Hi all ,
i am writing a setup application based on devcon sample for my
ethernet base driver. I know Intel does it
(Intel\W2K3\Mgmt_Apps\SETUP\SETUPBD\W2KWS03\SetupBD.exe). I am writing
code similar to cmdInstall , cmdUpdate of devcon. After running the my
install application Device manager shows the yellow icon for my
ethernet card saying device cannot run. NDC does not show my card
connection. Running "devcon install <inf path> <hardware id>" also
behaves as above. Righ clicking on my card in device manager is not
showing Resources tab.

If you install the driver using Found new hardware wizard everything
works fine.
What is wrong i am doing??
can some one share the code!!! atleast the setup api function call
sequence??

What i am suspecting is my program is not creating
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\PCI\XXX" entries for
the driver where as Found New hardware wizard writes in this entry.

I have gone through Microsoft "Writing a Device Installation
Application" article and many more Device Installtion "Design Guide"
articles. They are of least use as they donot have any sample code..

I have only 2 files. a)Inf and b) Sys file.
I don't require Class/Device coinstallers , user confirmation.
I am testing it on Win 2003.

If you want i can attach the Setupapi.log files generated when devcon
is run and when Found New Hardware wizard is run.......

Any sample code is of great help..
Happy coding..
