Hi,

i am working with a WDM driver for a Texas Instruments USB chip for which i
have the sources.

when installing the driver on XP Pro, everything works just fine.
with XP embedded, i get the error message:
The required section was not found in the inf.

Can anyone tell me what this means, or how we can solve it? i always thought
that XP Pro and embedded were the same (from software pov anyway).

kind regards,
Bruno.
 
Hi Bruno,

How do you try to install driver?
Who wrote this message?
Check setupapi.log as well.

Hello,
How do you try to install driver?
Click to expand...
i plug in the device. the 'add new hardware' dialog appears. i click 'next'
and select the driver inf file. this is the same file as i use on XP pro.
Who wrote this message?
Click to expand...
the message appears on the dialog of the windows hardware installer. it
gives no extra information.
Check setupapi.log as well.
Click to expand...
where is that file? i cannot find it on the system. can i enable logging
somewhere?

kind regards,
Bruno.
 
Hi Bruno,

I must say that since this is working on XP pro it is strange error.
Please attach this inf file in this NG.
Also check from notepad if this file included some other inf files not in your image.

C:\windows\setupapi.log it is enabled by default.

Best regards,
Slobodan
 
Hello Bruno,

Please try to make a component of your driver with the component designer.
You can import the .INF file and look at the import log file to see if there
is a problem into the .INF file.
After putting the component into the component database you can insert the
component into your image.. Build the image and test it..

I think you missed a couple of components or files in your image to handle
the .INF file correctly.

Regards,
