Driver Installation
Posted by Reemul on September 12th, 2005



All right, got to compile the skeleton of a driver, now how does one tell the
operating system to load the image and call DriverEntry?

Before someone asks, let me state some facts:

- The 'device' is NOT PnP-compliant and will never be
- The driver will be accessing the device by means of a network connection.
- A driver is needed. There is already a normal application to interact with
the device, but for various reasons the application in not enough any more and
a device driver needs to be written.

I am quite new to device drivers, so any hint will be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

For testing purposes use DriverLoader from OSR
http://www.osronline.com/article.cfm?article=157, for final you can either
use an INF or the service calls in your application.
