there are quite a few posts on here about this - try to search for stuff. The link below is even stickied.
here is a starter link LINK
the finisher only runs once and deletes itself and will not run again. so no you will only get drivers after KTD is used.
no control panels or start menu shortcuts or setup programs will be run. PERIOD.
I have said this at least 500 times: ( at LEAST 500 )
KTD has no useful purpose on a normal machine. Its for a Technicians Test Bed (what i call an AIR machine.) that will have cards plugged in one after the other for purposes of verifing if they are working or not. (to eliminate windows as the problem by useing a Test Machine)
Look at it like this - suppose you load a machine for an end user with KTD (which takes up 1.5 gig of disk space) and then add hardware 6 months later - do you really want a 6 month old driver @ 1.5 gig. and no control panels - Heck No! that is a huge amount of disk space to backup / defrag / virus scan / waste especially when the odds it will ever be needed is near 0%.
how often do people add "NEW" hardware and don't have the disk that came with the "new" hardware.? (scratches head bewildered)
instead create a "drivers only CD" {Search the forums} and use the search removable media feature of windows add new hardware. let's face it if your adding a new device then you are at the machine arn't you??? take the driver disk with you DUH!
no the finisher will not run post install because the finishers inf files (that come bundled in the driverpacks) are deleted when the finisher runs and only the finisher will "automagicaly" finish the drivers.
dont do this - dont try to do this - its not a good plan and it doesn't give the desired results.
I am half tempted to remove KTD as a GUI option to eliminate this FAQ and confusion surrounding it.
side note MOST drivers in the packs do not need the finisher at all (i am guessing over 90%)
side note 2 the finisher will NOT install drivers only windows does that.
KTD should only be used IF you are loading a test machine on your workbench.
counter indexes to 501 times. steps down off soap box.
perhaps after i get BartPE on the run ill work on a - RIS / syprep / OEM install - platform in to a beta.
