couldn't load installer for driver

Hello,

In XPe I'm trying to install a driver for an ethernet card. I've loaded the
..inf and .sys files into a component. After the FBA the .inf file is
confirmed to be in the c:\windows\inf directory and the .sys file is
confirmed to be in the system32\drivers directory on the target system.

I went into the device manager, selected that ethernet controller and tried
to install the driver. The message that came back was:

"Windows could not load the installer..."

The Add Hardware Wizard didn't work either.

Is there another component that I need to include that does driver
installation? Any ideas?

Thanks,

Art R.

Click to expand...
Did you import the .inf file into CD? It adds additional information,
and that should mean the device is installed during FBA
 
Did you add the inf and sys files simply as files in the component or
did you import the inf into Component Designer?
