"Reboot may be required" message after installing USB driver
Posted by Guillaume on February 3rd, 2005


Hi,

On Windows XP/2003, I get a message such as "A reboot may be required"
after the installation of my USB driver.

But actually, no reboot is required, the whole thing is ready to run
once installed.

How do I get the system not to show this warning? Is there something
specific to add/to remove from my .INF file?

Thanks!

Usually, this means that one or more IRP_MJ_PNP handlers is not returning a
successful status, or is not handling the IRP properly, in the driver being
installed by the INF. I had a similar problem in my driver.
