The file WdfCoInstaller01009.dll is in the same directory as the inf file and the filter driver.
Where am I going wrong?
Thanks

Your running the driver update wizard on the child HID device, as indicated by the hwid HID\VID_05FF&PID_002A\6&2858845A&0&0000 in the log. You want to update the parent device which has a usb hwid of USB\VID_05FF&PID_002A
I though that was exactly what I’d asked to update in the inf file? How do I change it to make it work?
PS This is my first ever driver attempt, so be gentle!
Thanks
David
A HID device is split into two: the parent device is the transport, the child device represents the HID TLC (IOW, HID as a protocol independent of transport). Change the device manager view to “By connection” and you will see the hierarchy. Better yet, just use devcon to update the driver on the parent device and skip the update driver wizard completely.
devcon update USB\VID_05FF&PID_002A
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/devtest/devcon-general-commands
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/devtest/devcon-update
Yes, but If I want to distribute the driver, I need to be able to install it using the inf file (ideally by r-clicking on the inf and selecting “Install”). Not sure why this inf file doesn’t allow that. So how can I change that inf to make it work.?
Devcon says:
C:\WinDDK\7600.16385.1\tools\devcon\i386>devcon driverfiles "USB\VID_05FF&PID_00
2A"
USB\VID_05FF&PID_002A\5&24F02AB7&0&1
Name: USB Input Device
Driver installed from C:\Windows\INF\input.inf [HID_Inst]. 3 file(s) used by
driver:
C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\hidusb.sys
C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\hidclass.sys
C:\Windows\system32\DRIVERS\hidparse.sys
1 matching device(s) found.
Right-click install is not used for hardware-based drivers. You either write a mini-installer, or you provide instructions on how to update via Device Manager.
So how do you install using Device Manager in this case?
Thanks
Update Driver wizard. You are asking lots of questions and jumping the gun a little bit. First, you should successfully install the INF. I suggested devcon update […] to use on the command line to validate your INF. What did setupapi.dev.log say when you tried to apply your INF to the USB\xxxx HWID? After you get the INF to install, you can worry about the official install process and signing the driver package.
See my first post for what setupapi had to say
I’m sorry that this wasn’t clear to me on the first time around - please remember this is all new to me, so the stuff the is obvious to you can often be missed by this bear of very little brain.

The setupapi.dev.log is a bit large and is here:
perdrix.co.uk/logs/setupapi.dev.log
Any help appreciated.
setupapi.dev.log tries to make it easy for you to find declarative errors in the INF, it encodes warning lines with a !, error lines with !!!. So,
dvi: {DIF_INSTALLDEVICE} 12:21:12.791
dvi: No class installer for 'Lecroy Touch Screen - V2'
dvi: CoInstaller 1: Enter 12:21:12.793
inf: Opened PNF: 'C:\Windows\INF\oem22.inf' ([strings])
!!! dvi: CoInstaller 1: failed(0xe0000101)!
!!! dvi: Error 0xe0000101: The required section was not found in the INF.
dvi: {DIF_INSTALLDEVICE - exit(0xe0000101)} 12:21:13.284
!!! ndv: Error(e0000101) installing device!
For reference, Coinstaller 1 is defined immediately before in the log
dvi: Using exported function 'WdfCoInstaller' in module 'C:\Windows\system32\WdfCoInstaller01009.dll'.
dvi: CoInstaller 1 == WdfCoInstaller01009.dll,WdfCoInstaller
You are missing the .Wdf section in your INF, read https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/wdf/installing-the-framework-s-co-installer#inf-file-sections-for-the-co-installer for what you need to add . If your min OS target includes the version of WDF you want to use, remove the coinstaller entirely. Later OS versions ignore the coinstaller since Windows stopped allowing the KMDF version to be updated outside of the main OS servicing.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/wdf/installation-components-for-kmdf-drivers
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/wdf/building-and-loading-a-kmdf-driver
Later OS versions ignore the coinstaller since Windows stopped allowing the KMDF version to be updated outside of the main OS servicing
How did I not know that? So… how does that work, if I have a driver that wants a later version of KMDF than what’s on the box?
Peter
It doesn’t load. That is why the guidance is now to use the lowest version of WDF based on the min OS version you require and the WDF version it ships.
So if I have understood your reply and have read the online docs correctly, Windows 7 systems will already have the WdfCoInstaller01009.dll supplied with the system, so I should remove ALL three co-installer stanzas from the .inf, and I should add the .Wdf section saying:
[Lectouch_Inst.NT.Wdf]
KmdfService = lectouch, LecTouch_Inst_wdfsect
[LecTouch_Inst_wdfsect]
KmdfLibraryVersion = $KMDFVERSION$
Is that right?
Thank you
David
Woohoo! As they say - it installed! Mostly working too!!!
Here’s the log file in case there’s anything I need to worry about…
