DIFxCmd not installing samples

OSR_Community_User · October 13, 2010, 12:29pm

I must be missing something basic here.

I reboot a VM running XP-32. It has the latest DDK installed.
I use the start menu to open a cmd window with x86 free build environment.
I build the command-line tool as specified by the html instructions:
C:\WinDDK\6001.18001\src\setup\DIFxAPI\DIFxCmd>build -cZ
…
I build a sample:
C:\WinDDK\6001.18001\src\network\ndis\ndisprot>build -ceZ
…
I collect the pieces together:
Directory of C:\tmp

10/11/2010 09:05 AM 2,752 ndisprot.inf
10/11/2010 08:39 AM 21,888 ndisprot.sys

6. I run the sample, it fails:

7. I add

DriverPackageType = Networks
as required by the DriverPackageInstall Function, see

(you'd think MS would have updated their .inf files)
and run again:

[error 13 is ERROR_INVALID_DATA]

8. I repeat the process with passthru.sys with the same results: fails with 0xE000020B then 0xD after adding DriverPackageType.

9. So quite clearly I am missing something simple. Google does not show other people complaining about this. Does anyone have a clue as to where I am going wrong?

Try

DriverPackageType=Network

There is no ‘s’ on the end.

Good Luck,

Sharp eye! But that was a typo in the post; just checked my .inf files and they’re singular.

David_R_Cattley · October 13, 2010, 6:41pm

DriverPackageType=Network packages require you to provide a non-null data
the AppInfo (AppId, DisplayName, ProductName, MfgName).

Use AppDrv instead.

Fabulously well documented, I know. Just wait to you get to trying to
update your NetService…

Good Luck,
Dave Cattley

Great! I just needed to add the DRIVER_PACKAGE_LEGACY_MODE flag. Thanks for your help.
