My company manufactures a USB device that may attach to any USB port on the
PC but only one such device is allowed per PC. Our device is currently
driven by an HID kernel-mode driver in the W2k/XP platforms and basically
performs read/write operations aside from the power/pnp functionality.

If I am not mistaken, the WinUSB environment offers an attractive
alternative for us in the Vista platform. Is this true or should we be
looking at UMDF?

If WinUSB is suitable, where may I download the winusb.sys and .dll files
for testing on XP?

Thanks
dmm

WinUSB is part of the WDK see
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/DevTools/WDK/WDKpkg.mspx for details how to
get it.

Hi Don

I have installed WinDDK 6000 (which targets both vista and xp) on my PC. I
search the entire DDK for files "winusb.sys" and "winusb.dll" but I get no
hits.

Thanks

Thanks Don -- just like you said. During the inf/installation process, the
winusb.sys is extracted and copied to directory "\windows\system32\driver."

Hi dmm,

Please could you tell me, how did you install the winusb.sys?

I tried it 100 times but still not able to succeed.
I followed the instructions given in "WinUsb_HowTo.doc" which is from
Microsoft.
I tried it on internet with many options. But no use.

I am using USB stick (Pen drive) device for installation.

Thanks,
Neel

Hi Neel

I checked my notes and this is what I have:

Goto the OSR Online site
http://www.osronline.com/cf.cfm?Page...CFM?list=NTDEV and search
for "winusb." There is a lot of good information there on editing your inf
file so that the co-installers will execute properly.

Thanks dmm for your inputs.

I gone through many posting on the given link but my problem of installing
the winusb.sys driver for the USB Stick is not solved (Using the INF file
details provided my microsoft in "WinUsb_HowTo.doc") .

I am using the following WDK files (WDK - Windows Server 2008 RC1) for the
installation on WinXP:
1). WinUSBCoInstaller.dll
2). WdfCoInstaller01007.dll
3). WUDFUpdate_01007.dll
& INF file from the ""WinUsb_HowTo.doc"

I am installing the driver from "Device Manager->Update Driver" on the
connected "USB Mass storage Device".
Intallation start copying & installing "WinUSBCoInstaller.dll" &
"WdfCoInstaller01007.dll" but at the end, it displays the message dialog
"Cannot install this hardware", "There was a problem installing this
hardware".

Also, when I select the device in Device Manager and check the driver
details, then I found that the WINUSB.SYS is NOT installed (instead the
default USBTOR.SYS is installed).

I think there is problem withe INF file only.
What could be the problem?
Is this INF file not proper?
Is the WDK files not proper?

Thanks
Neel

Thanks dmm.

I have gone through those 2 links earliear.
Again now I tried once again with lot more care but still not able to succeed.

Today for the first time after installation at the end there were no errors
reported and message was The wizard has Finished installing the software for
WinUSB.
But when I check the driver details it shows the old USBTOR.Sys and not the
winusb.sys.

Hello Doron,

Today again I am able to install the driver.
For this installation I used:
1) The INF file from USBIO driver (From Thesycon - usbio.sys, which is
similar in functionality of WinUSB) and modified for WinUSB data.
2) winusb.sys - from the Windows folder from my earlier installation.

At the end I am getting the following message
Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware.
The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)
<<<<<<<<<.

But when I check the driver details in Device Manager, All ther entries are
proper including the driver name "winusb.sys".
The Only diff is that, on the device the yellow circle with "!" symbol.
(Mark of incomplete installation)

Please can you sense what could be the wrong?

Thanks

Hi Neel

I have listed the working inf file that I use to install my usb driver on
the xp platform. I made a couple of changes: used your guids and device
identifier. Otherwise it is the same as mine. Note that I used a single
guid and you had two. I also specified a catalog file. Those were the 2
differences I noticied immediately except for the versions numbers of the
DLLs.

I tried your INF but again did not succeed.

Please can you send the following files from WDK 6000 i.e. KMDF ver 1.5
1. WdfCoInstaller01005.dll
2. WUDFUpdate_01005.dll
3. WinUSBCoInstaller.dll
to neelesh.kadam@wipro.com

I am able to install it on Vista successfully with the following INF.
But I am not able to enumurate it using WinUSB APIs.
Here I am not using the winusb co-installer, instead I am using the
winusb.sys directly from the Windows/System32/Drivers.
This INF is taken from Thesycon (USBIO driver - Third party) and modified.

I am trying to install WinUSB on XP. I think I have reviewed all possible
documentation and am stuck. I installed WDK, used a sample INF from a
Microsoft site, the WinUSB co-installer works fine, however the KMDF does
not. I do not have WdfCoInstaller01005.dll on my system nor can I find out
why or where to get it. Can you help?

if you downloaded the latest WDK (6001) it comes with KMDF 1.7, which would
be in wdfcoinstaller01007.dll. even then, you might have the 1.7
coinstaller b/c there was a servicing problem which delayed the release of
the coinstaller. You can download the kmdf coinstaller separately,

Thanks, that did it. If I may, have another question.

Using a single bulk address with both a IN and OUT endpoint. I am a little
unclear on the device sending data to the host. When does the host send
notifcation to the device that it is expecting data? In particular my device
is monitoring some engine functions and based on some conditions will
asynchronously send status data to the host. I know a USB host initiates IN
data transfers. Does it periodically ask a device if it has any data to send?

Paul


"Doron Holan [MSFT]" wrote:

no, the host controller by itself will not poll the device asking if it has
data. it is up to you to always have a pending transfer on the IN endpoint
so that the host controller is always asking for data. your device can then
send back data when it has something to send.
