Hi, I built a XP embedded image and installed HP DeskJet 5500 printer
driver. It's fail to install this driver. Then I download another HP
printer driver -- HP DeskJet 840C,but it's still fail to install. It
doesn't seem to install any kind of HP DeskJet printer. Could you tell
me which component I must add into XP embedded image? Thanks

If I understand correctly you are trying to install a driver after FBA? You
can try two things where the second one is preferred:
1. Find the windows installer component(s) (I don't exactly know what you
need there, because of my bias to the next point) and add them to your
configuration. When looking for Installer you will find at least the Windows
Installer Service component and the WMI Command Line Utility. don't know
what else is needed though.
2. Make a component out of your driver and add it to your configuration.
This way your runtime stays as small as possible (you don't need the windows
installer) and driver gets installed during FBA.

Good Luck,
Hans

ps. You can find an article on msdn.microsoft.com which explains what to do
to make a component out of a driver.
