Hi,

I have developed a mirror display driver for remote desktop like
application. Now I want to create a installer for this driver which can
install my mirror driver automatically, without asking anything from user.
Please let me know what and how to use.

There are lots of tools for this, or your driver can call the SetupDi APIs
directly. What have you tried already?

actually I have tried multiple wayes to install the mirrror driver like
1. I have created one .inf file which I want to install by using right
click. So I have included the [DefaultInstall] section into it. and I am
getting able to start installation by right click but it just do registry
setting in "CurrentControlset>class" and "CurrentControlset>service" it also
copy the .dll,.sys at particular place but still by mirror drive is not
installed. so please can you tell me which part of .inf I am missing?
2. Secondly I have created one service for installing mirror driver by which
I have created one service but when I am going to start that service it give
error "device is not attached to this service" actully i have also tried to
create device object in DriverEntry by useing its parameter "context1" but
still not working.
so can you tell me is there any replacement for DriverObject in mirror driver?
3. Then I tried Installshield 12.0, I am using "DifxDriverPackageInstall"
function to install the mirror driver but still getting the error
"ERROR_NO_SUCH_DEVINST".

TransparentBlt is your next stop.
Certain 24bpp Icons have a custom color-key implementation
that relies on the default color of the background brush
for a Dialog to achieve the transparency effect.

Sometimes those mispaints are higher-up in the stack than your
display driver, and, they can be reproduced in TS at 24bpp,
or in older display driver at unusual color depths.
