How to choose & install individual Driver/s using WPI/ batch/ script

so here's the scenario, i'll have all the driverpacks in my OEM folder on a CD\DVD, windows is already installed and needs sound & video driver, i'll open WPI, tick graphics*.7z and sound*.7z then click install or just double click batch file or script.

it would then extract ( drivers to a temp folder on C:\D ) only the selected drivers will be extracted then detect & install the correct drivers and delete the temp folder.

The best option for you would be to run save_hwids.exe (located in my sig), identify the hwids that dont have a driver assigned and then do a search into the extracted driverpack folder for those particular hwids. Once you have a match, you can manually install your devices. Windows will only look in specified folders for drivers unless you specify it in regedit with "Sysprep Driver Scanner" for instance.

God! There's gotta be an easier way than that!
Jaak's been working on a cmd script (I'm toying with one now) that automates the process using the DriverPacks finisher itself.
Not making much progress though. sad

Hi
the script with a "post install" finisher was pretty much useless when setup from a holographed original CD had finished.
It does not make windows detect new hardware.

The answer was 42?
Kind regards, Jaak.
