Adding all those registry entries into a component - HOW?

[Guest]

I am componentizing (attempting to) an SIS video driver for Intel's Little
Valley board. Run inctrl5, install the drivers under XP Pro and I end up with
more than 400 registry entries. I am guessing i need most of them because it
is memory mapped video. If I just import the INF, I get no registry entries.
But how do you add all those entries easily? Is there a cut -n- paste
utility or anything like that? Or some trick I haven't learned?

Help a brother out here.....

For a device driver you reall don't want to add the registry keys. Just
import the INF file, and these keys will be setup during FBA. The two
resources for the Component do all the work.

I tried that and got an Active Directory HTML file missing error.
Could I be missing some other dependancy?

You get this error for a video driver? Something isn't right.

In Device Manager do you see the video driver? In the Display Control panel
does the SIS video driver appear?

I get no yellow ? in device manager, it shows the SIS graphics driver.
If I change the display properties via display properties.settings , I get
the missing active desktop HTML files. The change works fine, you have to
click on the dialog box that tells me to click OK to turn off active desktop.
Incidently, any other setting changes to the display will yeild the same
error.

Steve if you are still having trouble - email me - I have componentized all
of the little valley drivers and could share - but the files are large.

I still get this mysterious active desktop error..... hmm....

I do not get that error - I could share my entire .slx if you want?

Hi Martin,

I'm new to XP-Embedded. Just got D201GLY2 and tried to bring it up on a thumb drive. Not too successful thus far.

Would you be kind enough to share the .slx with me???

Thanks!!!
