Hello All,
I was able to install the NDIS intermediate driver by
clicking the Network property->Install->Add->Service.
But I need our setup program to install this driver
automatically without the user the interaction. I was
looking into the the SetupAPI but no clue. I believe I
can call the UpdateDriverforPlugandPlayDevices with
the inf file if I am installing real NIC hardware with
the PCI ID. But for this virtual NDIS intermediate
driver, how can I deal with it?
A bunch of thanks!
William
See the BindView sample program in the DDK. It’s in the
\src\network\config\bindview directory. There’s a function called
HrInstallNetComponent (I think.) It does a SetupCopyOEMInf first to copy
your inf and drivers to the right place and then uses the INetCfg interface
to do the rest of the work. Keep in mind for an NDIS IM driver you need to
perform SetupCopyOEMInf twice (once for each of the two interface
definitions).
This worked for me.

Try INetCfg interface and friends.

Is there any document on this INetCfg COM
interface(s)?
I tried to search the DDK and platform SDK but I did
not find anything.
The sample in bindview looks like not working on the
driver upgrade. The workaround is to uninstall and
install again. But I did find there are some
parameters
in the Install method of INetCfgSetupClass interface
that might relate to the upgrade. But I just don’t
know what shall I fill without the document.
Thanks in advance!
William
