Can someone give me a code-snippet on installing a vxd automatically
(Windows 9x)?
There is no new hardware being plugged into the computer. I have an .inf
file that installs the driver fine with the "Hardware Wizard".
(1) I have heard of a method using DiInstallClass, DiInstallDevice, etc
(using VC 1.52) – code snippet would be helpful here…
(2) Somebody suggested using SetupCopyOEMInf – this makes windows "aware" of
the driver, but will not install it untill it recognizes the appropriate
hardware. Since no hardware is being plugged in here, this will not
automatically go — suggestions?
(3) Within the "new" WDM DDK there are SetupDiCallClassInstaller, SetupDi…
etc. Could these work to install a vxd (even in Win 95)? — if so, a short
code snippet would be helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Patrick.


Your question has nothing to do with Windows 3.1. Stay out of newsgroups
that are completely off topic from your question!!!!!

Sorry to have to do this, but you now
have to remove ‘doyou’ from my email
address to send me email. I have been
officially introduced to spam (mostly porn
spam, but ads too) and I’m sick of it.

Ivory, I apologize for not mentioning Win 3.1 directly, but the code for:
(1) I have heard of a method using DiInstallClass, DiInstallDevice, etc
(using VC 1.52) – code snippet would be helpful here…
would apply to 3.1 as well as 9x. Thus my choice of posting to 3.1 groups,
since some programmers who are familiar with 3.1 would know the answer.
respectfully, Patrick.
My apologies. You original message mentioned Windows9x and said nothing
about 3.1 and I made an incorrect assumption. Good luck on getting the
answers you need.
