Hi,

I have created a component for genport.sys however after FBA the device is
not listed in device manager. I am assuming that the reason why is because
it has not been installed. What can I add to my component so that the driver
is isstalled dring FBA is it a simple matter of adding in the right registry
entries?

Hi,

How did you create component for genport.sys? Is it by importing .inf file
or manually created component?
 
I imported the .inf file but discovered that after machine had finished FBA
I could not install the driver in the same way that i had done when it was
running XP Pro.

Just for anyone who is intersted i have resolved this issue by searching
through the registery for references to the driver which in my case was
portio and added the branches to the component via component designer. I
dont know if the ones in HKLM\SYSTEM\ControlSet01 were required or not but
got added anyway.

Now when FBA is finished the device appears in Device manager AND it works.
