How can I use DIFx API to install class filter driver like

OSR_Community_User · April 16, 2009, 11:05pm

Hi,

I have a class filter driver using a independent INF file like ClasFilt
sample INF file. How can I use DIFx API to install such driver?

Thanks
Wayne

OSR_Community_User · April 17, 2009, 8:47am

Can you be more specific? The class filter is a legacy driver so you need to
set the legacy flag. If this is a WDF driver you also need to add the WDF
section to the inf file and need to call the WDF coinstaller in your install
program.

My class filter driver inf file is based on ClasFilt sample inf file.
It’s a filter driver above on PCI bus. It’s WDM driver. I have tried to
install such filter driver as what have done for other function driver.
It can work for win2k3 but cannot for win2k8. It looks like that DIFx
API cannot execute AddService and AddRegister inf sector, just execute
DefaultInstall section. So I cannot find properly register keys in
HLKM\System\Services. Then my filter driver cannot work fine on win2k8.

Thanks

Hi Wayne. As far as I know, Difx api won’t work for this case. Look at the source code for DevCon and use it to write your own app to do this using the various SeupDi APIs.

OSR_Community_User · April 19, 2009, 12:16pm

Wayne,

The AddService and AddRegister sections should be part of the
DefaultInstall.
I just tried installing a class filter on 64 bit W2K8 using the DIFx API. It
worked. I used DriverPackageInstallW(infPath, DRIVER_PACKAGE_LEGACY_MODE,
NULL, &needReboot). The driver installed and the class registry entries were
made. I confirmed that the driver was loaded after a reboot by checking the
devices with Device Manager. My filter filters more than one class.

I don’t see any advantage using DIFx over the similar setup API function.
Using the InstallHinfSection setup API call specifying the default section
works just as well and doesn’t require the DIFxAPI dll.

The only thing that I see wrong in your inf is the Class and ClassGuid
should be a name and GUID that you make up. It should not be an existing
name and guid. This is not what is stopping your install.
I don’t have a cat file so my tests do not include one.

You should step back and try to install the class filter sample.

Have you tried installing it with DPInst.exe (which is also part of the DIFx
tool set)? DPInst and DIFxAPI use the same install engine underneath.
DPInst.exe also generates a log file (DPInst.log) and that might help
diagnose the problem. Once you solve the problem, you could go back to using
DIFxAPI.
