Hello,
I have a device driver running in Windows 2000 that has a property page. I can install the device driver fine using infs but when I try to update it afterwards using device manager the Windows requires me to reboot in order to make update effective. Just to make note here; I don’t receive any PnP- or Power-IRP so this should have nothing to do with PnP-IRPs.
If I delete the property page dll manually from "…\System32"-directory, the update works fine. Now I’m running out of clues how to get things working without rebooting. Checked build has really given me any glues, except the line:
InstallDev CM_Get_DevNode_Status()=0 DevNodeStatus=180610a Problem=e
Does anyone has any clues how to solve this problem. I’m wondering if this is a inf problem but I’m not sure… Could the dll itself somehow cause this kind of behaviour?
BR, Mikko
How did you set Start in the services key value for your driver?

Value from that part of inf are:
ServiceType=1
StartType=3
ErrorControl=1
The exactly same inf works fine with Windows XP. Well, it doesn’t mean that there still couldn’t be something wrong in there
