created component doesnt showup in target designer.

[nETTIE!]

Hi guys, I'm new and I'm looking for some help if possible..

I have a problem adding an intel netowork driver, I open the component
designer, I import the inf file I found in the drivers package, I
delete the devices I dont need (it's a very long unified drivers
list), I create the repository adding the driver files, I create the
package and I save everything. I close all the application, I open the
component database manager and I import the sld file.

Now, I can see the componet under the repository tab, in the package
tab the package doesnt contains anything and when I run TD I cannot
find it in the list of avaialble components.

I'm really stucked. If you might have an idea I really would like to
have a feedback.

Thanks a lot in advance for your time.

Best,

nettie

Take a look at this tip article to make sure that you have correctly
componentized your driver.

Also make sure that in Component Designer you add a Group Membership in your
component to the package you created

Hope this helps,

If you right-click on the component in component designer,
are 'set to latest revision' or 'update component' listed?
If they are, click on them. That should sort you out.

Glad that helped you, anyway.
