RegistryPath in DriverEntry

NTDEV
1

Hi,

We are writing a USB Compound Driver for Win 2000/XP.
In the DriverEntry routine, iam always getting the registry
path parameter as,
/Registry/Machine/CurrentControlSet001/Services/mydriver

instead of /Registry/Machine/CurrentControlSet/Services/mydriver…

Following is my inf file for the driver. Can somebody help me? What iam doing wrong?

Thanks & Regards,
Madhukar Reddy

“CurrentControlSet” you expected is alias for one of real control sets so
your driver gets given real thing rather than alias

Aside from this, you aren’t really supposed to use the registry path passed into DriverEntry for WDM. You are supposed to call IoOpenDeviceRegistryKey to get a handle to your device or driver specific registry key.
