install keyboard filter driver
Weiyang Zhou
My filter driver is based on the NTDDK\src\input\kbfiltr sample. In the
readme file of this sample, it provides the following steps to install the
filter:
Open the Device Manager.
Open the Properties of the PS/2 keyboard installed on the system.
Click the Driver tab, and then click Update Driver.
Follow the wizard's prompts, and when prompted, select the Display a
list of the known drivers option, and then click Next.
Click Have Disk and point to the location of the .inf file.
Proceed through the rest of the install. You will need to reboot the
machine if you are filtering a PS/2 device.
If I use the above steps, I can successfully install my filter driver. In
the Device Manager window,
if you expand the Keyboards node, you will only see "keyboard filter
driver". The driver files include i8042prt.sys, kbdclass.sys and
kbfilter.sys. The filter works fine.
But I want to install the filter driver programmatically without use
intervention.
So I try to use the NTDDK\src\general\setup\install sample to install the
filter driver. I run something like "install c:\mydriver\kbfilter.inf
*PNP0BAAD" and reboot the system. If I go to Device Manager window and
expand the Keyboards node again, I see "keyboard filter driver" AND "PC/AT
Enhanced PS/2 Keyboard(101/102 Key). There is also error icon in front of
the filter driver and my filter driver seems not work.
So my question is what is the difference between Hardware Wizard and using
the SetupDi function like install sample? Doesn't the install sample not
work on filter drivers?
Thanks

Did you modify the INF kbfiltr.inf to have the right hardware ID.
If not, replace the *pnpBAAD with the hardware ID for your keybord (e.g.
*pnp0303 or ACPI\pnp0303.).
Then use install sample. This will find the matching devnode using this
hardware ID
and update the registry with filter driver information.
You may also use devcon sample from XP DDK.

use *pnp030b. Then I use "install kbfiltr.inf *pnp030b" to install the
filter drive, but it seems install the filter driver twice. If I go to
Device Manager window and expand the Keyboards node, there are two "DDK
sample keyboard filter" and one of them has a error icon. Any idea?
Thanks

it uses a case-sensitive comparison. I just need to change the Hardware ID
of the command line to *PNP030b to match my keyboard Hardware ID.
By the way, is the Hardware ID in INF case-sensitive?
Thanks
