Re: Problem in componentizing Software-only Device driver

Thanks for the response.

No I must install it using the Add new hardware wizard, or using the install
program that we wrote.
I tried setupapi InstallHinfSection already but it didn't work. According to
fba.log there was no error, but driver was not visible in device manager.

In mean time I have solved problem using the brute force, I don't think that
it is the way it should be used though but it will work for me.

I have made the component that populate directly Enum, Class and Services
keys in registry so there is no need for PNP or installation.

Thanks again,
Slobodan
