I'm not sure I understand how a lower filter driver could be in a
DiskDrive-class INF file. You aren't installing a new devnode. How do you
install it? Do you use right-click Install?

A System device will have to go unclassified.

Hi,
Thank you, I got it.
We use right-click Install to install our disk low filter driver,
if our driver package needs to go to unclassified catalog for certification
in WLK, do we just need to pass all test items in unclassified catalog or
need to discuss with Microsoft for additional test?

Regards,
Peter,

Ah, I see. You do not really have a disk-class device. A right-click
install is not really a device installation. It doesn't involve device
manager at all. It's just a cheap substitute for a software installer.
Most of the INF INF is not even used, including the device class.

You can't submit the filter driver for WLK. Fortunately, you don't NEED
to. Since there is no device installation, the WHQL signature check will
not be done.

If your other device uses a real INF, then it would need to submit as
unclassified.
