Device Driver Install Problem ( Docket Port 667 Scanner )

[Kyle Blake]

Error: The required section was not found in the INF
( final result at very end of device driver install process )

The actual "install" program finishes successfully. However plug the device
in and the above happens.

The manufacture doesn't support XPe, however they confirm others on the
internet have gotten this 667 scanner to work on XpE.

I've read up on matching the GUID, I've read up on ctrl5it and cross -
comparing registry before and after but it's a bit greek.

I'm not sure how to actually handle this...
How do I verify guid's match?
How do I verify the files are being copied to the right path?
Any idea on what the error code means?


Thanks!

Are you just installing the driver or are you creating a component?

If installing a driver on a system running XPe-
Do you know if the XPe image has scanner support?


If creating a component-
It might have a custom section. Open the INF file and look for a
manufacturing section. The import parser can be set to search in custom
sections.
Are kscpature.inf and ks.inf in the same directory as the INF you are
importing for this scanner?

I get the feeling this isn't as easy as finding the msi and installing the
package. IT appears you need to buy this $900 Xp Embedded DVD which will
update your binaries etc and can be used for installing FROM SCRATCH.

Then you need to re-image your whole machine to include the drivers? I
figure component installer would be in the DVD somewhere, no can't locate.

What the heck? I just want to to package and fix the docketport scanner
drivers. If i could only for the love of god find the the simple install for
this program. Hah hah... Anyone have a link? Why is it sooo hidden?

Closest I found was WES2009Eval.
