Missing webcam drivers

Good morning,

I was hoping for some insight into how to apply webcam drivers into the build.  From my research, I haven't been able to find a generic or universal webcam driver to upload into the build. 

Does the builder incorporate any drivers for these devices?  Here's what I've tested without success:

Tried installing from device manager by browsing to location of webcam driver on local C: - wouldn't install because driver was unsigned or was successful but a reboot is needed.
Used DISM to export webcam drivers and upload into driver integration then rebuilt WinPE - says driver install was successful during build but device manager still shows driver as missing.
Downloaded driver for Windows 8.1 x86/x64 from manufacturer website, uploaded into driver integration for appropriate architecture build and rebuilt - same as last line, driver still missing.

Is there something I'm missing?  Thanks in advance for the help!

Try running the driver installer from within PE, see if that works..

I have tried to install the drivers from within PE through device manager.  Is there another location I should try to install the drivers from within PE?

Thanks.

sometimes drivers pre request other drivers operational......
 on your case maybe gpu driver ! maybe something else.....
  let us know if you figure out.

GPU driver installed and I was able to install the driver within PE but it calls for a reboot.

While in PE after cam driver installed - close reboot request - try HwPNP - Install Drivers (HwPnp) shortcut
have to add HwPnP plugin and create shortcuts

Often cam is connected with internal usb. Look into native Windows with devicemanager. Switch to view by connection. Follow the complete chain from chipset(ACPI)-system, over pci-bus, usb-controller to cam. You need for all devices of this chain the drivers. In HwPnp the option +a (or +all). Eventually a "+hardwareID" from one of the chained devices, for example, a shortened ID of cam. Example:

Code: [Select]

My cam hardwareID: USB\VID_05C8&PID_030E&MI_00      (<--if you gogle with this hardwareID: "FH13FF-238" and "FUJITSU")

In HWpnp Plugin => +USB\VID_05C8&PID_030E

Besides Windows system needs additional dll('s) - to build dataconnection to cam. And for resizing of image frames. Maybe DirectShow filter(s).
If for successful cam operation DirectShow filters are needed on your PC - the free-for-private-use program 'filmerit' would help you.
The several drivers can be extracted with DD - structured folders.
If you figured out, whitch filter is missing in your PESE and you haven't any idea how to add this - I will help you with Registry export and  dll name(s).

This was unsuccessful.  I manually installed the drivers and ran HwPNP but device manager shows a white circle with a blue question mark.  Device properties says device is working properly but I can't seem to find a site or program that says or shows it's installed.

Do you know of a light program that can test this type of hardware?  I've been going to a few sites and even tried Skype portable but haven't had any luck.

Chain is complete except camera.  USB Root Hub --> USB Composite Device --> Integrated Camera

Sorry, I don't follow your instructions with HwPNP +a statement.  Also, I've downloaded and ran filmerit but not quite sure what I'm looking at.  Several drivers can be extracted with DD - structured folders?  DirectShow Filters show many missing filers under the subtree.

Hi Justin,
let us develop a cam plugin or a "simple" cam support together 
Actually, my cam isn't working on Win10PESE too. 
I will post every single step in text & picture. I often edit my text, change attachments - and so on...
Downloads:
- VIDCAP(.exe) 5.1
- AMCap Webcam Capture 9.22 (x64 & x32) Free

I'm at work and I first must come home...
Maybe after a few days we record first successes.

This message was sent with an Android Mobile.

Win10PESE: Not working USB cam in device manager:

  vidcap32.exe (105kB) ==>

Properties | device status  of FH13FF-238:
The digital signature required for this device driver can not be checked. A survey conducted recently change to hardware or software may be a file has been installed, the wrong sign or damaged. It is possible that even by malicious software an unknown source. (Code 52)

Originally, sti_ci.dll + bthci.dll were missing in X:\Windows\System32 ==> copied to PE from installed Windows: Symbols change from <unknown> to <specific>.

As temporarely workarround [x64]:
This code to a new Plugin Script: .\Projects\Win10(8.1)PESE\Drivers\WebCamSupport.Script

Next: Check devices + codecs in installed Windows. And I will see, if VIDCAP + cam works:

The chain to my cam in device manager:

Open device manager; let it still opend;
Now additional start Double Driver (dd.exe, 1715 kB) - in Win10PE we have a Plugin - I don't know, whether Win8.1PE has it too.
Hit 'Backup' => 'Scan Current System' Select 'None'.
Now, click the checkboxes of desired devices: This is a little bit tricky! - you could loose track

For example: In device manager the 'USB Composite Device':
- Look in properties of 'USB Composite Device' the details for driver files; ==> usbccgc.sys
- Do a search on C:\Windows\inf with expression 'usbccgc.sys' in file content;
- Output of search is usb.inf
- Open usb.inf with editor and look in section

Code: [Select]

[SourceDisksFiles]
usbccgp.sys=3426

-- bingo, this is it.
Switch to Double Driver and hit once 'Name' at top left to sort drivernames alphabetical.

