dotmike Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 There's a wonderful piece of software called nLite which allows slipstreaming a Windows XP installation disc with service packs, updates, drivers and even conveniences such as pre-entering your product key and setting the time zone (which normally bring the installer to a halt in the middle of the 30 min installation process). I've used it to create a Windows XP Pro SP2 install disk which is my purchased XP Pro + the all recent security patches (about 40 of them) from Microsoft.com downloads + a bunch of 3rd party drivers (Keyspan etc) + my pre-entered product key + tweaks such as Start Menu display options. It has worked fine for quickly installing a fresh XP via Boot Camp, but at the conclusion of this I then have to run Apple's Install Macintosh Drivers for Win XP.exe. I feel this could be incorporated into the nLite slipstream process. However, to do this I need to extract the drivers. So, does anything with more XP experience than me know how to: a) extract the drivers from Apple's .exe (an InstallShield program) or, find the drivers after they are installed, that is, are the .INF and support files intact somewhere?

llamabird Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 DriverGuide Toolkit can be used to backup drivers that you've installed, you'd probably be able to use that to get the drivers into nLite. I haven't used it myself but it worth a shot. http://www.driverguidetoolkit.com/ Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/14651-extracting-drivers-from-install-macintosh-drivers-for-win-xpexe/#findComment-93822 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouch Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 You can get a demo version of the install shield editor thingie I think.

abcslayer Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 - Open your apple driver .exe Try to find the .msi file (arround 80MB) in you Documents and Settings/your user name/Local Settings/Temp/a folder here (the folder name change every time the installer run, so just find it). - Find the lesMSIable (something like that) and Microsoft Orca Tool to extract the file under .msi file. I have extract all the files successfully. Now I'm not at home to take care about the registry setting.
