We have a virtual storport miniport driver. We have release signed the
driver and tested it on Windows 7/8.1 (x86 and amd64) using devcon and it
works.
To install driver using pnputil, I have executed the following command
PnPutil.exe -i -a "%programfiles(x86)%\Service_Key\Driver\mydriver.inf
and it gave the output “successfully installed the driver on a device on
the system”. But it has not created the device node, when I checked further
the driver is installed under “non plug and play devices” in the device
tree.
When installed using devcon I have used the following command
devcon install mydriver.inf root\myDevice
and it has created a new device (myDevice) under “SCSI Adapter” in device
tree
Could I be doing anything wrong? Is there a better way to install storport
miniport driver?
Note that it is fine with running silent in command line mode.
