I few year ago I build a filter driver based on the example code in this link:
That works great and as expected.
I received a bug saying that in the device manager, if you click on the Driver / Details tab for our driver then click on the filter driver, you get Unknown for Provider / File Version / Copyright.
I have been looking at the filter drivers in the MicroSoft sample code for a fix.
I am hoping you have a fix.
The only difference in the INF file from your sample code is the Class / ClassGUID / Section.
The rest looks a lot like your sample code.
I am noticing something today while researching the problem.
The Provider = %Name% line of the INF file is not updated.
When I look in Window Driver Sample Main,
at the compiled INF file for filter driver, I see the same problem.
I have tried hard coding the Provider and tried getting a CoInstaller to work.
No luck so far.
When I right click on the INF file I get an Unknown Provider message box.
I don’t know what you mean by “not updated”. The %Name% marker just means that the value will be looked up in the [Strings] section of the INF.
Now, once the pieces of an INF have been cached in the registry, they are often not updated during an upgrade. Perhaps you should try uninstalling (with file delete) and try again.
