Driver component

[Guest]

I am having trouble with a new driver component I am trying to create. I
have been successfull creating driver components in the past but cannot get
this new one to work. Here is what I have done:

- Imported the driver's INF file into Component Designer
- Created a package object
- Created a repository object, including setting the source path to where my
driver files exist
- Added the package I created to each component in the SLD
- Saved the SLD
- Imported the SLD into the Database and checked "copy repository files to
repository"

When I go into target designer and add one of the new components I get "Can
not find the resource STAC97.sys for Sigmatel C-Major Audio in the following
search path............"

If I look in the repository for the package, the file is there. The search
path above does not include the directory for the repository for my new
component. I believe this is the same way I successfully created components
in the past. Is there something wrong with what I am doing?

TIA

DK

Hi DK,
Please zip your SLD and send it to me, i'll take a look and see if there's
anything obvious.

To prove that TD can 'see' the repository folder, open DB Manager, click the
'Repository' tab and verify you see two things:
- The expected Name of your repository as it appears in the Repository
object in the SLD
- The associated 'Location' to that named rep object in DBMGR points to the
\\server\share\{guid} that you say contains the driver files TD can't
locate.

If in doubt, send me a screen shot (small jpg please) of the DBMGR list of
repositories along with your SLD so i can help you.

Send it to WECRT at MICROSOFT.COM.

Look forward to hearing from you at that alias.
Thanks

DK,

This may not be the cause but still... I missed the step where you associated the repository with all and each of the components it
was created for. (package is not repository)

Andy and KM,

I was missing the step to associate the repository with all the components.
Once I did that, it now works. Thanks both so much for your help!
