Installing a Non-PnP Driver

  • Article

If your KMDF driver supports a non-Plug and Play (PnP) device on Windows 10, use the same approach as that shown in the Non-PnP Driver Sample, but remove references to INF files and co-installers. For example, you do not need the following:

#define NONPNP_INF_FILENAME  L"\\nonpnp.inf"
#define WDF_SECTION_NAME L"nonpnp.NT.Wdf"
 
LoadWdfCoInstaller
UnloadWdfCoInstaller
 
PFN_WDFPREDEVICEINSTALLEX pfnWdfPreDeviceInstallEx;
PFN_WDFPOSTDEVICEINSTALL   pfnWdfPostDeviceInstall;
PFN_WDFPREDEVICEREMOVE     pfnWdfPreDeviceRemove;
PFN_WDFPOSTDEVICEREMOVE   pfnWdfPostDeviceRemove;

For a non-PnP KMDF driver, simply call the SCM API to create the service. For more info, see Installing a Service.
