Thanks overflow for the history.  Sounds like they can be trusted since they have a presence here.   Pretty lame thought that they don't have a credits link in their app and give credit to the work done here. 

I would assume SAD could also be driven attended in some matter by just running it from command line after an install (minus the nice UI) of course.

I did read in original post though that DPFinisher had to still get working under Win 7.  Is that still the case?  If so then perhaps I might be better off with Driverpacks Solution for my needs.

If I did decide to do an unattended disk, then I would like use the Win Toolkit app and it looks like that app supports adding the driver packs here to it.  I assume it just integrates these, so its different approach then SAD takes.

How does this utility differ from this one:
http://driverpacks.net/docs/driverpack-solution

Also I saw in some other forum site a user comment that this Driverpack Solution was installing some Russian programs or folders into the windows install.  Is it a legit solution?

Has this now been fixed in the official release versions of the Driver Packs?

UPDATE:
Yes, it has, just checked the release notes for the new DriverPacks BASE 10.06

DriverPacks BASE 10.06 release notes wrote:

- mass routine updated...

- Fix dumpydooby and jfcarbel issues with deleted txtsetup.sif entries

Thanks to all for fixing this!  Going to try it now in a build I am doing.

I think I may have found an issue with DriverPacks and a certain nLite AddOn

Using this AddOn integrated with RVM Integrator v1.6.1b2.1:
http://www.wincert.net/forum/index.php? … build2716/

BUG: The below lines are removed from txtsetup.sif section [SourceDisksFiles] after DriverPacks:

UltraISO.CAB = 1,,,,,,_x,,3,3
UltraISO.inf = 1,,,,,,,20,0,0

Even did this SYSOC.Edit INF correction (see below) as suggested in AddOn forums by user Geej posted on 11/29/09, but issue still occured even after these changes:

[SYSOC.Edit]
%17%\sysoc.inf,Components,EZSystems=*

This all caused all INF installs to fail, Wordpad.exe and Calc.exe went missing. 
Adding back the 2 UltraISO entries into txtsetup.sif fixes issue.

So DriverPacks integration is removing UltraISO entries from txtsetup.sif for some reason.

Info:

Integrating into Windows XP Pro SP3 VLK
DriverPacks BASE 8.12.5, method 2, RunOnceEx
Also made sure to clear out QSC directory
Using the very latest x86 drivers packs for Windows XP as of 1/14/2010
no 3rd party driver packs
textmode driver packs integration along with all the other base ones (i.e. CPU, Chipset, Graphics, Audio, etc).

Here are sample files:
txtsetup.org
txtsetup.sif (after integration of driverpacks and I fixed and added back in the UltraISO entries)

Here is integration log:
