Editing PMQ files?

[Guest]

Hi, I want to edit a PMQ file created to delete all traces of a driver found
do I just delete everything between <DEVICE ConfigFlags="0"> and </DEVICE>?
On a different test pc, running TAP in XP made the image buggy b/c of the
drivers for a TI PCI1225 card reader. When I got the PMQ file from bootup it
did not detect those drivers, but adding the drivers later in TD worked. But
running bootup PXE TAP on the target PC it detects the cardreader but it
doesn't show up when booting after FBA. I can't find XP drivers for the card
either to componetize it, but it is located in TD already though. TIA for
any advice.

What people typically do is import the entire PMQ into Component Designer
and set the new component's prototype to the "Selector Prototype Component".
That will give the check marks for every component implied by your new
component. When you add it to your configuration in Target Designer, you
can de-select the drivers which are causing you issues.

Awesome Thanks! Where do you gurus learn all this stuff? I have Liming's
book but it doesn't mention anything about this.

walnut,

XPe Docs? And you gon't have to be guru to search Google
E.g., http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/dnxpembed/html/custshell.asp (just search for "Selector Prototype Component")
Or, better, read this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...-us/dnxpesp1/html/XPESP1_Build_Deploy_Img.asp
