Right Click Install on Windows 7 64 Bit
in [Device Drivers]
|
From: Michael Reim on 25 May 2010 06:30 Hello I'm trying to write an inf file for our custom device. So far I got it working for Windows XP 32 Bit, but it doesn't work for Windows 7 64 Bit. If I go to device manager and right click my device, I can install the new driver without any problems. But if I right click the inf file and select install, the system tells me "the inf file you selected does not support this method of installation". Why? What is missing in my inf file? Or how can I find out what is wrong with my inf file? Please see my inf file below.

From: Michael Reim on 27 May 2010 10:05 Thank you Doron. It's sad to have an install menu point that is not working, but now I know that I don't have to search for bugs in my inf file.

From: Wilhelm Noeker on 27 May 2010 11:52 Btw., what Windows was trying to tell you: Right-click "Install" executes an INF file's [DefaultInstall] section, and you don't have that.

From: kalbun on 12 Jun 2010 16:43 What you are saying does not seem completely correct. For non-signed drivers you can add the [DefaultInstall] section that allows you to install from right-click. Here is what MSDN says (http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?dg=microsoft.public.development.device.drivers&tid=7fda430e-6cca-435f-8e03-397b3ec84026&cat=en_US_f21c06d1-a77b-4ccf-be60-a4f0a7801247&lang=en&cr=US&sloc=&p=1&mid=baafd8ac-857a-4f35-a50e-25f4df97c264) "Providing a DefaultInstall section is optional. If an INF file does not include a DDInstall section, selecting "Install" after right-clicking on the file name causes an error message to be displayed." On the other hand, it seems that if the driver package is signed you are obliged NOT to have the DefaultInstall section. G.
