Install third-party drivers in XPe

[Guest]

I am new on XPe. I am trying to make a XPe image for my motherboard P4-ITX
Mini_ITX from VIA. When XP pro was installed, it recognizes all the hardware
devices except the build-in Audio and Video boards, which can be install
using drivers software included in the pakage.

But TAP program can not detect these 2 devices. So I run the Component
Designer and try to import the INF files. I cannot find the INF files in the
hard drive. So I can only import those files from the driver CD-ROM. It
went well and I can also import them into the Component Database and then
import them into the Target Designer. But when I built the image, it
generated errors that said the driver files cannot be found. Of course, the
runtime image still cannot have the drivers installed.

Could somebody help me on this? Thanks.

Hi Long,

I am new on XPe

First two useful links:
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=...F-8&group=microsoft.public.windowsxp.embedded
www.xpefiles.com

This question is asked on almost weekly basis in some of the variation on the same subject.
Anyhow regarding your problem.
1. When you made component in CD you had to specify repository that will hold files. This is important.
2. You need to import this component in database.
3. You should use component from database in Target Designer.

Make sure that repository is valid and that files are copied to it.

Best regards,
Slobodan
