Portable Windows 7 build from Winpe 3.0

Has anyone tried using their webcam within the WINPE environment? I am trying to use a generic USB camera with the embedded Windows drivers. I have managed to get device manager to see the device as an "Imaging Device" like it should but no programs I use can actually use the webcam. I'm at a loss.

I'll have to check my registry settings in a few min. I have a meeting. I know I added all of the "sti.dll" and "stil_ci.dll" files as device manager was not seeing it as an imaging device before. I'll get back to you guys in a little while. Thanks for the quick reply.

I do have the registry entry in my registry. Should there be a subkey for the actual camera? I am going to pull that key out of a working Windows installation to see if that works. The programs I am using still can't see the camera.

can you install the camera successfully?

Yes, I installed the camera successfully using DISM to an offline copy of the system. I used the generic driver files I pulled out of %systemroot%\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository. I used the "usbvideo" files. These installed fine.

Then in device manager it wasn't showing up as an "Imaging Device" so I found out I needed the sti.dll and sti_ci.dll files. I copied all of these over and it fixed that issue. I have also tried copying all files I can find regarding "msvideo" and also all registry files I can find that relate to "usbvideo". Still doesn't work.

i asked about can you install your camera after you boot to winpe? there are so many parameters. need to investigate.

Yes this worked. I uninstalled the device via device manager and then scanned for hardware changes. I was able to automatically install the drivers as I had also preloaded them into the PE image. Should I try manually installing the drivers? This didn't fix the webcam though. It's still not working.

If I actually remove the driver when I unistall the camera, when I go to re-install using the same driver I see the message "The parameter is incorrect".

Hey Kullenen_Ask,

Any ideas I can try on this? I'm totally stumped. This is the last portion of a test image i'm creating and I just can't get it to work no matter how many things I try. Please help if you can.

My first 8 rtm winpe. It was better than to manage by compared to previous beta builds. explorer and metro not works as expected. Approximately 400mb in size with all adk packages (.net,powershell..etc.). Not profilled and optimized. My one hour work. Maybe i will work on it when i bored.
