Driver Injector

The Driver Injector tool allows you to find suitable drivers for your target device automatically. The tool can be a great help if you have previously extracted all driver with Driver Extractor and want to inject them again automatically. Or if you have a driver CD/DVD and want to inject all drivers automatically to the image without having to install every device manually. Driver Injector needs a Target Analyzer Output file which contains all the device information from the target device and a driver search path. Then the tool will find all matches and allows to inject them with one click.

The Keyboard Filter Driver allows you to block any unwanted key combination or even single keys. This is done by a kernel mode filter driver which filters out the key presses before they are processed by the system. Examples for unwanted key combinations on an embedded system are: Ctrl+Alt+Delete, Ctrl+Shift+Esc, Win+E, etc. All these key combinations can be filtered with this driver.
The driver is available for Windows Embedded Standard 7 only and ships can be installed easily with a single setup file.

Due to the ongoing popularity of Windows XP Professional as a robust and stable operating system, the inventory of product keys has been reduced to the point where it is necessary to add more keys in order to avoid impacting end users of Embedded Systems. These are the product keys that are printed on the Certificates of Authenticity (COAs) affixed to Embedded Systems preinstalled with Windows XP Professional for Embedded Systems.

To address the shortage of product keys, MS has released SP2c which expands the product key range to support distribution of Windows XP Professional for Embedded Systems through end of life which is currently planned for December 31, 2016.

Windows Server® 2008 without Hyper-V™ for Embedded Systems, in multiple editions, will be available on April 1, 2008.
