Problem with importing .inf file

[Guest]

I am using the component designer to create a network driver component. I
got the .inf off my dell drivers/utilities disk. it is a standard intel
ethernet driver i am trying to create a component for.

I get the following in my log file:

Inforocessing file : C:\DELL\drivers\R78727\WinXP\E100B325.INF
Info:C:\DELL\drivers\R78727\WinXP\E100B325.INF: type PNP device INF
Warning:C:\DELL\drivers\R78727\WinXP\E100B325.INF: [Intel] is missing.
Info:Completed processing file [Import succeeded] :
C:\DELL\drivers\R78727\WinXP\E100B325.INF


and although it says the import was successful, the component in the .sld
file doesn't have any stuff. Any thoughts?

hanleyh1,

IIRC, there is a known bug in the INF importer that is used by CD - it does not understand some INF sections.

You have the following choices to work around the issue:

- Just copy the INF and all other driver files directly to appropriate windows directories (\windows\inf, \windows\system32,
\windows\system32\drivers) and PnP will do the job at rn time. PnP INF parser does not have this bug.
You can copy all the files through your own component.

- Do a custom INF import

And see if this issue is similar to yours:
