- Could I get the signed logo if only INF and property page provided?
- Posted by Jack Huang on September 25th, 2007
I would install the customized property page for UVC device.
Since XP SP2 or later version contains build-in driver for UVC device.
I can modify usbvideo.inf directly to install build-in driver and
my property page.
Could I get the signed logo if I provided the modified INF and property
page files?
Best Regards

No. You should write your own very simple INF that uses Needs and Includes
to bring in the necessary parts of usbvideo.inf.
However, since a property page is a user-mode DLL, you don't have anything
that NEEDS a signature. You could just have a small setup application that
copies the file in place and modifies the registry to link to it.

But by installing it with an INF you can name the device better than
windows. I'm not sure about video class, but HID will name stuff with
generic names like "HID-Compliant Device", which you can change to suit
your product name.
Plus a signed driver package/INF/property page dll can be distributed via
windows update.

Because my INF doesn't have a signature, Windows will use system
build-in INF (usbvideo.inf) to install driver for UVC device even I
provide my own INF. Therefore, I ask this question.
I hope the property page can be installed when the driver is installed.
As you said, I can write a small setup application to modify the registry.
The setup program can do that only after registry is created.
Does it mean the property page cannot be load in the first plug?
The program needs to monitor device arrival and modifies registry
for the new installed device.

Owen's answer has the right advice. Make your own INF, use Needs/Includes,
and WHQL that with your property page DLL.

Windows build-in driver of usb video class is usbvideo.inf / usbvideo.sys
I have a modified usbvideo.inf / property page dll.
What should the driver package contain for a signed logo?
(modified usbvideo.inf / property page dll) or
(usbvideo.sys / modified usbvideo.inf / property page dll) ?

Neither. It needs to be your OWN INF file that refers to usbvideo.inf, and
your property page DLL.

And until you have a WHQL logo/signature, the in-box inf is always deemed
the "better" inf file.
In this case, use DeviceManager to update the drivers and specify your inf
file, or write an installer that uses either SetupCopyOEMInf or
UpdateDriversForPlugAndPlayDevices.
