Are you setting exclusive on IoCreateDevice? Some versions of ctrl2cap did
that, and this will produce the behavior you describe.

usermode app try to get the handle of it using “CreateFile”, but the first
one success, the second one failed!! why??

any suggestion is appreciated.

hDevice = CreateFile(
“\…\Ctrl2Cap”, 0 ,
FILE_SHARE_WRITE|FILE_SHARE_READ,
NULL,
OPEN_EXISTING,
FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL,
NULL
);
if ( hDevice == ((HANDLE)-1) )
{
DWORD DW = GetLastError();//dw =0x00000005( access is denied
return FALSE;
}
