INF for Ports class CDC USB device using usbser.sys fails DTM INFT
Ken Spikowski
classified as a modem, the New Hardware Wizard will not install the Virtual
COM Port unless the INF file AddService directive Flags parameter has a value
of 2 to set the SPSVCINST_ASSOCSERVICE bit. This causes both ChkInf and the
DTM "INFTest for a single .INF" to fail with error "(E.22.1302) Filter
drivers cannot be the controlling service (SPSVCINST_ASSOCSERVICE)." To
certifiy the driver for a device that otherwise passes WINQUAL testing but is
less complicated than a modem, is there any other way besides misclassifying
it as a modem or writing a custom driver?

filter to Modem.sys and so the flag should be "2" as you say. If
you're a "COM port", you're simply a function driver for the entire
stack, so the flag should be "0".

Sorry, sorry, I got that backwards (it's been awhile). "2" is a
function driver and "0" is a filter driver. So "2" is what you want.
Which really leads to your real problem: you're trying to install
usbser as a lower filter on a Ports stack, and there is no function
driver. Note from your INF:
AddReg=LowerFilterAddReg,SerialPropPageAddReg
[DriverInstall.Services]
include = mdmcpq.inf
AddService = usbser, 0x00000000, LowerFilter_Service_Inst
You need to install it as the standalone driver. Try something like
this:
[DriverInstall.nt.Services]
include=mdmcpq.inf
AddService=usbser, 0x00000002, DriverService
[DriverService]
include=mdmcpq.inf
DisplayName=%Serial.SvcDesc%
ServiceType=1
StartType=3
ErrorControl=1
ServiceBinary=%12%\usbser.sys

value of 2 for the flags parameter still resulted in error "(E.22.1302)
Filter
drivers cannot be the controlling service (SPSVCINST_ASSOCSERVICE).", so I
changed it back to 0. I also found it necessary to remove the ".nt" from the
[DriverInstall.Services] section heading. However, with those changes the
device will not install.

cure your problem". There are plenty of usbser COM port INF's
floating around the net, so I suggest you copy one of those. For
example there is one in here:
