CreateFile problems

NTDEV

Hi!

as a begginner (…), i have a problem to load the (simple) driver i’ve
created.

the CreateFile call (for a handle to the created device) return with error
code 1 - incorrect function.

can anyone tell me what’s wrong with the driver/device?

thanks in advance!

You cannot call CreateFile on the driver until you have loaded the driver.
If WDM, then this generally is the case, or the driver has a load problem
that you need to fix. You might also not be using the proper symbolic link
or your driver didn’t export a symbolic link.

Is the driver loading? Is it exporting a symbolic link?

Hi,

Check for source code at www.sysinternals.com how to load driver if it’s
not listen in the HKLM\System\CCL\Services and check SDK help for what
CreateFile() can open. Hope this will help.

yes the driver was loaded, and the symbolic link was also OK.
the problem seems to be with the create() function.

What does your IRP_MJ_CREATE dispatch do?
