Newbie question

[Guest]

Hi
I'm building some images for my hardware; an embedded system used only for
running an application for making music. I tried some images, based on
settopbox or kiosk and they work well but I have some question:
1) I have a pci audio card that is not supported by microsoft but I have the
driver; problem is that drivers are on .exe format: how can I include it to
my configuration? I know that I can import onlt .inf files so how to extract
it from the .exe? If it is difficult, what component I must include in my
image for have the standard control panel with the PnP support for the new
device and the possibility to see the "system" tab and "hardware management"
for manually add my PCI card?
2) I must install my image in a Disk on module so I need to set the EWF for
avoid OS to write on it: I include all EWF component to my images but I don't
know where, when and how to configure the EWF for doing this. Any help?
Thank you very much

1. A typical method is to install XP pro on the target system and then
install all the drivers. All the drivers that are delivered as .EXE can get
installed and extracted. The \Windows\inf\OEM#.INFs will be the updates to
collect and turn into components. The alternative is to install the driver
post FBA.

2. EWF and FBWF have settings page in Target Designer that you should setup
before you build the image.

if I haven't got the possibility to wiev the system setting? What's the
component I need to install with targer designer for doing this?
I installed all EWF components but When I open the setting There's nothing I
can do with it, there's non setting page at all...what's the right procedure?
Thank you

1. Windows Installer Service component
2. Enhanced Write Filter - click on the settings and you don't see a setup
page with EWF start, disk volumes, etc.?
