Hi,
Did you try to deploy your drivers with the key OemPnPDriversPath of
ris.sif file ?

Did you try to open the setup EXE with an archiver (Winzip, Winrar, ...) or
try to launch the installer and localize the temp directory. With one of
this method, you will find an INF file. That's required to be used by
OemPnPDriversPath.

I hope that will help you.
