[WiX-users] Driver without an INF file

[Rob Hamflett]

Has anyone installed a kernel-mode driver that doesn't have an INF file? I know not all drivers
have them since there's documentation from Micrsoft about signing drivers that don't. Specifically
I'm trying to install a build of the dokan file system driver. The instructions from dokan are to:
Copy dokan.sys under \Windows\system32\drivers
Copy dokan.dll under \Windows\system32
Place dokanctl.exe and mounter.exe in the same folder.
Run dokanctl.exe /i a. This means register the driver and the service to Windows.

I managed to get the service installed and running easily enough, but it looks like difx needs to
have an inf file. Any pointers would be useful.

Thanks,
Rob

So I finally got this working and thought I'd best post the reply here for other people having the
same issue. Specifically, the dirver I'm installing is a file system driver. Here's my INF file:

------ START OF FILE ---------------------------------------------------------------
; Copyright (C) My Company

[Version]
Signature = "$WINDOWS NT$"
Provider = %CompanyName%
DriverVer = 01/19/2011,1.0.0.0
DriverPackageType = FileSystem
DriverPackageDisplayName = %DriverDesc%

[Dokan_dll_file]
dokan.dll

[Dokan_sys_file]
dokan.sys

[DestinationDirs]
Dokan_sys_file = 12 ; system32
Dokan_dll_file = 11 ; system32\drivers

[SourceDisksNames]
1 = %SrcDisk1%


[SourceDisksFiles]
dokan.dll = 1
dokan.sys = 1

[DefaultInstall]
CopyFiles = Dokan_sys_file, Dokan_dll_file

[DefaultInstall.Services]
AddService = %ServiceName%,,driver.Service

[driver.Service]
DisplayName = %ServiceName%
Description = %ServiceDesc%
ServiceBinary = %12%\dokan.sys
ServiceType = 2 ; SERVICE_FILE_SYSTEM_DRIVER
StartType = 1 ; SERVICE_SYSTEM_START
ErrorControl = 1 ; SERVICE_ERROR_NORMAL
LoadOrderGroup = "File System"

[DefaultUninstall]
DelFiles = Dokan_dll_file, Dokan_sys_file

[DefaultUninstall.Services]
DelService = %ServiceName%,0x200

[Strings]
CompanyName = "My Company Ltd"
SrcDisk1 = "Source Disk 1"
ServiceName = "dokan"
ServiceDesc = "<Service description here>"
DriverDesc = "<Driver description here>"
------ END OF FILE ---------------------------------------------------------------

I added the following as a child element of the component containing the .inf file.
<difx:Driver AddRemovePrograms="no" ForceInstall="no" PlugAndPlayPrompt="no" Legacy="yes" />

Hope that helps someone,
Rob
