Would adding ANY infrared device drivers with, say the Chipset pack, & subsequently integrating in a Win7 disc, force Win7 to install the infrared service as well?
If so, would this not have an effect upon system latency (windows searching for IR devices)?If any of those conditions are true, would the IR (SIR, FIR, CIR, etc) drivers better belong with the 'Miscellaneous' pack (to preserve mainstream system latency)?
That's a good question. From my understanding, integrating the drivers with DISM will add the drivers and .inf files to the local C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository of the install.wim, whether the system needs them or not (think KTD). The system won't scan for devices on an IR device that doesn't exist.
To be honest, I never add drivers via DISM that aren't boot-critical. I only add DriverPack Chipset, Mass Storage & maybe LAN...that's all. The rest I install via SAD2 post install which uses DPINST.
