Hi,
-
I’ve heard about some requirement for windows 8, that all drivers (or kernel service) should be installed using inf file, i.e. we should no longer user CreateService/StartService. Can anyone confirm this requirement?
-
I took a sample inf file from ddk (simrep) and created an installation package. Everything works by the book with one exception: the service does not start. Setupapi log does not contain any errors. I have tried all available auto start types, but none of them start the service during the installation. After reboot the driver starts. I am using “rundll32 setupapi.dll,InstallHinf DefaultInstall 132 c:\install\mydrv.inf”. Has anyone encountered such problem?
Thanks,
Anatoly.
