From: Nick Rivers on 27 Oct 2006 07:41 I?ve tried that CopyINF already in the past. It does not work for me. Problem with Windows Vista is, that the Audio device part will be installed automatically as a Generic Audio USB device using the inbox drivers (USBAudio.sys & some more) of Vista. (The device manager reports error Code 10 for this device). There will be no find new hardware wizard window for the Audio device, only for the Video device part. So I assume the CopyINF directive will not work for me. Do you have any more suggestions, please?

From: Eliyas Yakub [MSFT] on 27 Oct 2006 09:52 How about: 1) Use CopyINF to copy your INF for the audio device. 2) From your coinstaller, uninstall the generic audio driver installed by the system. 3) Trigger a rescan of the bus so that the system can reinstall the device with your INF because your INF will have more appropriate device-id match than the compat-id match provided by the inbox INF. For this to work, you driver package should be a signed package otherwise inbox INF will take precedence over your INF. -Eliyas "Nick Rivers" <nrivers(a)yahoo.com> wrote in message news:OutdMzb%23GHA.4524(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > I?ve tried that CopyINF already in the past.

From: Nick Rivers on 30 Oct 2006 10:29 Thanks Eliyas! That sounds great so far. But I am still dealing with some small problems... I don?t know exactly howto uninstall the generic audio driver (device) correctly under Windows Vista! 'SetupDiCallClassInstaller' works but then my code acts strange. I do not get my some of my DebugView outputs anymore when calling this function from within my CoInstaller dll. But the device will be removed. Is it allowed to use this function to remove the device under Vista? Cause the 'Device Installation Rules and Guidelines for Windows Vista' white paper says only that it must not be used for software first installations. And how can I invoke a rescan of the bus? Using the SetupDiCallClassInstaller to remove the device seems to trigger a rescan automatically....

From: Eliyas Yakub [MSFT] on 30 Oct 2006 11:19 Follow the devcon sample source code in the DDK. It describes how to remove, rescan, pretty much everything that you can do with device manager. -Eliyas "Nick Rivers" <nrivers(a)yahoo.com> wrote in message news:esO9rgD$GHA.4428(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > Thanks Eliyas! > > That sounds great so far.
