Error in Installation

NTDEV
1

I am trying to install a Volume Filter using devcon. The operation failed with the error “The installation failed because a function driver was not specified for the device instance” when i check the setupapi.log file during the installation for my Service. All the other functions passed fine.

I ran ChkInf for my .inf file and it reported no error. I am totally confused as to what the problem is. Little help with this issue is appreciated.

What, exactly, was your “devcon” command line?

devcon install efe_volumefilter.inf efe_volumefilter

I looked up another sample from OSR called wdffltr which was using WdfPreDeviceInstall etc for installing the filter in that sample. The documentation says that these operations are basically used for non-pnp driver installations.

Anyways i used those functions and created an app to install the Volume filter. It installs everything but on few machines i see blue screen saying INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE and when i debug it i cannot even see the driver entry for my driver called as if my driver was not able to load and thus the whole device stack got screwed up.

Now i am back to square one. Any help would be really appreciated if you can shed some light on this.

I would start by checking this message out:

Add Service: Failed to get configuration of service “efe_volumefilter”. Error 2: The system cannot find the file specified.

Good luck,

From the looks of it I can only see that it is considering efe_volumefilter as a device and thus searching for a function driver for this device which it cannot find.

Now the question which has always bothered me and i have not able to find an answer anywhere is what to provide a hardware ID for a Volume Filter.

Of course it is. I started a reply to tell you that when you mentioned
you were using “devcon install”, but your own reply implied that you had
figured this out on your own and had written your own application
instead. Thus, I was surprised to see you post the API log.

So, I’ll make it clear: you can’t do this with a PNP INF. You might
possibly be able to do it with a [Default.Install] INF, but the right
way (especially with KMDF) is to write an install app.

Now the question which has always bothered me and i have not able to find an answer anywhere is what to provide a hardware ID for a Volume Filter.

It is awkward. That’s why the USUAL mechanism is to make yourself a
class upper filter for disk volumes, then just make yourself do nothing
for volumes you don’t want to filter.

Thanks Tim.

By the way i was thinking about this. DriverPackageInstall function from DifxAPI tells you that by putting DriverPackageType=ClassFilter in your PNP INF will install you class filter but it does not seems to be the case. Secondly WdfPreDeviceInstall from the documentation is basically used for Non-PNP device installs. I am just confused with the documentation because regarding the class filters it is almost totally vague and confusing.
