      @giejo63 I’m running into the same issues. I have a sysprepped Win 7 image that has the C:\drivers location set to look for drivers. I have the drivers on the FOG server in /images/drivers and the scripts are executable. The postdownload file is set to run the script, and I have SetupComplete.cmd on the image set as described in Andrew’s wiki page.

      Anyone have some ideas?

        Feeling pretty discouraged at the moment 😞

        My postdownloadscript works perfectly unless I use variables, at which point it no longer works. You can see a few of the things I’ve attempted and commented out. Even using ${postdownloadpath} doesn’t seem to work - I can only call my postdownload script if I specify the absolute path. My cabs are in /images/drivers/Win7/. So for the Optiplex 9020M, the location is /images/drivers/Win7/Optiplex 9020M/*.CAB - I’ve also tried Optiplex9020M - still doesn’t work. I’m on Rev 3606, Debian 7

        The only things in /images/postdownloadscripts are fog.postdownload and driverinstall.sh. Permissions on both are 777

        Contents of fog.postdownload:

        #!/bin/sh
        ## This file serves as a starting point to call your custom postimaging scripts.
        ## <SCRIPTNAME> should be changed to the script you're planning to use.
        ## Syntax of post download scripts are
        #. ${postdownpath}<SCRIPTNAME>
        #. ${postdownloadpath}driverinstall.sh
        . /images/postdownloadscripts/driverinstall.sh
        
        

        Contents of driverinstall.sh:

        #!/bin/sh
        
        #This script was adapted from Lee Rowlett's fog.drivers postdownload script (https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/4278/utilizing-postscripts-rename-joindomain-drivers-$
        #This script assumes your image has been modified to look in C:\Windows\Drivers in addition to the default location for Windows drivers (http://technet.microsoft.com/$
        #Make sure this script is called from your fog.postdownload file by adding ${postdownloadpath}/driverinstall.sh to the /images/postdownloadscripts/fog.postdownload fi$
        mkdir /ntfs &>/dev/null; #Create new directory called ntfs and supress any system or error messages
        mount.ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /ntfs; #Mount the NTFS Windows OS partition to the new ntfs directory
        machine=`dmidecode -s system-product-name`; #Get the model name of the computer being imaged
        #machine=$(dmidecode -s system-product-name)
        #machine=$(echo $machine | tr -d ' ') #Remove the trailing spaces from the model info
        #Get the OS version info and set it equal to the osn variable for later use
        #if [ $osid == "5" ]; then
        osn="Win7"
        #elif [ $osid == "6" ]; then
        #osn="Win8"
        #elif [ $osid == "7" ]; then
        #osn="Win8.1"
        #fi
        #osn="Win7"
        mkdir /ntfs/Windows/Drivers &>/dev/null; #Create the C:\Windows\Drivers directory and supress any system or error messages
        echo -e "Extracting Drivers..."; #Tell the user that FOG is extracting the drivers within C:\Windows\Drivers
        #cabextract -d /ntfs/Windows/Drivers "/images/drivers/$osn/Optiplex9020M/9020M-Win7-A04-JG7GH.CAB" &>/dev/null;
        cabextract -d /ntfs/Windows/Drivers "/images/drivers/$osn/$machine"/*.CAB &>/dev/null
        echo -e "DONE!"; #Tell the user that FOG has finished copying the drivers and finish the imaging process

            Debugging 🙂 i found 2 problems:

            • ${postdownloadpath} variable is not recognized

            • when i put the full path /images/postdownloadscripts/driverinstall.sh, i have an error which says that /bin/bash^M: bad interpreter. -> i dont have any ^M at the end of the line.

            Any ideas for the variable and bad interpreter ??
            Thanks in advance

              Did you by chance transfer the file from a windows machine? If so you may need to convert line endings.

              dos2unix /images/postdownloadscripts/driverinstall.sh

                @cml i will try that. Maybe it comes from a windows machine.
                Do you konw why i can’t use the ${postdownloadpath} variable ? (my fog server is a ubuntu 14.04)

                  @giejo63 where are you check the variable? Is it on the server or the system downloading the image?

                      I mean where are you checking the variable being set?

                      Are you checking directly on the fog server with echo $postdownloadscript or are you checking on the system receiving the image?

                        @Tom-Elliott as it is in the fog.postdownload script, i think it is the system receiving the image
