@jedi4ever One additional change needs to occur to the autounattend.xml so that windows knows where the drivers are, other than that they are picked up automatically. e.g. for windows server 2008r2+ (all versions), the change required is to add in the windowsPE phase the following component: <settings pass="windowsPE">
...
<component name="Microsoft-Windows-PnpCustomizationsWinPE" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<DriverPaths>
<PathAndCredentials wcm:action="add" wcm:keyValue="1">
<Path>F:\WIN7\AMD64</Path>
</PathAndCredentials>
</DriverPaths>
</component>Note the explicit path (F:\WIN7\AMD64) is inside the ISO (WIN7 drivers are the correct ones for 2008r2+ as well) |

this looks quite good but I can not merge because of conflicts, could you rebase and let me know when it's ready to merge |

Hi,
This is more of a 'feature request' and I'm not expecting this pull-request to be merged as-is.
I have a requirement to install the virtio drivers into a windows system during install.
In order to do this I need to make available a second CD image - the one from RedHat which contains kvm's signed virtio drivers.
I've only extended the behaviour for virtual box but it should be relatively trivial to implement for other providers.
I'd suggest however that the whole ISO availability should be abstracted to a map with properties which include things like: download url, instructions, md5 hash / sha1 hash etc. just as is already present for the main OS ISO.
Let me know what you think
Brett
