Hi,
The format of registry entry LocationInformation under:
HKLM/System/CCS/Enum/PCI/<ven_xxx.>
on XP used to be:
PCI bus 0, device 31, function 5
But on Vista this format seems to have changed to look like:
@system32\drivers\pci.sys,#65536;PCI bus %1, device %2, function %3;(x,y,z)"
Is it possible to retain/see the old format?
Who creates these Enum subkeys under PCI for every PCI device? Is it
created by the System automatically when a device registers an interface?
Regds,
-Praveen</ven_xxx.>
You need to use the SetupAPI API
(SetupDiGetDeviceRegistryProperty(SPDRP_LOCATION_INFORMATION)) to
retrieve the string. The API will give you the format (what you are see
is a string which points to a localized resource)

Looks like some apps have been written which looks for string in the old
format.
The app needs to be changed. So if there is a way to get the old format,
then app need not be changed.

The apps are not using the correct APIs to get the information in the
first place otherwise they would just work on Vista (and one of the big
requests was to have localized strings in device manager on a per user
basis).
