WinPE Problem with parallel port
Hello communitiy,
I have a problem with the parallel port on my WinPE. I read the manual “Using BurnInTest on a system with no Operating System WinPE 3.0 and WinPE 4.0“ and do the step by step instructions, everything’s works perfect, only the parallel port would not be recognized by the BurnInTest Software.
Is it possible that it is a problem, because I have only the 30-days trail version for testing how it works?
I use the Devcon utility from the Windows Driver Kit 7.1 because I read its works better by using Windows7, the utility from the link in the manual I tried it first but also don’t work.
At first I used it like the description in the manual. Don’t work. Then I tried to but the drivers directly in the WinPE Image with the DISM /Add-Drivers command. Don’t work. Now I attempt to start and install the port and drivers manually. But the software doesn’t recognize the port. If I start Windows on the same PC from HDD the port will be detected.
The Devcon install command failed but one more port I see in the roots\ports directory, see the file.
Have somebody any idea what’s the problem is?
Best regards
