How get cat file for upper class driver (Inf2cat failed)

Mark_Shnaider · October 2, 2013, 3:44pm

Hello ,
I developed filter class driver for SmartCardReader and this driver works properly on X86 platform.
(In this case install program set need registry and copy driver system32\drivers directory)
For X64 platform I need use for installation inf and cat files;
The same inf file I use on XP and installation works OK.(right click on inf file)
The my inf file has the same structure as WInDDK sample :
…\src\setup\DIFxPkgs\x86\ClsFilt\ClassAFilterDriver.inf

But I cannot get .cat file from my inf file or from ClassAFilterDriver.inf for all platform (X86 and X64)and get same error.
For example:
Inf2Cat /driver: c:\MyPath /os:XP_86 /verbose
Return :
…
Finished parsing INFs
Finished processing INFs
Testing driver package …
…
Signability test failed.
Errors:
No installation INF found in the root path of the driver.

May be I have problem in understanding and ask to help me to solve this problem.
How was produced …\src\setup\DIFxPkgs\x86\ClsFilt \classfilter.cat

My inf file:

[Version]
Signature = “$WINDOWS NT$”
Provider = %AR%
;CatalogFile = ClassFilter.cat
DriverPackageType = ClassFilter

[DefaultInstall.NT]
CopyFiles = ClassFilterInstall.CopyFiles
Addreg = Classfilter.AddReg

[ClassFilterInstall.CopyFiles]
ArScFilter.sys

[Classfilter.AddReg]
HKLM, System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class{50DD5230-BA8A-11D1-BF5D-0000F805F530}, UpperFilters, 0x00010008, ArScFilter

[DefaultInstall.NT.Services]
AddService = ArScFilter,arx_ClassFilterUpperService

[arx_ClassFilterUpperService]
DisplayName = arx_ClassUpperFilterService
ServiceType = 1
StartType = 3
ErrorControl = 1
ServiceBinary = %12%\ArScFilter.sys

[DestinationDirs]
DefaultDestDir = 12

[SourceDisksNames]
1=%Disk1%,

[SourceDisksFiles]
ArScFilter.sys = 1

[Strings]
Disk1 = “The First Disk”
AR = “ARX Ltd.”

Thanks in advance
Best Regards
Mark

The diagnostic says:

“No installation INF found in the root path of the driver.”

Is there an INF file located in the same directory as your driver?

You cannot have the CatalogFile line commented out if you plan to make a
CAT file.

This works for me:

inf2cat /driver:objchk_wnet_amd64\amd64\ /os:Vista_x64

The /driver parameter is used to specify the DIRECTORY containing the
INF, not the name of the INF file itself. A single CAT file can cover
multiple INF files and multiple drivers.
