I'm creating an OPK image and want to have USB 2.0 drivers installed with out needing the end user to interact. I will be using multiple Intel MBs and Sysprep reseal to final.
I am not sure if I can put the drivers in PNP drivers directory or will I need to run the .exe in OemRunOnce. If the later then I need to run the .exe in silent mode.

Any thoughts Please--

If your OPK includes Service Pack 1, the driver is already included. Otherwise, slipstream Service Pack 1 into your OPK.

Yeah - guess I should have looked this one up on MS KB. It does not help to just look in the OEM area..

I386\$OEM$\$1\drivers file. This folder includes PnP drivers and support files, as well as other drivers not found with Windows and are copied to the %systemdrive%\drivers folder on the target. Add the OEMPnPDriversPath to the answer file will tell Windows where to look.

This is true, but that is also the problem. The install .exe does not extract the install files only. They do, but I can not control where, just the files.
I guessed by going into the drivers folder on an running system but they would not install in this matter. Maybe I did something wrong <-- not that I do.... ever..... ha.
