Easy question, but frustrating to search on the Internet: How to set our .sys file's

Hello,

So, we've created our Authenticode signed driver deployment package, and everything looks and works great, but... I noticed that when I did a right mouse, properties on our xxxxxdriver.sys file, it shows the incorrect information for the following fields:

File version: 6.1.7600.16385 (should be 1.0.0000.0)
Product name: Windows (R) Win7 DDK driver (should be our product's name)
Copyright: (C) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved. (should be our copyright)

I noticed that other vendor's .sys files have their information, so it must be possible
to set it. Is there a way for us to correct these fields for our .sys file? Our .inx
file has the following information in [VERSION]

Provider=Our Company Name
Version=02/03/2011,1.0.0000.0

Thanks you for your help!

Mike

Thanks, Bruce, for the lead! :slight_smile:

Thanks, Mark, for the great ideas! This is my first Windows driver deployment and I was stumped about where to change this info!

Have a great day, guys, and thanks again!

You don’t need to repro all of the contents in common.ver and ntvertp.h in your own RC file, you can easily do something like this which uses all of the contents from those files as provided by the kit (from src\input\mouclass), obviously you would change the VER_ #defines…

#include <verrsrc.h>

#include <ntverp.h>

#define VER_FILETYPE VFT_DRV
#define VER_FILESUBTYPE VFT2_DRV_SYSTEM
#define VER_FILEDESCRIPTION_STR “Mouse Class Driver”
#define VER_INTERNALNAME_STR “mouclass.sys”
#define VER_ORIGINALFILENAME_STR “mouclass.sys”

#include “common.ver”

#include “moulog.rc”
