How can I add a binary device driver in Platform Builder for Windows CE 6.0?

I need to add a device driver to a Windows CE image, I have the driver in .dll and .reg files and in a .cab package. I'm using Visual Studio 2005 with Platform Builder for Windows CE 6.0.

How can I do that?

If you an OSDesign and you want to add the Dll to the image that the OSDesign creates, just put the Dll file in the %WinceRootDir%\Platform<yourPlatformName>\Files directory. If you do this, the file will be copied automatically to the release directory when you do a build. As for the registry, just add the relevant changes to the Porject.reg file and it will be integrated into the whole build. When you add a stream interface driver you need to add it's registry settings undet [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\BuiltIn\Drivers<NameOfYourDrvier>]. You can read here (An excellent Blog- Link) (I can't post another link so search msdn for the bus enumerator) the necessary registry settings for a stream interface driver.

I have to say that the difficulties for new users with the posting restrictions are a real pain in the...

Hope this helps,
