
DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore

13) Added the [SysprepMassStorage] line to the very end of syspre.ini
14) Ran c:\sysprep\sysprep.exe -bmsd
15) Ran this script provided here by Skillz --> http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic. … 639#p11639
      This will print out a file with all the massstorage drivers I have located in c:\d\m
16) Once script is done I modify it and take out all the known intel stuff as we only deal with intel at work
17) I then add the entry after [SysprepMassStorage]
18) At command prompt type C:\sysprep\ROE.exe 937
19) Run c:\sysprep\sysprep.exe -reseal -activated -mini -pnp -quiet  (To start my sysprep) it runs for 20-30 mins or so, after everything is done it turns  off and now at this point i will make an image of this by dumping it onto the network but i just want to see if sysprep worked, so i turn it on, it does it thing, Dbfinisher runs and everything else is installed except for the Realtek High Definition and only thing that is shown within the sound is;
Audio Codecs
Legacy Audio Drivers
Legacy Video Capture Devices
Media Control Devices
Video Codecs

So idealy i dont splitstream any drivers into any image, its all done by sysprep. Now reading what you wrote on the other forum, you claime I do not need to run the c:\makePNF.exe c:\d  command, and hence could be why it is giving me this issue?

Does this help, any more info please just ask.

Thanks again man.

Greetings All;

I would like to thank you guys for letting me sign up and post. I just heard about this driverpacks a few days ago and just started working on it for my work, but i am running into a few problems,

I followed this guide here:
http://forum.driverpacks.net/viewtopic.php?id=1682

I pretty much got everything done and also took out un-nessary massstorage drivers that were giving me problems.

Question
After doing all the commads blah blah such as c:\devpath.exe c:\d and then c:\makePNF.exe c:\d, then sysprep using this command as i use it at work.
c:\sysprep\sysprep.exe -reseal -activated -mini -pnp -quiet

After sysprep finishes then I boot up into window, sysprep runs same goes with driverfinisher etc, when I then take a look at the device manager looking in the Sound video and game controllers, I do not see the "Realtek High Definition Audio" driver installed; I just see the basic sound drivers such as;
Audio Codecs
Legacy Audio Drivers
Legacy Video Capture Devices
Media Control Devices
Video Codecs

Never the less, the driver "Realtek High Definition" is not there and therefore the sound wont work. I downloaded the latest driverapacks and I believe the driver I need is located in D:\S\R2, i also went ahead and replace all the files with the drivers from the cd, and still sysprep does not want to trigger the Realtek install.

I'm I missing somthing here.

Please advise
Thank you
