legacyMode Problems
in [Device Drivers]
|
From: Erik[MSFT] on 1 Jun 2005 14:41 The tools have a bug when using the legacyMode from the XML. But the command line switch is working. Use "/lm" on the command line instead of <legacyMode/> and it should work. MS is working on a fix for this. Thanks, -Erik -- This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranty, and confers no rights.

From: Vincent on 7 Jun 2005 13:07 I am also using DPInst v2. The installation runs fine, but when I attach the device, the system prompts for the .sys file. Apparently, DPInst didn't copy the the .sys and .inf file. If I manually copy the .sys to the driver directory, the window will still appear to ask for the file. Sorry, I am new to installing device drivers. Is there something that I need to specify in the .inf? My problem is that I would think DPInst would take care of the "linking" of the .sys file when the device first gets plugged in on the USB. Any advise would be appreciated! Vincent This is what I have now in the .inf: [Version] Signature = "$Windows NT$" Class=USB ClassGUID={36fc9e60-c465-11cf-8056-444553540000} Provider=%MSI% ;; CatalogFile=USBMST.cat DriverVer= 05/11/2005 [DestinationDirs] NMUI_1.Files.x86_12 = 12 [SourceDisksFiles.x86] usbmstnv1.sys=1,, [DestinationDirs] usbmstnv1.CopyFiles.Ext = 10,System32\Drivers usbmstnv1.OvwrFiles.Ext = 10,System32\Drivers usbmstnv1.OvwrFiles.Inf = 17 usbmstnv1.DelFiles.Hwd = 17 "Benjamin" wrote: > Was there a resolution to this problem?

By the way, I opened a case with Microsoft about this problem. It turns out this is a bug with DPInst.exe version 2.0. It appears that DPInst is not parsing the switch from the XML file correctly. The best workaround is to start DPInst.exe with the /lm command line switch. "Benjamin" wrote: > Was there a resolution to this problem?
