RE: Turn off mouse pointer when no mouse is plugged in

Hi There,
I am looking for help with my touch screen driver. I am trying to use the
touchscreen driver from Gunze, the zip files include inf, sys and exe files.
I followed the method described by Microsoft on how to create a custom
component. The component is getting built by target designer. The ufd.inf and
ufd.sys are included in the C:/windows directory. FBA runs fine, setupai.log
tells that the driver had been installed properly and the device did not
start for some unknown reason.
My question is should I see the Gunze driver on the Add/Remove programs list
? . If I install it manually, I see the application on the Add/Remove program
list. How come my application is not on the list ?.
Whats the normal procedure to add a third party component to XPE ?.
Thanks in advance,
SC

Background:.
My company builds an XPE product with a touch screen for pointer input & so
we usually don't want a mouse pointer displayed. Even though our product is
not fielded with a mouse I still wanted the capability to plug in a mouse
for testing, development, etc. So I searched the internet for a registry
setting or a utility that would hide the mouse pointer when no mouse was
plugged in and cause it to reappear once a mouse is plugged in.
Unfortunately I didn't find a utility that did this. So I built my own.
How my program works:
My program compiles to 6Kb (as long as you link to DLL runtime library and
you use the following linker option: /OPT:NOWIN98). My program also relies
on a free third party application that I found on the internet called
'nomousy.exe' (13Kb) which allows you to hide the mouse cursor. My program
determines when a USB mouse is plugged in or not and then calls 'nomousy.exe'
to hide or show the mouse cursor. Note that my program only recognizes when
a USB mouse is plugged in (although you could easily fix this). This is
because we don't have PS/2 connector on our device.
So if anyone now or in the future has a need for such a utility I have
provided the source code to my program below:
