Hi All,
Is it possible to update a NDIS protocol programmatically?
There is a NDISPROT based driver that is used by an application to
send/receive RAW Ethernet packets.
The driver has been changed a bit and need to be updated with the recent
version when a user installs the updated package.
I use snetcfg.exe to install|uninstall the NDIS protocol driver, but it
implements no 'update' functionality.
Ever more INetCfgClassSetup class export only Install and Uninstall
functions.
When a copy of the driver is installed, snetcfg.exe seems to be unable to
update the binary.
It does not matter whether the drive is started or stopped.
The work around that I found is to stop and uninstall the old driver and
then install the new one.
But this way does not work when the old driver is used by the application.
So the question is how to update the driver's binary file without
uninstalling the old instance?
Is it possible?
Best regards,
Valeriy Glushkov
