Sideways question: spaces in class names?

Not strictly drivers, but driver installers. How does one get spaces
into a class name? I tried the obvious “My Class Name” in the .inf and
got a wierd double-install on 98. Changing to “MyClassName” solved
that, but it doesn’t look as good in the Device Manager. Feel free to
tell me to RTFM, provided you point to the right FM. :slight_smile: Thanks!

Look at the ClassInstall32 section of the INF described in the
DDK documentation. You want the “friendly name” to have
the spaces, and the class name to be without spaces.
