> Hi people,

I’m trying made filter driver installation program, but I’m not
found any API to install a filter driver just a device driver
(UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices - needs hardware id and in a filter
driver we don’t have one).

Any suggestion will be helpful.

Thanks in advance

You could adapter the FILTJECT.DLL that’s part of the sample set for my
WDM book to do this. A reboot is required in Win98/Me. You can avoid the
reboot in 2K/XP by disabling and re-enabling the devnode. The DEVCON
sample in the DDK shows how to do that, and much else besides.
