Hi,
I'm doing an installation for a file system driver. To install the driver, I use the inf file provided with the driver.
I use the following:
/**************/
szProgram = "rundll32.exe";
szCmdLine = "setupapi.dll,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 " + SUPPORTDIR ^ "driver.inf";
LaunchAppAndWait(szProgram, szCmdLine, WAIT);
/**************/
Is that a good way to install a file system driver or is there a better way?
With this way, I'm finding it difficult to "repair" reg entires, I get a "installation failed" msg.
Thanks & Regards,
-Salil.

That method usually doesn't work for Device Drivers. Are you using InstallShield X? In this case it has built in driver instalaltion support (launch the Device Driver wizard from the Project menu)

I tried using the Device Driver Wizard, but my driver does not yet have a catalog file. So the Wizard does not let me proceed any further.
I'm trying to generate a .cat file to see if I can make any progress.
Suggestions?

Thanks & Regards,