Some devices have the same *.inf


In Double Driver push 'Backup Now' - adjust your destination - and in Output choose 'Stuctured folder (default)'


You may close now all programs - exept the Explorer:
Got to DoubleDriver backup folder .\COMPUTERNAME 24.02.2016 11-06-19;
- Do a search on that folder with expression 'restore.ini' ==> delete all occurences (~10 pcs.);
- Do a second search on that folder with expression 'oem' ==> if you find any, read out the real name in file content:

Then in Builder:
- Enable Components\HwPnP - if it isn't already.
- Enable Drivers\Driver Integration: Checkmark 'LoadDrivers at startup' and 'Allow to install Unsigned Drivers'
- Drivers\Driver Integration: Point FileBox 'x64 Drivers' to .\Workbench\Common\Drivers_x64\


The machine.inf:
The machine.inf of Source-DVD (with extracted WIM-folders) could differ from that one, you have in your installed Windows.

Run a complete Build - and do a comparison between this both.

Hi Gerhard S.,

%WindowsDir% depricated on all plugins, and in future on all projects.

Use

Call,HostSystemDir on your plugin

ex:

Code: [Select]

Call,HostSystemDir
If,Not,ExitFile,%Target_Sys%\sti_ci.dll,Call,FileCopyMUI,%HostSystemDir%,sti_ci.dll,%Target_Sys%
If,Not,ExitFile,%Target_Sys%\bthci.dlll,Call,FileCopyMUI,%HostSystemDir%,bthci.dll,%Target_Sys%

Hi Lancelot,

Code: [Select]

Call,HostSystemDir
...%HostSystemDir%...

instead of %WindowsDir%\System32 - allright.

But is the new macro Script already available? For whitch PESE systems? (and for Gena?  )
Must I only download new (renew) the Macro_Library.script ?

They are already available on Macro Library plugins, already exists, on ALL projects (SE and Gena).

Beautify the device manager:

Code: [Select]

Call,HostSystemDir
If,Not,ExistFile,%Target_Sys%\sti_ci.dll,Call,FileCopyMUI,%HostSystemDir%,sti_ci.dll,%Target_Sys%
If,Not,ExistFile,%Target_Sys%\bthci.dll,Call,FileCopyMUI,%HostSystemDir%,bthci.dll,%Target_Sys%
If,Not,ExistFile,%Target_Sys%\McxDriv.dll,Call,FileCopyMUI,%HostSystemDir%,McxDriv.dll,%Target_Sys%
If,Not,ExistFile,%Target_Sys%\mdminst.dll,Call,FileCopyMUI,%HostSystemDir%,mdminst.dll,%Target_Sys%
If,Not,ExistFile,%Target_Sys%\ntprint.dll,Call,FileCopyMUI,%HostSystemDir%,ntprint.dll,%Target_Sys%

Thanks guys!  The work you do with these PE environments is awesome.

Gerhard/Lancelot, please let me know if there is anything I can test for you.  I'm not an expert but if you need someone testing a new build, I think I can be of some help if needed.  Just a quick question, do you think once a plugin or script is created that it will work across multiple hardware types or will a build be needed for most makes/models?  I do a lot of testing from many different manufactures with different cam hardware.

usbvideo.sys belongs to 'USB Video Class  Driver'; and is a unit in Win source DVD. This 'UVC driver' queries the (hardware)cam directly; UVC-capable cam needs no own driver. There are still cam's with own driver. These 2 methods have advantages & disadvantages; at this moment I can't recommend any.
Maybe it will turn out: For PESE, we need cam with own driver - and we have no choice ('USB Video Class  Driver' not possible in PE).

New topic: Add USB Video Class Driver to PE x64 (usbvideo is not a driver for a physical device)
Checked: USB Video Class Driver is included in Win 10 Pro source-DVD. (should be in Win 8.1 too)
Web-Link: USB Video Class Driver Overview

@JustinE
Pls go with explorer to extracted install-WIM-folder of your 8.1 source-DVD;
Usually: .\sources\install_wim\
Do a search with expression 'usbvideo.sys' on \install_wim\;
You may get 2 usbvideo.sys.mui- and 2 usbvideo.sys search results.
Now I ask you for the name of your folder in .\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\, whitch contains the usbvideo.sys
( For me this means folder: usbvideo.inf_amd64_fe8d886bc5539514 )

Sorry, no idea how to attach a snipit in this forum.  Anyways, install.wim is not extracted in 8.1 source.  Extracted to local:
usbvideo.inf_amd64_853a149025406013 - \install\Windows\System32\DriverStore
amd64_usbvideo.inf_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.17217_none_1f08e8338e4f59c - \install\Windows
amd64_usbvideo.inf.resources_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.16384_en-us_a4ee3d66ab0db4e4 - \install\Windows

On one of testing laptops running 8.1 as local OS, driver details:
ksthunk.sys - \Windows\System32\drivers
usbvideo.sys - \Windows\System32\drivers

Please let me know if this is the correct information you were looking for....and how to insert or paste snipit in a post!!  Duh!  Thanks.
