Hi gurus

I have a virtual port up and running, seems to install and work fine.

Problem is, that ex HyperTerminal expects an registry entry
HKLM / HARDWARE / DEVICEMAP / SERIALCOMM / COMx

How is this entry generated ?
Do I miss a line in my INF file ?

TIA
Lars

your driver has to write the value itself. also, are you registering for
the com port device interface as well? if not, you should be.

Im not sure what you mean "registering for the com port device" ?

The installer places the virtual port under Ports, and creates it as first
available COM port.
Is that it ?

BTW
When installing, Windows automaticly figues out there are ex 2 normal COM
ports available, and names the new port COM3.
Where do I read this information when I want to create my symbolic link ?

TIA
Lars

the port name assigned to your port is under the Device Parameters key in
the registry (IoOpenDeviceRegistryKey). see the serial example, esp
SerialDoExternalNaming. By device interface i mean
IoRegisterDeviceInterface / IoSetDeviceInterfaceState. Again, see the
serial example. If you want things like TAPI to see your device, the
interface is required.
