I overlooked the link to the other page, where its exactly described how and
where to add the /gplpv.
After adding the /gplpv and rebooting the box, the drivers were installed.
Now I go try and edit the boot.ini file on the image that I copied from the
physical box, and try copying the *sys and *inf files there too, hopefully
the BSOD will be gone then.
Are these driver installers doing more than just copying the *inf and *sys
files into the correct places? In case they do more, what would that be?
However, I also tried to activate shutdownmon, but this still fails:
ShutdownMon.exe -i
produces a popup window, with the following contents(freely translated from
German):
The application could not be initialized correctly (0x0000135).
Klick "OK" to close the application.
kind regards
Sebastian
