Hello all,

I'm trying to componentize a driver by importing the .INF file. Along with
this I create a repository for the driver files, and from what I can see
when I look inside the repository root directory with Explorer, the files
are indeed imported into the repository. But then when I try to add the
component in Target Designer, it complains and says it can't find the files
that the component specifies. Can anyone shed some light?

Did you miss any of the following steps?

1. Import the INF to create the component(s)
2. Create a repository and specify it's source path pointing to the driver
files.
3. Associate the component(s) to the new repository
4. Make sure all of the files implied by the component(s) is contained
within the source file dir (#2 above).
5. Save the SLD and import (the import should studder slightly as it copies
files - imports of non-file containing components goes QUICKLY).

If you did, and found that *all* of the necessary files made it to the newly
created repository directory, you may need to check permissions/etc. to
ensure that you're allowed to copy files (which is what Target Designer is
going to try to do).
 
I have done ALL of these things, as can be inferred by the fact that I look
in the repository root and can find the directory containing the driver
files. The issue is that when I add the component to an image in Target
Designer, it complains that it couldn't find the files.

Did you double check your permissions to be able to copy files from there?
 
I'm a little fuzzy here - what permissions would allow files to be copied
into a directory, but not out of it?
