Hi all
I use ATI Radeon 9200SE on my XP embedded device.
I import the .ini to my component database and build OS image.
It can boot and change screen resolution well.
But when I see the detail VGA driver informations,doesn't show the correct
informations. It seems like the system doesn't know the VGA card.
I try to install the driver on XPE,but show the error message as follows:
------------------------
Severe
setup was unable to complete the installation.Try to setup your display adapter
with a standard VGA driver before running setup.
------------------------

But I can install the driver on W2K.
May I lose something????

Regards
Malvem

Hi Malvem,

I guess that you have:
1. Imported inf file in CD.
2. Used Database Manager to add component to database.
3. Added component in your project in TD.

If you have done all this.
Then you should check logs created during FBA.
fba.log
setupapi.log
They will show you the reason for installation failure. Most common mistake
could be that you have forgot to copy some file in certain folder, some
drivers require even hlp files that are not copied by TD default during the
image build phase.

BTW: Although similar you should always test drivers on Window XP not on
W2K.

Regards,
Slobodan

I do the normal step to import a new driver.
Just when Component DB Manager copy the driver sources to repository,it can't
copy the files of sub-forder.So I try to copy all fils at the same folder,and
change some .dl_ to .dll.That works fine.But the driver information doesn't
show correct info. The system use "vga.sys" driver. It's not the correct one.

Hi Malven,

..dl_ are usually compressed.
Use command "expand" from command line on these files.

Also in repository all files must be in same folder. But in CD you will
assign path for each file.

Malvem,

A repository is a flat structure (directory) so you can't create subfolders in it.
However, it shouldn't be a problem when you componentize a driver as all the driver files are likely to be targeted in windows
specific directories (windows\system32, windows\system32\drivers, etc.).
What subfolders do you mean?

Malvem,

Reading you message again I just realized: are you setting up a component to copy the driver installer files?
Then it may not be a good idea. You will definitely cut the unnecessary steps if you install the driver package on your XP Pro
machine and then grab all the driver files in to your component.
Or manually expand all the .dl_ file and put them under appropriate window directories. No subfolders.

I try expanding all .dl_ files and import to CD again.
It's useless. The situation is the same as usual.
So I change another VGA card-- Nvidia Geforce2 GTS.
I do the same steps again,still fail.
But I install drivers on XPE,there's no error message.
Actually,the driver version still shows "unavailable".
I think I miss some critical component. Am I right??

Best Regards,
Malvem
