Topic: Slipstreaming Sound A+B Has Removed Even The Native Support!

I can install an "untouched" Windows XP in VMware and
it will install the sound driver, I have the volume icon in
my system tray and nothing in Device Manager has any
problems.

I have slipstreamed all driverpacks including "Sound A" and
"Sound B" and now, the sound driver has not installed at all.

This was tested on:

Windows XP Professional SP2
Windows Server 2003 Enterprise SP2
Windows Server 2003 Datacenter SP2

I can understand it in Server 2003 but in XP?

I am totally perplexed by this.

I am going to try "Method 1" instead (although then I will have to drastically
cut down on the driverpacks used, because of the 4096 character limit) and
if that doesn't work, I don't know, I just haven't got a clue what could be causing
XP to not even have its own native driver support anymore???

1 - No, I did not remove any drivers with nLite.

2 - I am using the brand new v7.04 of the driverpacks.

The DriverPacks BASE does *not* remove any native drivers. It does override some of the default mass storage drivers, but that's it.

Before jumping to possible conclusions, please post your DPsFnshr.log, which should sit in %SystemRoot%.

The VMware sound is discussed many times before, please do a seach first.
