Hi all,
I have a suite of WDM drivers that I’d like to install using an .msi file, and am looking into using DPInst so that I could eventually use DPFxApp to create the necessary MSI file (if there is a better way to package a bunch of virtual/filter/export drivers into an .msi file please let me know!). The problem is, I cannot for the life of me get DPInst to recognize even a single one of my drivers. I looked at the previous discussions on this topic (specifically this one: http://www.osronline.com/showThread.cfm?link=141800) but didn’t get anywhere. My googling resulted in nothing as well. So, as a last resort, I came here 
I’m testing the installer on Windows XP SP 3 (I’ve also tested in Windows 7). The driver I’m trying to install is an export driver. My directory (C:\test) contains dpinst.exe, dpinst.xml, hashmap.inf, hashmap.sys. The driver is unsigned.
dpinst.xml is as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
Device Driver Updater
Welcome to the Device Installer!
This wizard will walk you through…
Installing software!
Done!
hashmap.inf is as follows:
[Version]
Signature = “$Windows NT$”
Class = MyClass
ClassGUID = {821907d4-08e5-4421-ba9b-aa88cf8fb313}
Provider = %Provider%
; CatalogFile = hashmap.cat ; It’s unsigned!
DriverVer = 03/14/2011,1.0.0.0
DriverPackageType = KernelModule
DriverPackageDisplayName = %Description%
[SourceDisksFiles]
hashmap.sys = 1
[SourceDisksNames]
1 = %DiskInst%,
[DefaultInstall]
CopyFiles = hashmap.DriverFiles
[DefaultUninstall]
DelFiles = hashmap.DriverFiles
[DestinationDirs]
DefaultDestDir = 12
[hashmap.DriverFiles]
hashmap.sys
[Strings]
Provider = “My Company”
DiskInst = “Hashmap Export Driver Installation Disk”
Description = “Hashmap Export Driver”
ChkInf gives the following errors/warnings, all of which I believe are OK:
Errors:
Line 1: (E22.1.1081) Directive: CatalogFile required (and must not be blank) in section [Version] for WHQL digital signature.
Warnings:
Line 0: (W22.1.2212) No Copyright information found.
Line 3: (W22.1.2215) Class MyClass (ClassGUID {821907d4-08e5-4421-ba9b-aa88cf8fb313}) is unrecognized.
Line 3: (W22.1.2203) Custom defined Classes should have a [ClassInstall32] section.
Line 8: (W22.1.2202) Unrecognized directive: DriverPackageType
Line 9: (W22.1.2202) Unrecognized directive: DriverPackageDisplayName
And the error I get upon running “C:\test\dpinst.exe /lm /c /q” is:
INFO: Current working directory: ‘C:\test’
INFO: Running on path ‘C:\test’
INFO: User UI Language is 0x409.

INFO: RETURN: DriverPackageGetPathW (0xE0000302)
INFO: ENTER: DriverPackageInstallW
INFO: RETURN: DriverPackageInstallW (0x1)
INFO: Returning with code 0x80010000
Doing the normal right-click->install of hashmap.inf installs the driver successfully.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
