I have developed a Device coinstaller that utilizes in box MS drivers based
off the DDK toaster sample.

Since I cannot redistribute in box drivers how to I have my co installer
point to the in box driver without the Files needed box showing up?

I noticed if I copy the driver to my distribution folder and tell the
installer the location I do not recieve the Files needed box anymore. But
leaving the driver in the system32 drivers directory and pointing the
driverpath to that directory I get the box

Any suggestions?

I don't understand your question fully. You probably have an INF that uses
your coinstaller and an inbox driver. Correct? Do you have LayoutFile entry
in your INF. Read these sections:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/DevInst_r/hh/DevInst_r/inf-format_99d7a25e-5585-4c98-a347-3ee499cacce8.xml.asp

They describe how to include an inbox driver in your INF.

Thanks Eliyas
I have abandoned the Co installer and went with WHQL.

But recently we received WHQL cert on this INF and we are still being asked
for the driver anyway. When we point to the usbser.sys inbox driver it warns
us that the driver is unsigned.

We have the include=mdmcpq.inf in the INF with no needs directive.

We have also included the latest DriverVer information for the usbser.sys
driver in the INF.

[SourceDisksNames] and [SourceDisksFiles] are both empty because we need to
use the resident inbox driver. I cannot seem to locate information on these
directives to point to the inbox driver. All the links indicate how to use
these with OEM supplied drivers.

When I put the Layout instruction into the INF the chkinf tool returns a
warning
Line 6: WARNING: (W22.1.2013) Remove LayoutFile entry. LayoutFile entry used
ONLY by internal Microsoft engineering.

I have searched the DDK and the MSDN and tried to implement the INF
directives as indicated but there are still issues

Do you have any other ideas?

Dan

Here is a sample INF file that refers to an inbox INF "netrndis.inf" to
install the usb8023y.sys & rndismpy.sys. It shows how to use Needs and
Include sections. I would follow that.

; Template INF for a USB Remote NDIS Device

[Version]
Signature = "$Windows NT$"
Class = Net
ClassGUID = {4d36e972-e325-11ce-bfc1-08002be10318}
Provider = %Acme%
DriverVer = 02/20/2000,5.1.2505.0
;CatalogFile = Acme.cat

[Manufacturer]
%Acme% = AcmeDevices,NT.5.1

[AcmeDevices]
%AcmeDevice% = RNDIS, USB\VID_vvvv&PID_pppp

[AcmeDevices.NT.5.1]
%AcmeDevice% = RNDIS.NT.5.1, USB\VID_vvvv&PID_pppp

[ControlFlags]

; Windows LH specific sections -----------------------------------

[RNDIS.NT.5.1]

BusType = 15
include = netrndis.inf
needs = Usb_Rndis.ndi
AddReg = Rndis_AddReg_XP

[RNDIS.NT.5.1.Services]
include = netrndis.inf
needs = Usb_Rndis.ndi.Services

; no sys copyfiles - the sys files are already in place

; An optional Windows LH Property to demonstrate adding advanced properties
on Windows LH
[RNDIS_AddReg_XP]

HKR, NDI\params\XPProperty, default, 0, " "
HKR, NDI\params\XPProperty, optional, 0, "1"

; override the upperrange and lowerrange specified by netrndis.inf
HKR, Ndi\Interfaces, UpperRange, 0, "ndis5_ip, ndis5_ip6"
HKR, Ndi\Interfaces, LowerRange, 0, "atm"


[SourceDisksNames]

[SourceDisksFiles]

rndismpy.sys=1

[DestinationDirs]
RNDIS_CopyFiles_NT = 12

[Strings]

NetworkAddress = "Network Address"
XP_Property = "Optonal XP Property"
Acme = "Acme Corporation"
AcmeDevice = "Acme USB Remote NDIS Network Device"
SourceDisk = "Acme USB Network Driver Install Disk"
