Missing Serial.Vxd When Adding Generic Driver SUpport Macro

Posted: 10-07-2005, 11:16 PM
Hey Guys -

I've added Generic Device Driver support macro, but every time I build it is
looking for Serial.vxd. The only post I have found relating to this issue is
that its not by default part of the XPE repository. However, if I enable
this component I get a serial.vxd build error (missing file. If I disable
this component I build fine. Any suggestions?

Regards,
Mark

This is called out in the release notes, I copied it below for you.
Basically you can ignore this error, there is a bug in the XP-Pro INF that
describes the [copyfiles] section for a handful of GPS Adapter cards but
that file doesn't ship in Windows. So our build process naturally inheritied
this bug from the Pro INF when the components were created.

From the SP2 Rel Note:
"Some components reference Capi20.sys, Serial.vxd, and Dmicall.sys, which do
not exist in Windows XP Professional or Windows XP Embedded and errors can
be safely ignored."
