Hi

Can Vista use filter driver , any framework change ?

Does MSDN Library tell us much about filter driver ?

I have question about ComPort Inf section of msports.inf

[ComPort.NT.HW]
AddReg=ComPort.NT.HW.AddReg

[ComPort.NT.HW.AddReg]
HKR,,"UpperFilters",0x00010000,"serenum"


What does Inf HW section use for, and where will it create registry key ?

Thank you .

Do you mean WDM filter drivers? If so, then there is no change.

The WDK contains several good samples. The concept is just not that
complicated.

Devices use keys in (at least) three different parts of the registry: the
Services section, the software key in Control\Classes, and the hardware key
in Enum. The UpperFilters value happens to lives in the hardware key, and
the .NT.HW suffix is the way that you store a value there.

Hi

I am working on a filter driver for a PCI-PCI bridge device. This driver
needs to update one of the PCI function registers if not configured
properly. The filter driver is based on the KMDF toaster filter driver. I
have come across the following issue when installing the driver. The inf
file was based on the agp440.inf. It works fine. The issue is when I was
cleaning up references to agp440, it complains about the service name in the
[TI_XIO2000_Install.Services]section. The error is Error 1078, The name is
already in use either a service name or service display name. I have
inserted the inf file for reference

I would appreciate any comments and help. I am pretty sure I am overlooking
something.

Regards
Sumithra

do not install pci.sys as a driver, it is guaranteed to alread be installed.
this section should go

and then change this
to this
and get rid of this (unless you need agp440 in the stack, which i doubt)

Doron

This generates error 0xe0000217, a service installation section in this inf
is invalid.

turn on setupapi debugging and see the exact error. there is probably a
dangling reference to a service section in the INF. also run your INF
through chkinf
