I'm a bit confused about the directory structure with drivers.

I put some directories from Dell Drivers packs in /opt/pcbin/install/win7-x64/drivers/drivers/$modelnumber e.g. /opt/pcbin/install/win7-x64/drivers/drivers/E6500. The drivers were picked up by ./create_driver_links.py, but were not installed when I performed an Windows installation. I did not find very much information about the different directories (preferred, additional, buildin, excluded) in the user manual, but there was some kind of explanation in the Getting Started Guide. It indicated that it should be possible to just put drivers in a directory under /opt/pcbin/install/win7-x64/drivers/drivers, but apparently that doesn't work. I also tried to put the drivers inside preferred, but they were also not installed.

Hi,

first take a look at the output of the show_drivers.py <your client> command.
Make sure that all file system rights are ok using the command.
After the installation have a look at c:\drv.
Are all drivers there ?
If yes - is windows able to install them by hand from this location ?
If no - have look at the bootimage log to see why they are not copied.
At least there is the possibility that the unattend.(txt/xml) is broken.

Does this help ?

I'm sorry. It turned out to be my fault. The Dell driver packs had drivers for both 64bit and 32bit windows. Once I removed the 32bit drivers everything started working.
