Antw: RE: KMDF Driver couldn't be loaded

NTDEV
1

Thanks for your help.

I’ve figured out, that the coinstaller doesn’t copy the WdfCoInstaller01000…dll to the system32 dir. The DLL isn’t even noticed in the setupapi.log. It seem as if the Coinstaller-section of my INF File is completely ignored.

Do I need more files than WdfCoInstaller01000.dll in my directory from which I want to install the driver?
Is it possible to install the DLL by hand?

The System is Windows XP SP2 (all updates) Free Build

Here’s the listing of my CoInstaller Section of my INF File

;-------------- WDF Coinstaller installation

[DestinationDirs]
CoInstaller_CopyFiles = 11

[SercosPCI.NT.CoInstallers]
AddReg=CoInstaller_AddReg
CopyFiles=CoInstaller_CopyFiles

[CoInstaller_CopyFiles]
WdfCoinstaller01000.dll

[SourceDisksFiles]
WdfCoinstaller01000.dll=1

[CoInstaller_AddReg]
HKR,CoInstallers32,0x00010000, “WdfCoinstaller01000.dll,WdfCoInstaller”

[SercosPCI.Wdf]
KmdfService = SercosPCI, SercosPCI_wdfsect
[SercosPCI_wdfsect]
KmdfLibraryVersion = 1.0

\windows\setupact.log will have KMDF logging as well. BTW, setupapi.log
is massively improved in Vista, logging was completely overhauled and is
now much more intelligible.

Are you including the KMDF co-installer stuff in your INF? What OS is
the install failing on?

You can check \Windows\SetupAPI.log for more info (though, I must say, I
almost never find the information in that file very helpful).

Have you run your INF against CHKINF?

Thanks for your help. But I’ve fixed the problem by myself.
It was an error in the INF file, so that the CoInstaller wasn’t executed.

If someone has similar problems loading a WDF KMDF driver (error code 39), then check your INF file with chkinf to see wether the coinstaller section is executed or not. In my case it wasn’t even referenced.
