I'm having a problem installing a USB video cam (InstantMPX). I installed the
drivers using its setup.exe program. The Add Hardware Wizard should
successfully install the device when i plug it in but i get the Cannot
install hardware error.

Anyone have any suggestions?
 
Tim,

Did you try to componentize the driver, and then add it to your build in
TD?
 
Tim,

You would need to give us more info on the error. Please look into \windows\setupapi.log file right after the installation failed
(you can clean up the file before the install to get less entries there).

Also, make sure you got "Windows Image Acquisition Core", "DirectShow Video For Windows / WDM", "USB Root Hub" and "Class Install
Library - Image Device" components in your image.

In general it is better practice to componentize the driver than having them installed at runtime.
 
Thanks for you help. I realized Direct X 9 was needed along with Media Player
9. I installed them and it worked fine. I just added these components to my
component database after installing Q811279 and i get 65 errors when
building. It says files are missing and adds a number in front of the missing
filename like such.

Error 1005: File not found: "825119_itircl.dll"

Any ideas?
 
Tim,

Is this on SP1 or SP2?
You don't need Q811279 with SP2 but only with SP1

If you are with SP2, the latest DirectX and WMP are in the database.

If you are with SP1..
When you installed the DirectX and WMP QFEs, did you check the log? Were there any errors?
Verify that those files appeared under your \Windows Embedded Data\Repositories folder (GUID-like subfolder).
