Cross Platform/OS INF issues

NTDEV
1

Do the cross platform and different OS extensions, to be used with Model(s) section name(s) work properly?

I have an INF file using such extensions for XP and Win7/Vista installation. (32 & 64 bit)

During installation, error is seen that ’ Could not find the file specified’. The folder used for installation contains the INF file and Win7 driver .sys file.

When XP driver file is also included in this folder, then the installation proceeds.

This shouldn’t have happened as there are different sections decorated by the applicable extensions.

I found similar issue reported earlier:
http://www.osronline.com/showThread.cfm?link=129794#top

(I wanted to post my query there itself, but as it’s a aged link, posting has been disabled there.)

Anyways, my INF file is mostly the same as the one mentioned at this link.

I also saw the setupapi.dev log file. It was seen that during installation, it required XP and Vista driver sys files.

Is there a solution for this?

Thanks,
Rakesh.

you might want to post your inf file as I can’t really see it from here.

I am posting the INF file, but I have removed and/or modified certain details from the INF.

  • AFAIK, Win7 is 6.1, not 6.0 (therefore XP version is used)

  • Does your driver really need to be different for XP / Vista / Win7?
    (We here can do with one driver binary for all OS versions.)

Also check setupapi*.log files (post excerpts) for what actually is
installed on Win7.

From DDK documentation on INF Manufacturer section:

Setup's selection of which Models section to use is based on the following rules:

-If the INF contains INF Models sections for several major or minor operating system version numbers, Setup uses the section with the highest version numbers that are not higher than the operating system version on which the installation is taking place.
-If the INF Models sections that match the operating system version also include product type and/or product suite decorations, Setup selects the section that most closely matches the running OS.

So, the extension specified need not be exact, since the closest is chosen. In my case, 6.0 is used as same driver is targeted for Vista and Win7. But different for XP.

Also, I am posting the setupapi.dev log (with some changes in names):

[DDK documentation on INF Manufacturer section quote]

Fine. But please consider that *our* INF file works, and yours does not.

I’d humbly suggest to try these changes:

DriverVer = 08/11/2010, 1.0.0.0
(get rid of ERROR message in setupapi log)

; CatalogFile =
(don’t specify it, if you don’t have one)

[my_models.NTx86.6.0]
%DESC_STR% = install_section.NTx86.6.0, (hw-id)
(note the added qualifier for Vista+ ^)

[install_section.NTx86.6.0]
(note the added qualifier for Vista+)

[install_section.NTx86.6.0.Services]
(note the added qualifier for Vista+)

[install_section.Service.NTx86.6.0]
(note the added qualifier for Vista+)

[install_section.copyfiles.NTx86.6.0]
(note the added qualifier for Vista+)

I have already tried that change, of using added qualifier for Vista. It wasn’t working.
