Network Provider, Win2K and XP

Hi,

I have what I think is a network provider dll quandry.

My NP is the same one as used on Win2K. It looked like
it would work on XP, but there seem to be some differences
which aren’t readily apparent. The one case that we see
is that our network devices aren’t showing up in
dialog boxes on some application installation dialogs.

Note that my NP (and network fs) seem to do most all other
functions (map drives, access, etc.), but sometimes these
mapped drives don’t show up in some dialogs.

I was looking through the XP/IFS docs and didn’t see any good
“changes from Win2K” item. I did note that there was an
additional WNNC query (WNNC_CONNECTION_FLAGS) of which there
are no examples nor documentation (typical) (ifs 2462).

Can any kind soul clue me in or point me to where these
differences are?

Pete

You may find the Open path in your file system driver is what is
failing. Many Dialogs rely on the Win32 API GetDriveType() to detect if
a device is remote, removable, etc. Dialogs will then make a judgment
of whether to include the drive letter or not based on the return value
of this API call.

…and GetDriveType require the DeviceType field in the device object to be valid.
