Re: Component created from INF - missing files when building image



Jason,

Are you referring to this tutor?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/xpehelp/html/cdtskimportingdatafrominffileintosldfile.asp

Then it says nothing about how to import the result component in CDM.
Quite frankly I do NOT know why the heck all the tutorials from Component Designer Guide are missing Repository info. In my opinion,
it should be there.

Anyway, when you switch to CDM that is where you should read another Guide - Component Database manager guide.
Particular one you should be interested in now that relates to Repository -
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/xpehelp/html/dbconManagingRepositories.asp.

Also read about the Repository object to understand what you are dealing with:
