how to make the PNP ROOT enumerate a software PDO for my driver?

I’m writing a virtual floppy driver on xp, and I want it friendly to use.
so I’m looking a way to make the software floppy PDO ( maybe a software
bus PDO ) enumerated by PNP ROOT or something else.
I find that some drivers such as DAEMON-TOOL’s, SWENUM and ramdisk sample
by MS are similar in their PDO enumeration: PNP ROOT enumerate PDO for
them.
ramdisk is simple enough, but it use ADD HARDWARE WIZARD to install. I
think it is steupAPI who serves this task, but I can’t find the details
about the installation.(I want to make the device installation more easy,
by my own app or setup program)
can anyone help me? a clue, a link of document or a piece of source code
may help a lot.
thanks.

Check out the install sample in the DDK (src\setup\install). This contains
all the necessary code to install a Root enumerated device (or a PNP one for
that matter). The code is fairly self explanatory if you find you need to
customize it.

Also, look at the devcon example which also can create root enumerated
devices.
