SP4.
Finally able to load the driver using .inf installation but facing
following issues:
-
In device manager ‘uninstall’ option is not present for my driver.
-
Devcon is also not able to uninstall the driver but it(Devcon) is
able install the driver.
Issues are specific to server2000 so please let me know if any one
already faced these issues.
I found an old link http://www.osronline.com/showthread.cfm?link=144418
Where same problem had raised but did not find any suggestion or
probable reasons behind this, so asking here again. Please let me know
if this behavior is because of some issue in driver.

Forgot to answer the questions asked by Gary,
>>>How are you installing the driver?
Using INF file.
>>>Is the newer driver replacing the older driver pointed to by image
path?
No this is a new driver.
>>>Did you check the date/time stamps?
I am using INF file with latest time stamp. Could you please let me know
where exactly you want me to check date and time?

@Gary
I never said, that was an obvious question or people should not ask that
type of question so please please don’t take it that way. In fact I have
requested to consider that I have used required build environment i.e.
server 2000-32bits.
BTW, I have disabled warning using “#pragma warning(disable,4201)”, will
it be a problem?

We cannot assume anything here. We depend totally on what a poster
places in a post and too many times that proves to be ripe with the

attitude when you get asked the obvious
How are you installing the driver? Is the newer driver replacing the
older driver pointed to by image path? Did you check the date/time
stamps?

Yes Tim, I know Server2000 is very old but our existing product supports
that and I have been asked to support too :(. I know in latest WDK it is
not present so I have downloaded older WDK which is having 2000 build
environment and build the driver but some how OS is not allowing to load
the driver.
Please assume that I have build driver in correct build environment.
Since I have tried mirror sample given in WDK and it is also giving the
same result so I am wondering if I am missing some thing here.
Any suggestion or hint will help a lot here.

You keep saying “Server 2000”. Is that literally what you mean? You
are working with an operating system that is 10 years old? The fact
that you said “SP4” leads me to think so.
There is no “Server 2000” build environment in the latest WDK. That
support has been removed. You cannot use the “Server 2003” or “Server
2008” build environments to build Windows 2000 drivers. You must find
the Vista WDK and use the Windows 2000 build environment.
