the problem there is you are downloading the driver setup.exe
and not the driver itself

Experiment with DD driver export... into a Drivers Folder... Copy that folder to the USB, after the Win7PE build is complete..
Use device manager to load driver... Or use DD to restore the driver once in PE

That testing is on you - and you will have to find what works for you..

Do not worry about adding the drivers to ISO - your main goal is to get driver integration into PE for now..

NO! I'm not downloading and use the driver.exe, for example driverpack doesn't provide in most of case.

I take the inf, che cat, and drv, dll.. make a subfolder, like your previous image.

Same in case of oem products. The EXE is usually a selfextractor that i decompress and normally use in the device manager.

So, where I mistake or missing?

If I knew I would gladly tell you...
Test with the Driver Export feature...

But let me ask you this > Why Win7PE ??

From my understanding win7 is funny about drivers anyway

Yes, I know... sorry it seems I'm (i say) a dumb and I don't understand why not work.
You basically, confirm my way: download driver, adding them in the folders, check load at startup, end.
Is not difficult :)

I need to do that for every PC, or omogeneus PC and make Special PE for them. My primary goal, is build an "univeral" *PE* also for SOS RESCUE :)

Because my LAN is totally 7 and some XPs, not 8.x or upper versions of windows.

you would have to export the network drivers from every Host PC into that Drivers folder...
This will build a drivers database for every PC you used your SOS Media on..

To get a - Universal PE - you need a Universal PE Driver database or driver reference folder

Remember when you boot PE - PE may not contain the right network driver for the PC - but, the host OS system does..

Sure, but doesn't obtain an universal environment, but only a "LAN" environment, and every time I add a PC I need to update my iso.

Are you booting the ISO ??

IF your company has 20 PC's and each one has a different Network Card.. You need 20 network drivers...
Or a database for the 20 network drivers
Or after you boot PE - you use Device manager to update the PE driver from the host system database

They are many more, so i'm searching the "Driverpacks" way.
Same also for Storage....
