Error importing an .inf file in Component Designer

[dcarr]

Since tap.exe didn't include a necessary driver in my .pmq file, I'm
trying to componentize a driver by importing the 82801 GR/GH SATA/AHCI
driver files from Intel's web site, using Compoent Designer. When
attempting to import the .inf file, the following error is
reported ..."an error occurred while getting the vendors list section
name.". I'm importing the .inf from a local directory. Has anyone run
into this error message before or know what it's complaining about?

Thanks.

You may have to do a custom parsing on the Import of the INF file.

1. Open the INF file, and look for a section called Manufacturer. Locate the
name of the manufacturer.
2. In Component Designer, start the Import of the INF, but select manual
parsing.
3. Use the name under the section as a Manufacturers section in the custom
parsing option for when you import the INF file.

Hi DCARR

Delete the 64-bit section out of the Intel drivers.
This may caouse some problem during import.

I compomized all the newest Intel drivers (Infupdate).
You can find the component on www.xpefiles.com
