setup logs for driver installation

NTFSD
1

Hi,
I have a minifilter driver what monitors some of the file Io calls.

as part of our software installation this minifilter installed using
rundll32.exe
rundll32.exe SETUPAPI.DLL, InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 131 C:\Program
Files\MyProduct\MyMinifilter.inf

this works most of the times.

Recently faced one problem where the installation had failed on a machine.

I wanted to check what might have gone wrong and looked in setupapi logs

%systemroot%\INF\setupapi.dev.log and %systemroot%\INF\setupapi.app.log
have no information about driver installation

where should I look for the driver installation logs?

Is there a registry key settings for this?

Most (if not all) of the SetupAPI logging is for device driver installation.

Did your filter install but fail to load or not install at all?

You can try cranking up the SetupAPI log level and or mask and see if that
shows anything:

If not, I’d hope to be able to reproduce it so I could watch what happens
during the install.
