          I should mention that the Dell .exe driver packages will not work as-is. Make sure you extract them first.

          This is the driver folder structure I use for all of my images:

          AHCI
          Audio
          Chipset
          LAN
          Video
          WiFi

            You are way too good to me. Where did you obtain all the drivers from?

              @mcgonigiggle The manufacturer’s site, silly 😛

              If you’re only using those two Dell models just grab the drivers for both, extract them to your folder, run the reg add command and you’re done.

                Well I figured that one, silly! 😛 I was hoping you had zipped files! XD

                I wish your user name was “Ferris Bueller” so I could appropriately say, “Ferris Bueller, you’re my hero.”

                  See: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753716.aspx

                  Inclusion of a driver package in a folder referenced by the DevicePath registry entry does not remove any prompts created by the signature on the package. If the package is not signed, or signed by an unknown or untrusted publisher, then the user is still presented with dialog boxes to accept the publisher. Inclusion of the certificate used to sign the driver in the Trusted Publishers certificate store removes this additional prompt. For more information, see the documentation about signing device drivers on the Microsoft Web site

                  https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/ff544865(v=vs.85).aspx
                  https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd919238(v=ws.10).aspx

                  Unsigned drivers are one of my many banes.

                    @mcgonigiggle I don’t have any right now, but I know a guy…

                    Just download 7zip and then right click any Dell driver .exe file and extract 🙂

                      WiFi

                      I do something similar already - but I have other folders too… like
                      Smartboard
                      NiNite
                      NAPS2
                      eStudio_Drivers
                      FOG
                      CannoScan
                      Insight

                      and so on.

                      Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG!
