I'm setting up a custom Windows ISO and need to move my drivers there. However, after extracting the files from the installer, it's unclear where the driver folders are located. Could you provide an example of your audio driver directory structure?

Searching for .inf files. From the folder names it seems the installer holds several drivers. It probably identifies your hardware and installs the appropriate ones. You should determine which driver matches and add that file. I’d only add essential drivers. Once reinstalled, those included drivers will likely be outdated, particularly GPU ones.

They all include many inf files. It might be wiser to launch the main installer once the operating system is set up.

I agree unless you're ready to invest time in discovering the installer's actions on your specific setup, such as the precise files it employs or installs.

An improved suggestion, can we automatically launch the installers? (Including unattended options?)

I recommend utilizing a solution named winutil, which includes microwin embedded, allowing you to install drivers effortlessly on a minimal Windows ISO.

I can handle that with NTlite as well. Please review the entire discussion.

The search results indicate NTLite includes a post setup feature for executing scripts. If the installer offers an unattended installation option, that seems appropriate. I haven’t focused on bespoke Windows setups since Windows XP with nLite.

I don't have access to external tools or the internet to verify availability. You'll need to check directly in Windows for the latest updates.
