PnP Problem

[David Gu]

I've built up new XPE image and test now.

H/W PnP function doesn't work properly.

1)
First of all, the driers of VGA, sound, LAN card are included in XPE
image as components. But after FBA, XPE image can't these drivers
automatically.
(the driver components have no problem. they worked properly in other
XPE images.)

2)
So, I tried to detect these dirver with Hardware Update Wizard.
Selecting 'advanced' and selecting 'search for the best driver in
these location' and checking 'include these location in the
search:'and filling the correct driver location.
Although these good procedure, the driver setup failed.

3)
this time, I burned the drivers on the CD, and try checked 'search
removable media' in the Hardware Update Wizard.
Finally, VGA and LAN drivers are installed successfully, but sound
driver is not yet.

4)
At the end,
on the Hardware Update Wizard,
selecting 'don't search, I will choose the driver to install',
AUDIO driver is also installed successfully.

What's the problem with PnP function on my new XPE image?
Now I'm all anxiety. -.-; help~!

Hi David,

Please examine setupapi.log and/or send it here so we might take a look at it.

David,

Since you are talking about PnP drivers, use simpler procedure. Just copy the all driver files directly at run time to approprite
windows directories (\windows\inf, \windows\system32\drivers, \windows\system32) and reboot.
If the drivers do not get installed properly, check out \windows\SetupApi.log for the drivers' related errors.

Also, you can use devcon utility (if you don't have Device Manager in your image) to install the drivers.


Make sure all the driver dependencies are in the image (you can use DependencyWalker).
