Install Filter Driver
in [Device Drivers]

From: Sushma on 17 Mar 2010 11:47 Hi All, I want to install my disk upper filter driver for a USB mass storage device programatically. I think I need to use CreateService() and other routines to start the serivce. At the same time I need to add registry keys (UpperFilters key) under USBSTOR to install as filter driver. I'm not sure how to determine the hardware ID under which I need to add these registry keys. How do I find hardware ID for the disk device of my USB mass storage device to add the registy keys? Thank You. Regards, Sushma
From: Don Burn on 17 Mar 2010 12:00 You do not install with CreateService since this is a PnP stack. You will need an INF file to install it, and if you want this programmatically then look at the DevCon sample in the WDK. This is a sample tool that gives you the capabilities of DeviceManager. But, I would be sure my driver is working correctly with a standard install before you go there.

I want to install the driver without the INF file. I think this is possible. Using the USB driver can i find the disk driver id which is enumerated for my device. ~Sushma
From: Don Burn on 17 Mar 2010 13:43 Yes it is possible, but it is going to fragile and never work well. Why would you want to go to the pain of doing something that is completely out of the norm? You can do this programmatically with an INF file.

Filter driver? not so at all, single registry value addition is by far better then INF files with all these SetupCopyOEMInf and such. -- Maxim S.
