Hi all,
Does NT 4.0 not support the ImagePath parameter ? I am trying to load a SERVICE_SYSTEM_START driver from
a subdirectory of “Program Files” but I the driver doesn’t load and my DriverEntry is never called. I have tried
several different formats but none seem to work. I thought “C:\Programs Files\Subdir\mydrivername.sys” should work ?
In event viewer I get an error with Event ID code 7026. Is this number documented anywhere or is there a way for me
to find out where windows is trying to locate the file. I tried Boot log enable but no log file is created.
Does anybody have a hint for me ?

I don’t remember all the restrictions, but the biggest one is only 8.3
filenames and paths. That may be sufficient, but you might also need t=
o
move it to a subdir of %SYSTEMROOT%. I don’t thnk the second one is
necessary, but I’m sure the first one is.

is your driver located on fat partition? use 8.3 naming conventions.

It does not have to be a fat partition, but if it is system start driver it
has to be the same disk as system32, and if you are a boot load driver then
you have to be 8.3 compliant. At any rate I believe that "C:" anything for
a driver is all wrong, and instead you should be using something like
“\SystemRoot\System32\drivers\driver.sys” or
“%SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\driver.sys” or even
System32\DRIVERS\driver.sys. See KB article
Q175653, in which the fact that your use of “Program Files” as a path
element could be a problem. The ask yourself why, almost 10 years after
Microsoft started supporting long file names and spaces in file names, bits
and pieces of the operating system continue to not support their own file
naming conventions?
