Adding drivers to already built CE 6.0 image

Is this possible? I am using a CE image from a manufacturer that won't release a custom image with an extra driver I need.

Give me some good news!

It depends. You need to have permanent registry and storage. If you have, then you can configure registry entries to load your driver (at boot or when is detected by USB, SD, PCI etc.) and store it on the device. In some cases drivers are loaded from the image before any storage is mounted and this may prevent you from being able to load your driver at boot (or having your device detected if it's plugged in at boot).

Yes, there is a possibility that you can add your driver over an existing image. You just need to place your driver dll(s) in the required folder (generally Windows folder) in your device where you want it to be and make some registry entries for it. If you already have a .reg file for the driver then you just need to import it on your device. You can also make a CAB file to avoid the manual work.
