Nvidia drivers...

First off let me say that I am a novice on XPe builds. I started working on
an XPe image for a small retail terminal a week or so ago. I have an image
built, trimmed some of the fat out of it and all is working great with one
exception.

I have componentized all the drivers for the machine and all work fine.
When I try to componentize Nvidia's latest detonator drivers (52.16), I am
having a few issues. Reading past posts, I have:

1. Trimmed down Nvidia's inf file.
2. Did a Full import from an extracted .EXE file.

In both cases I get the following after the XPe image is booted. FBA does
not install the drivers and on first boot I get "The driver selected for
this device does not support Windows XP." If I update drivers and specify
the directory path to my repository for this item, it installs just fine
through the wizard.

I know this drum has been beaten before, but any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Trimming inf is not an easy task (you must remove ALL unnecessary things).
If you can't remove all control panel and other user support components,
then other solution is to make image that will resolve all dependencies that
original NVIDIA inf file (dll) have.

Since we are using minlogon without explorer, control panel, etc. I had too
make modifications so only files that remained are actual driver/minidriver
pair (nv4_mini.sys, nv4_disp.dll) and custom inf file that set up some other
values specific to our product.

BTW:
In my case FBA has nothing with instalation of driver. It's all done by PnP.

Thanks for your response Slobodan, I appreciate it very much. I will
continue my efforts on the subject. I am just suprised that nobody has
uploaded a working component to www.xpefiles.com.

Thanks again!

I have modified inf file beyond recognition, and have added some private
keys.
So this would not be useful for most of you, and for few other reasons as
well.

But I think that I have attached old inf file few months ago as a response
to some question in this NG. I don't know if you can access it, and it was
for older drivers.
