I was installing my driver using the following script command.
rundll32.exe setupapi,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 .\Mydrv.inf
Now, the product is about to ship and they ned to integrate the same with
Install shield 10.5
My driver is:-
-
a FS upper filter
-
Starts at boot time.
-
Needs a reboot after installation
-
Attaches to all FSs supported by 2K/XP
-
Needs to install properly on 2k, XP, 2K3
These are my questions:
-
IF I manually copy the drivers settings from
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services and dump the driver into
%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\Drivers would it be enough?
-
What is the advantage of using the abovr mentioned command over manual
installation?
-
Using the above command, on XP I am prompted for a reboot, which is
necessary, however in 2K it doesn’t appear. why so? And how do I enable it?

For pre-FltMgr FS filter - yes.

Hi,
Well the advantage is the optimization of the installation,.

Since you already have an INF for your driver (and I assume an uninstall
section too), just create a Custom Action to essentially invoke the same
command-line you have used in the past. Have another Custom Action to
invoke your uninstall. The driver and .inf should be installed with the
appliation before invoking the CA. You should be able to (optionally)
delete the files after they have been copied to the appropriate system
directories.
Checkout installsite.org or the Installshield community forum for more
details on how to do this.
