Hi, all:

I want install ndis\passthru sample by app, so I use devcon.exe command:

devcon install netsf.inf ms_passthru

to install the passthru dirver. But it failed to execute
UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices function and return error code
0xE000020B(ERROR_NO_SUCH_DEVINST). How could I do?

Thanks for your help.

Try using the DDK BindView sample application instead of DevCon.

Good luck,

Anders,

The WIN2K DDK has a sample named SNETCFG (NETCFG). This was a command line
utility which demonstrated how to install a network component.

To quote the NETCFG.HTM file from that sample:

RUNNING THE SAMPLE

Type ?snetcfg -?? at a command-line prompt to view supported options. The
?-v? option enables verbose output along with other options.

Some of the supported options are:

-q: query for presence of a component

-i: install a component

-u: uninstall a component

To install the Passthru driver, type snetcfg -l d:\sample\netsf.inf -c s -i
ms_passthru. To uninstall, type snetcfg -u ms_passthru

As you can see, the sample author also had installing PASSTHRU from a
command line as a goal.

Good Luck,

There is a bug in the SNETCFG sample - and probably in the BindView sample as well. It will install NDIS IM drivers “sometimes”. To make it work reliably for NDIS IM drivers you need to add a second call to SetupCopyOEMInf to copy the miniport INF.

Here are some comments extracted from my NDIS IM installer code:

// The problem is that the snetcfg uses SetupCopyOEMInf to copy the NetService
// INF into the INF directory and it doesn’t copy the miniport INF. Because we
// thought the system would do so by following the CopyINF directive. This is
// not true.
//
// The “CopyINF” directive, by design, is only observed if the original INF is
// not yet in the INF directory. So to work around the problem, you have to
// update your installation app (snetcfg) to also copy the Net class (miniport)
// inf using SetupCopyOEMInf when it comes to installing IM drivers. Make sure
// you specify a fully qualified path of the INF in the SetupCopyOEMInf.

Good luck,

Thanks for Thomas and David. I have modified bindview and made it work for
me.
Thank you very much.
