Not a valid W32 application

[Philipp Stampfl]

Hi there!

I have an embedded single board comupter with an S3 twister VGA LCD
controller on it. I have tried to create an component from the inf file, I
added it to the databaser and the image. The dependency check works fine but
when I built the image, I get 14 errors, all with file in this driver
component that "could not be found".
When I try to manually install the driver with the setup.exe, I get the
error message "not a valid W32 application".

I do also have a touch screen connected on my device, where I only have .cab
files as driver. I do not know how to get a component out of a .cab file.

Does anybody have an idea how i can get my drivers work?

Regards,

Phil

I forgot to write, that the setup.exe works with winXP prof. I just crashes
with winXPEmbedded.

Thanks for your help!

Include Dos Windows on Windows support and it should work.

Thanks for your help!

Have you got your repository set up correctly?

Usually that means you need the DOS Windows on Windows
component.

Hi Jesse!

Thanks for the tip, but I can not find the "dos windows on windows"
component. I created a filter for the strings "dos" and "windows" and there
is just no component listed that you described.

Please help!

Hey Phil

The visibilty of the dos windows on dos is 100 or 200. You
must set you too 100 to see all the components. Default
is the visibility 1000. Go to tools --> options. Then go
the advanced tab. Set you visibility too 100.

good luck

Thanks JB!

I have added the component and I can not start the driver setup. However the
setup fails and again the drivers are not installed. I have looked at ma
device.pmq file. I have the "S3 Twister" in there but it seems as if the
image doesn't have the driver. When I try to manually add the driver via
"add/remove hardware" the system detects the driver and suddenly quits with
the error message "the required section was not found in the INF" but the
driver works fine with XP pro!

Does anybody have an idea how I cen get my in XP pro working drivers to an
XPe image? Creating an component failed because the image built prompts 14
errors in missing files in the driver component.

Thanks for your help!

http://www.xpefiles.com/a_folder.cfm?

Did you see my message about repositories? If you're getting file not found
errors when building, you've probably not set up the repositories in your
component correctly.

Thank to all!

I got the driver from the website and could finally install it! Thanks
again!
