I created an MSBatch file for unattended installation using Batch98, but when run the system freezes while configuring its hardware.

Is there a way to add additional drivers so the machine will configure itself without issues?

To add drivers to your unattended install, you just put them in the directory with the win98 cab files, no?

But crashes during install are more related to unsupported configurations and fussy detection issues than missing drivers. Tell me more about the system you are using for testing.

Sorry for the late response.

I'm using a VIA MVP3-based Socket 7 motherboard.
