Hey, Does sysprep search the OemPnPDriversPath recursivly or must each sub
dir containing drivers be specified. I get the impression from what I read
that each dir that contains drivers muct be specified but would like this
confirmed.

Thanks, Darren.

Hi
Yes, you must specify each directory which contains an .inf file to describe
your driver....

Sysprep does not recursively search subdirectories, but only those
directories you explicitly specify.

For example:

If OEMPnPDriversPath=\install\driver\video

and

If I have fubar.inf in C:\install\driver\video, Sysprep WILL find it.

If I have fubar.inf in C:\install\driver\video\somesubdir, Sysprep will
NOT find it.

Sysprep will, however, exhaustively search all paths specified. So if
I defined 30 paths and fubar.inf is listed in last path specified
Sysprep will find it.
