Inside Out EdgePort/4 cannot be installed...

[=?ISO-8859-15?Q?Ulf_Jaenicke-R=F6=DFler?=]

Hi,

we want to use an Inside Out Edgeport/4 USB-To-RS232 converter.
Unfortunately, while installing the driver our XP Embedded device
gives an error: "Section not found" (inside the INF).
I suppose we are missing one or more components from our image
(which is quite reduced in size and contains only a minimal set of
components as needed by our hardware required by functionality).
Hence I wonder if anybody is using this USB-To-RS232 converter
with XP embedded successfully and might have a hint which components
are essential for it.

Thanks
Ulf

Ulf,

Did you install the driver at run time and it gave you the error message "Section not found"?
What SetupApi.log file shows related to the install?

Usually Usb-2-Serial converter drivers have very minimum dependencies mostly on USB host driver. Although it always depends on
particular driver implementation. In any case, scan the driver binaries with Dependency Walker.

Ulf,

Make sure that your inf do not reference section from other inf file. You
can do text search trough inf files for section name in question.

Yes.

Need to check it out.

Yes - we have a single D-Lock converter which works fine. However we would
like to have more RS232 ports.

Thanks for your hints. It's good to see you still being around. Unfortunately
lack of time and changed field field of work distracted me from the newsgroup.

Best regards,
Ulf

Thanks, I'll do that asap. Unfortunately a colleague took the device with
him for a couple of days...

As with KM - it's good to see you being around too. Thanks!

BTW, although completely unrelated - some time ago I read and followed your
EWF guide on CF. It worked like a charm. I wondered where the specific VolumeID
that is used in the registry comes from. What does it depend on? Is it the
first IDE drive?

Best regards,
Ulf

Ulf,

Just post us inf file here as attachement so we can check it out.

VolumeID I took it from MS configuration, but yesterday I have been playing
with EWF from SP2 and aparently this value (if ever used) is now obsolete
and not used.
So you don't need it and it depend on nothing. Only thing that you need to
worry is to fill properly UpperFilters value with EWF and to fill proper ARC
path.
