Automating the Installation of a Driver
The procedure for automating the installation of a driver is as follows:
- Select the desired software folder in the Software Library.
- Choose the task Automate > Driver Installation.
The Driver Installation Wizard starts. In the wizard dialog, you can chose from the different methods for installing drivers and then install the selected drivers.
- Select which packaging task you want to perform.
The following tasks are available:- Driver package (from file/folder or from current computer)
If you select several drivers, they will be stored in the same package. - Multiple driver packages (from file/folder or from current computer)
If you select several drivers, the system stores a separate package for each driver. - Mass storage driver package for Windows XP or 2003
Used mainly in the context of operating system installations.
With the help of the wizard, a driver installation can be automated by either of two methods:
Method 1: Selecting installed Plug & Play devices
Method 2: Using an installation data medium (CD-ROM, diskette, directory)
There is one further way of automating the installation of a driver:
Method 3: Recording the installation with NetInstall Spy
