Triggering AddDevice in user mode

NTDEV
1

Hi,
I would like to trigger AddDevice() with the use of a Win32 API (to add a
virtual PnP device). Is it possible ? If yes, how ?

2

The keywords here are: ‘root enumerated device’ and ‘SetupApi’

DDK samples ‘install’ and ‘devcon’ should help.

I wonder if this is in the ‘Kernel Driver FAQ’.
I admit I haven’t read the FAQ yet.

Also the Toaster sample will shows how. This is in the DDK.

Create a root-enumerated devnode using SetupDi APIs. IIRC Toaster sample has
such a code.
