Componentization is always tricky so my next set of screen casts will take a look at how Component Designer can automatically create a driver component for you. This first video uses a sound card driver as an example and walks through how to resolve some of the common issues that you may encounter when componentizing drivers.

Hi Lynda
Thanks for the tutorial.
I followed your instructions but when I check dependencies in Target Designer. I get a warning saying 'cannot find file resource paths...' and then followed by more warnings saying it can't find the files for the driver.
what have I missed?
Carl,
As with any component that you create you need to associate it with a repository that contains the actual files for the application or driver. See this article for more details componentization in general(look for info on crating a repository object)-

Dear Lynda,
Thank you so much a very good presentation.
I am also facing the same problem with sigmatel audio drivers. I got error for 3 INF files (ks.inf, wdmaudio.inf, layout.inf). When I followed the above mentioned procedure 2 errors got resolved
(ks.inf, wdmaudio.inf). But still I am getting the error with layout.inf error. All the files are in the same directory. Could please help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sharath.
You might want to post your question in the forum (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/category/embeddedwindows/) and search the newsgroup (http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.windowsxp.embedded)- there are plenty of posts dealing with drivers
Thank you so much for the information.

i'm really unfamiliar with drivers, not to mention componazing a driver.
