Hi,

I am working on NDIS IM driver for Windows XP SP2 and installation
program uses INetCfg.

I am facing one strange issue. Sometimes my driver installation gets
failed and setup api logs shows
Error Code: 0xE0000228 There are no Compatible driver for this device.
After enabling setupapi verbose logging, I found that my driver's inf
is not in inf cache.
If I deleted inf cache file then driver gets installed and every thing
working file.

Could you please let me know what would be the potential issue in my
driver/inf file? This bug occurs only on few machines not in all
machine. If it is required I can attach my Inf File.

Regards,
Anand Choubey

Are you sure your INF file is correct? Use CheckInf or Inf2Cat.

If you are using an INF from an old DDK, compare it with an INF from a newer
WDK.

Hi,

Thanks a lot for quick reply.

I run chkinf against protocol and miniport inf file.

I get following warnings:

In miniport file: 1 warning
[SourceDisksNames]
; (W22.1.2206) SourceDisksNames section defined but no CopyFiles
directive found.
;None

[SourceDisksFiles]
; (W22.1.2207) SourceDisksFiles section defined but no CopyFiles
directive found.
;None

In protocol files 2 warnings
[WxCDriver.ndi.Remove]
; (W22.1.2083) Section [WXCDRIVER.NDI.REMOVE] not referenced
DelFiles = WxCDriver.Files.Sys

[SourceDisksFiles]
ftrshim.sys=1
WxCDriver_m.inf=1
; (W22.1.2033) INF files should not be listed in SourceDisksFiles.

I compared in 6000 WDK and I get only one difference that
WxCDriver_m.inf (miniport inf file) is in SourceDisksFiles directive.
Do these warning create this issue?

One more thing: I install my driver with help of network property then
driver is installed and I uninstall driver and run my installer again.
Now it is working fine.

Could you please suggest me that what would be the reason and how can
I create my issue on machine again?

Anand Choubey

You may want to see if your driver can get installed and uninstalled through
BindView without a problem. If so, then you may want to compare your
installation code against BindView and see if there are areas where you're
doing something wrong or different.

You can find the BindView sources in src\network\config\bindview of the WDK.
