Quetion about driver component

[Victor Lai]

Hi,
I have a Video capture driver cannot be auto detected during installation
(the windows XP can not auto detect the driver and I need to install the
driver from the hardware list->sound, video and game controller-> choose the
file-> install the driver... to make the driver work.

I create a driver component from the it, but the XPE image after FBA cannot
load the driver automatically. I need to do it manually again by reinstall
the component in device manager. (But this time is faster since everything
the driver needs is in the image already).

Is there anyway I can force the windows to load this driver in FBA process
instead of reinstalling again manually?

thanks,

Victor

Hi Victor,

If you have video capture card installed. Valid driver files in their
directories, PNP will do the job for you. FBA is not required to do that.

If your driver is purely software in nature, without hardware.
One solution that I use is to populate registry directly from component. So
driver will be installed by default, before FBA begin executing.

I have a Video capture driver cannot be auto detected during installation
(the windows XP can not auto detect the driver and I need to install the
driver from the hardware list->sound, video and game controller-> choose the
file-> install the driver... to make the driver work.

If you have hardware then you either missing some PNP components, or your
inf file is not well written.
