Hi All,

Can we install NDIS IM driver using DriverPackageInstall?

I am using sample DIFxCmd.exe and run following commands.

For miniport inf file.
DIFxCmd.exe /i C:\DriverSample\Driver\Driver_m.inf 16 4
DIFxAPI Sampe Program
INFO: Option "/i"
INFO: Input file "C:\DriverSample\Driver\Driver_m.inf"
INFO: Flags 0x14 (20)

No, DifX does not support NDIS IMs.
Please google for other solutions and visit ndis.com

Hi Pavel,

Thanks for reply.

Is there any reason why does DiFx not support it?

Probably because IMs are not a common sort of drivers (and deprecated in
NT6+), and need special tricks to install.

NDIS IM driver can be installed using DriverPackageInstall and DIFxCmd sample
given both inf must be correct otherwise driver installaiton will be failed
in stagging only.
