Hi !

I do not understand something about usb.

I build an XPe image, i'd like minimal footprint size, so I did not include
usb third drivers.
Now, when the user plug an usb key for example, the system detects this
device and ask for the driver .... correct because I did not include it
before.
But the manufacturer of this device do not provide the driver because it is
normally include in WinXP.

How can I do ?
I cannot know the future plugins devices and I don't want to install all
drivers because I have not enough disk space ...

Is it possible to add an XPe usb driver after the runtime build process ?

thanks
Mike
 
Hi,

If you include all drivers for "all USB" things, you will notice that they all share same binary files. So only change is to
registry.

Component "USB Mass Storage Device" is enough for all USB disks.

The best approach for you is to include generic components for USB support and optionally make component that will only copy inf
files to inf folder.

Read this thread it explains all you will need on this subject:
