Unanswered Rtlcpl.exe prompt after reboot

    I am using MDT2012 and deploying Windows 7 to a Dell Optiplex 7010.  After the first reboot but right before the application installs start a prompt comes up asking for permission to run rtlcpl.exe.  The applications installs won't start until the prompt is answered.

    Via Google, I know that rtlcpl.exe is the "Realtek Audio Control Panel" and that while it is installed with the audio driver it isn't absolutely necessary.  So my questions are:

    1)  Is there a way to suppress the install of just this part of the driver?

    2)  If it can't be suppressed is there a way to get MDT to ignore the prompt or somehow answer the prompt?

    How do you install the driver? Via "Apply driver package" or as an Application?

    I had added a bunch of drivers to MDT for models that I don't service just in case I might randomly need them and I suspect it was one of those drivers causing the problem.  I deleted all the drivers out of MDT 2012 and then imported one by one the models used by our company and so far it's working fine. 

    Short lesson:  Don't just dump willy nilly a bunch of drivers into MDT just because you can.
