Adding driver to XP embedded

[Fabian Zintgraf]

Hello,
i have one little problem with my network driver.
I built a component with the component-designer
by ímporting the driver-inf-file.
The PnP resource and service were added by the designer.
I added the compnent to the target-designer, i built the image,
but the driver isn't installed, although the files are on the disk.
There is no network driver in the device manager.

I know the FBA has to install the driver and add it to the registry,
but in the log file, you can't see anything.

How can i get the FBA to install my driver?
Did I forget something?
Are there missing any special things in the component?

Hi, Fabian!

Well, normally you have to have in your build a *.sys file, an *.inf and
a *.cat files copied to the system32\drivers windows\inf and
windows\i386 folders. Together with pnp data and other stuff that CD
imported from Inf file this usually enough.

Check your FBA log in the runtime for errors related to your device's
Ven/Dev ID. Get the log from .\windows\fba\fbalog.txt
