Re: Component design

Well, I think I finally figured this out. When I imported the driver, the
INF detailed 38 supported adapters. But even though I correctly created a
repository, I had to associate all 38 adapter components individually with
that repository.

This, ladies & gentlemen, is a pain in the ass. I can't believe there isn't
a function that associates the repository with ALL components at once.
Surely this is fixed in the FP2007 toolset?

I'm still struggling with getting a custom hardware component to work.
Here's what I did:

1. Installed XPpro and the XPe toolset on my target;
2. Installed the driver (video adapter);
3. Copied the relevant files to a separate folder;
4. Opened CD and imported the INF file;
5. Copied the SLD and driver files to a folder on my development machine;
6. Opened CD, loaded the SLD;
7. On the left pane in CD expanded the SLD to the "Repositories" line,
right-clicked, selected "Add repository";
8. Entered a repository name, went to the "source path" line and browsed
to
the folder containing the driver files;
9. Saved the SLD & closed CD;
10. Opened CDM and imported the SLD (CDM reported success);
11. Opened TD and added one of the components;
12. TD reports that it cannot find the component files in a list of
repositories, none of which has a GUID that CDM assigned to my new
repository.

Obviously I'm doing something wrong, but what? I thought followed the
procedure in

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/xpehelp/html/cdtskimportingdatafrominffileintosldfile.asp,
but clearly not.

Please help!
