Problem installing passthru driver in XP embedded

Hi,

I made some modifications to the passthru sample driver in WinDDK and
componentized it using the Import functionality in Component Designer.
Everything went well and I was able to import the driver into Component
Database. I was also able to add it into my target and build a target image.
However, the driver was not installed when my XP embedded target boots up.
And I have no way of manually installing the drivers since I was not able to
access the Network Connections setting in Control Panel. Appreciate if
someone can show me how to get this done.

Thanks.

This is easy,
You can use snetsfg.exe to install your network protocol driver from FBA, or
from command line.

For parameters type snetcfg /?.

If you need more help just ask.

Thank you so much. This is just the utility I need.

Since this is an intermediate driver, it comes with 2 INF files. The
protocol-end of the INF installed fine, but when I tried to install the
miniport-end, it gave me an error code of 0x800f0203. When I was testing out
this driver on a WindowsXP machine (not embedded), I used the wizard to
Install Service. It was smart enough to pick up the two INF files and do
whatever was needed to install them. Is there something similar in XP
embedded that allows me to do it?

Once again, thanks so much for your help.

I don't know what wizard are you referring to.

but try sc.exe, devcon.exe it should be enough for all usages.

Hi Slobodan,

I looked inside the DDK sample source directory and found the instructions
for installing passthru driver using snetcfg; EXACTLY what I needed! It
appears that the protocol-end INF file will pull in the miniport-end INF
file automatically, as specified inside the protocol-end INF.

Thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction. You've been a
really great help!
