Hi,
We have an unsigned legacy NT driver. The problem we have is updating the
driver (from the Device Manager->Properties->Driver tab). On Win2K if you
point the ‘Upgrade Device Driver Wizard’ at the new .inf file it defaults to
using the old .inf in the INF folder so the update fails. I think this is to
do with a date of 00/00/0000 being assigned to an unsigned driver on Win2K
according to the DDK documentation. So far I have discovered that if you
copy the new .inf file into the INF folder then the update works. The only
other alternative seems to be to manually remove the existing relatant inf
and pnf files from the INF folder before attempting the update. I have tried
using the COPYFLG_NOPRUNE and COPYFLG_NOVERSIONCHECK flags with the
CopyFiles entry in the inf file but with no success.
Does anyone have a neat solution for overcoming this problem?
Thanks in advance,
Mike.
