I am trying to understand alghoritm of setup for simple kernel driver
(Interrupt, Port I/O, Memory Access) in W2K. I made drivers for Windows NT
five years ago - usualy I prepared key in Registry in
HKLM/…/…/Services/KDriver and it was enough. Unfortunetly, now I need
setup some identic dirvers and make it in W2K. I thought about use Enum
key. But I don’t understand alghoritm of setup (inf?, co-installer?, class
installer?). Can somebody explain what needs make?
Thanks in advance,
Andrei Souvalsky
No short answers for such a question. It is covered in around 150 pages in
MSDN Library or Walter Oney’s book.

A couple of things here:
- You do not mess with the Enum key, that is owned by the OS.
- Is your driver Plug and Play? If it isn’t then you NT install may
work, but to be a good citizen you should upgrade the driver to PnP if it
isn’t.

I read MSDN and don’t understand what I have to make firstly, secondly and
etc. No idea. I have enough experience, was MCSE/MCSD but only I was not
MVP. I am not understanding logic of kernel driver setup. I need idea of
this setup. 150 pages in MSDN Library is redundancy of information.
Thanks in advance,

Don,
- How I can setup some identic cards for one driver without using Enum key?
- No, it’s simple driver which work with some identic cards and use
according to one interrupt, group ports I/O, memory access for each card.
Windows NT setup works only one card, I want use some cards for this
driver. So I think use Enum key from driver for device creating for each
card.
Thanks in advance,
Andrei Souvalsky

I’m not sure if this covers what you need to know or not, but here’s a
web-page with simplistic explanation of .INF’s.
http://www.wd-3.com/archive/InfFiles.htm
P.S. I don’t know much about .INF’s, so no use asking me questions. I just
thought the page may come in handy at some point…

Then write a PnP driver, and use a LogConfig section in your INF. This will
allow you to make choices for the cards resources, an example of this is the
serial port. Again, you do not fiddle the Enum key, the plug and play
manager is the omly owner of this, messing with this can produce an ustable
system!

Don,
I will try to use your advice. It’s seems is good idea - PnP driver.

Mats,
Web-page are interested, especially name “INF Files for Bears of Lttle
Brain” :).
Thank you, it was intresting.
