Not strictly a SUFWI problem I think but will ask here.
Have an infrared gas detector which uses USB via an application. The end user has no control over installation of either software or drivers as everything done via MSI and Group Policy.
Have fresh XP machine, manually install application, plug in hardware & install drivers when prompted. Captured all registry & file changes. The drivers are for Win2K so it advises re compatibility before building system restore point & installing.
Import files & registry into SUFWI & build. Refresh XP build from Ghost image and try the MSI. Everything works fine except the USB. It still wants to run the New Hardware Wizard and the Win2K compatibility. When they are acknowledged the system installs the drivers fine without any prompting of file location etc.
I had hoped by making the file & registry changes through the MSI that I could fool the system into just accepting that all installed OK and start the drivers. Does anyone have any idea of how to stop it asking these questions - the INF file looks normal to me? I have checked the registry and all settings are identical between version installed manually & that which the MSI installs.
Thanks - John
