Installing inf through FBA

[Roberto Hofer]

Hi NG,

I am wondering about the correct way of installing an .inf file
through FBA. After importing the information file (in my case
Ramdisk.inf) into Component Designer everything looks fine. It creates
Registry settings, inserts a "Service Data" Resource and a PNPID (819
in this case).

But it seems as if this would not be enough, because after deploying
the image there is no Ramdisk. Looking at
"HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services" reveals, that there is an
Ramdisk entry, so FBA did definitely do something to register this
service, but it seems as if it did something wrong, because adding the
same driver through the "Add Hardware" control panel works perfectly.

Any clues or suggestions?

Best regards and thanks in advance!

Hi Roberto,

Since this is pure software driver PnP can't enumerate and install it.
Look in registry at enum brach and copy ramdisk related information's from there to TD.
