Hi,

I'm pretty new to XPe and have a (probably silly) question.

I need to add a driver to my XPe which consists of a .inf file and a .sys
file.
Despite reading serveral documents I've not found how to do it.

I tried to use CD but the .inf file could not be imported (Message: File
import failed due to unspecifiederror while processing file. After pressing
OK CD hangs)

Any help will be appreciated.

Regards,
Lothar
