I am creating a driver for a PCI device. While I am
waiting for the hardware, I am trying to manually install
my driver using an INF file I've created. I am doing this
just for initial testing and debugging without a device
present. I tried to use Add Hardware Wizard, but it
didn't work. Also I cannot unload the driver using
Service Manager because it is a PnP driver. Is there a
way for doing this?

Thanks!

Like I said this is wrong NG.

But basically you have two options.
To install this driver as purely software driver. (you need to change inf
file).

Or you can create virtual bus driver. And add virtual hardware to it, so PnP
will find and install your hardware driver.

All you need is contained and explained in various Toaster samples.

Thanks for all your help. I apologize for using this NG

It is in your own interest to ask questions in appropriate NG.

Because you would get more than one response.
