Tried installing it with all updates integrated on a much faster machine today, instead of my old slow test computers, and it worked like a charm, no massive work after it was installed, and sound was on from the first boot.
It might be because the old ones i tested it on cant handle all those updates within the instalation and has to do some of them on the first boot.

Ive made a fix for ris and ris like installs so the unpacking (presetup) works (requires the driverpacks 7z files, and bin folder is inside a folder called DriverPacks in your ris image root) It will also make KTD an option with 2 links on the desktop after installing. 1 for removing the unpacked files for ktd, and one for instaling kts, and remove the instalation dirs when done.

Extract this file into your i386 folder overwriting the old one.

Extract these files into your /OEM/bin dir, the bin subdir DP_BASE creates inside the oem folder.

Add this to your sif file instead of DPfnshr.exe

EDIT: Just tried my theory out by setting it to install a very big package (.NET Framework 3.0 runtimes) during the windows instalation with the svcpack function, and that resulted in the same sound error on my fast pc.

Hm well i only get that error when im using a ris image with hotfixes slipstreamed in by nlite and drivers by DP with Autoimage (in that order)
When i take a clean ris image directly from a cd and then apply DP only it works fine, sound is on when its rebooted after gui mode setup.
And there that pci modem aint installed either. It should also be noted that the error is reproduceable on ALL the computers i have tested it on, both laptops and stationary ones, with and without onboard/pci modem.
I will try it though, but i dont have any high hopes for it hehe.

No KTD was installed.
All other drivers works fine.
And if i reboot a few times the soundcard starts working all by itself.

In nlite i import all the updates (downloaded with Windows Updates Downloader) sort em by name so the oldest KB is first, then i put wmp11 in top and IE7 as nr2, that should be ok? With just that everything works ok, but no drivers for soundcard and wlan, then i put DriverPacks on the image, and no sound on the first couple of boots.
If i take a clean copy of the same windows instalation but without hotfixes and put DriverPacks on it the sound works fine even before the DriverPacks finisher starts (in fact that made a lot of annoying beeps when the driver signing things popup so had to add the mute.exe to GuiRunOnce also.

No as faar as i understand the SAD tool is made to import the drivers to an already installed machine, and my problem comes long before that, even if i disable the finisher (as should be the same as that SAD tool) i still get no sound.

I will try it again today and see if i can get some logs out of it, screenshots etc.

RIS installs will copy anything you put in the source dir (the same dir as your i386 folder is in on the RIS server) to your local harddisk during text mode, cause it does not have acces to your ris server during most of the gui mode setup, so oem install is not nessesary with RIS.

That being said it should be pretty easy to make DP support RIS just a matter of editing the presetup.cmd to fit the dir structure of the oem folder with the driverpacks files inside (in fact you can call it what you want doesn't need to be called OEM with ris)

If i try a clean XP source with DP method 2 and my edited presetup.cmd everything works great.

However if i try to add DP method 2 and the same presetup.cmd into my nlite slipstreamed source with ie7 wmp11 and all hotfixes (as works fine alone) some strange errors arrive, for example it wont install soundcards properly in some machines, it install some MS WMNI or something like that driver, as shows up with a ! in the device manager and there is no sound on the machine, after some reboots it works though without having messed arround with it. Thats clearly a nlite/hotfix caused bug, so dont take it like im saying its your fault.

Im a linux guy, you should know i then support sharing my work with others, however im would prefer to wait untill i have made it work with hotfixes included also.

But here it is for those who just want DP included in their RIS image without anything else hotfixes etc.
I wont suggest to use it with nlite slipstreamed sources, it causes those strange errors, but when i fix that i will ofcause post it inhere aswell.

SET DPPATH=%SYSTEMDRIVE%\$win_nt$.~ls\DriverPacks

%DPPATH%\bin\un7zip.exe %DPPATH%\DP*.7z %SystemDrive%\
%DPPATH%\bin\un7zip.exe %DPPATH%\bin\*.7z %SystemDrive%\

COPY /Y %DPPATH%\bin\DPsFnshr.ini %SystemDrive%\
COPY /Y %DPPATH%\*.ins %SystemDrive%\

%DPPATH%\bin\DevPath.exe %SystemDrive%\D
START %DPPATH%\bin\WatchDSP.EXE

This is setted up to work with a folder called DriverPacks instead of OEM.

Last but not least please dont take it personaly, its not like i said it was your fault the new version doesn't work with ris, the only reason i included it was that you then could backtrack what was changed since then and maybe find the reason.

The folders is copied over without OemPreinstall, and method 1 works fine without OemPreInstall, so thats not the case.
But without OemPreinstall the packages will not be extracted using method 2.
The diffrense is without OemPreinstall the $OEM$ folder is deleted after reboot nr2 in the instalation process.

Tracked back what the diffrense was since last time where i made the working method 1 install, and the only diffrense was that i used an older version of db_base so i tried to make a working method 2 install using the old dp_base 8.0.5 and it worked fine over ris, so you guys must have changed something since then that breaks ris installs.
