Installer for driver without hardware

NTDEV
1

Hi,

We have developed a PCI driver which is a hardware simulator
i.e. driver without hardware. At present we are installing this
driver from Device Manager.

We need to develope a installer for this Simulator.

We used UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices function for installing driver with hardware.

Please share ideas , Which functions we can use for installing driver without hardware?

Thanks & Regards,
Raphel

Look at the devcon example in the WDK, it has full source that you can use (do not ship devcon.exe though). You can use the implementation of devcon install to create a root enumerated device and install your driver on it.
