I have this working well now, except that the driverpacks must be already downloaded first. From then on, Windows Setup will run completely automatically and wipe the disk, copy over the Windows files, reboot, run SDI to download and install any required drivers, run Chocolatey to install any apps and then finish. The user can then add any unaltered official MS Windows Install ISO to the Easy2Boot USB drive, boot to E2B and then pick the ISO file and an XML file. What I am trying to do is add SDI to Easy2Boot. What I would like is a command line parameter to make it detect only required driverpacks, download them, install them and exit. Instead, it seems to install any offline driverpacks that are present and at the same time download some driverpacks - except that as soon as the offline driverpacks have been installed, SDI closes! The console shows me it was 40% of the way through a torrent download when it closed. I expected it to download any required driverpacks, install all required driverpacks and then close. This does not do what I wanted\expected\hoped. autoinstall -showconsole -autoupdate -norestorepnt -autoclose I have now tried SDI with the following parameters SteveSi if you have any questions, you can message me. Also has command line switches ( (v=vs.85).aspx). (**) DPINST.exe has a 32 bit and 64 bit version. (*) to collect the drivers from Windows OS I use Double Driver 4.10 because it show all drivers installed on host machine or target machine(very handy feature), automatically selects only third party drivers so it make it easier to backup installed drivers and NOT WINDOWS GENERIC DRIVERS. If you are trying to slipstream/integrate/automate driver install, I prefer to collect the drivers needed(*) and use Microsoft DPINST.exe(**). SteveSi to answer your question DPS has a portable version (10-11 GB). To remedy the problem with DPS I just delete everything in program folder. I will check it out again if you say its quicker and better then DPS. LOL, I've been testing SDI in my environment from R100s-200s, then stop using it for awhile because of the hangs and slow downs then came back in mid R300s, and still wasn't that impressed.
