Installing/Running KMDF drivers

NTDEV

Dear all

I have written the smallest KMDF driver that prints the good old hello world using DbgPrint. Two questions.

  1. I would like to install/run this driver without using an inf file.
  2. Under the older driver model the CreateService API was used to run a driver. Under KMDF the same program fails. Does anyone have any code that would install/run a KMDF program in user mode. OsrLoader from osronline successfully registers the service but fails to start it.

Thank you for the help.

Hi,

Because you’re not a PnP driver you’ll need to manually call the KMDF
coinstaller before and after you create your service. See the nonpnp sample
in the KMDF kit and also this article:
