Alright, I’ll give it a shot. Thanks for the detailed explanation!

Subject: RE: [ntdev] Making sure the WDF framework is installed
Your original message asked about installing the KMDF framework. The sample
shows how to do this for a legacy type driver. A class filter is installed
like a legacy driver. The install sample in the ioctl sample shows how to do
this. Since your driver is a class filter you need to add the code that adds
the upper filter entry to the registry to this sample.
You can either use an inf to update the class section of the registry or
update it in your setup program. The choice is yours. Apparently you
currently do it in your setup program so just use the ioctl install sample
as a guide to how to install the framework.

Hi all,
Thanks for all the responses. Unfortunately, they have made me slightly
confused as they seem to go against the previous recommendations I received:
http://www.osronline.com/showthread.cfm?link=184915
What I’m currently doing is simply copying my filter drivers to the Drivers
folder and installing them using SCM. This works just fine – whether that’s
by coincidence or not. The drivers are upper filters to the keyboard and
mouse class filters.

The sample that I referenced shows how to install the KMDF framework if you
are using SCM to install the driver. This is for a legacy type driver. A
class filter is installed like a legacy driver plus you need to set up the
class so your driver gets attached to that class. The sample is a better
place to look then the OSR article that you reference. What I have done is
to add the stuff from nonpnp.inf to the class install inf. If your installer
adds the class registry entries directly then merge that code with the
sample install that I referenced.
You can’t install a class filter by just using the osr loader or the sc
command line program.

SCM = service control manager?
There is also an OSR article on WDF filter drivers that covers installation:
http://www.osronline.com/article.cfm?article=446
The problem is that you need to call some functions in the wdf coinstaller
that take as a parameter the path to an inf file, so even if you are using
SCM to install you have to create an inf anyhow (at this stage I reckon it
is just easier to use dpinst for wdf drivers).

How are you setting up to filter the keyboard/mouse?

Subject: [ntdev] Making sure the WDF framework is installed
A while ago I asked about the best way to install my input filter drivers
(keyboard and mouse) on a target system and I was recommended to simply do
it manually by using SCM. The filter drivers are built with WDF and
therefore depend on KMDF, so it dawns on me, how do I make sure the
framework is properly installed?
There was a post a while back talking about dpinst for WiX (which we use),
but I’m not sure if that’s the best solution if I’m not installing the
driver through that package but really only WDF.
Thanks,
Soren
