I am migrating our "business" to vista from xp and I want to be able to automate driver installation with a batch file. I am a little familiar with batch file and have written some basic one's but this is a bit over my head. I would want to add the file to a specific point in the migration and have it pull NECESSARY drivers from a specified folder. If anyone can think of a better way to ACCOMPLISH this task I am all ears thanks in advance for any help. I am not sure if this is close to what you want but there is a Microsoft DevCon command-line utility you can download and use at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/311272 that is a command-line utility that functions as an alternative to Device Manager.
I found a couple of tutorials that are kinda what you want that might work with some tweaking...

This last link is an open source SOFTWARE solution.............. http://wpkg.org/ Boot from the XP CD and choose the Recovery CONSOLE to try a System Restore. You can search for lots of how-toe's and help on "XP System Restore", it's a bit lengthy to post here. Good luck.
