It appears that PNPUtil.exe is used to add drivers to the DriverStore which only exists for Vista and Windows 7, so I don't believe there is a PNPUtil.exe for WinXP.

I'm not aware of any specifically myself, but if you check the unattended XP forum on msfn.org (<i><a href="http://www.msfn.org/board/forum/70-unattended-windows-2000xp2003/" rel="ugc">http://www.msfn.org/board/forum/70-unattended-windows-2000xp2003/</a></i>), they might have some 3rd party utilities that will do driver installs.

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.

Installation is the act of making a computer program program ready for execution. Because the process varies programs often come with a specialized program responsible for doing whatever is needed for their installation. Installation may be part of a larger software deployment process. Cross platform installer builders that produce installers for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux include InstallAnywhere, InstallBuilder and Install4J. Installers for Microsoft Windows include Windows Installer, InstallShield, and Wise Installation Studio; free installer-authoring tools include NSIS, IzPack, Clickteam, InnoSetup, InstallSimple and WiX. Mac OS X includes Installer, and also includes a separate software updating application.
