Hi i was wondering how to install drivers that i created in with my C code like basic .ko files without having to plug in any hardware. I was considering using a dpinst.exe that would install the drivers package but I wasnt quite sure how to install the device driver without plugging something in on WINDOWS
You want to install a .ko (Linux kernel module) on a Windows system? Huh?
Code://try //{ if (a) do { f( b); } while(1); else do { f(!b); } while(1); //}
okay well maybe not a .ko file (like .sys .dll files) but i want to intall a device driver on windows without having to plug in hardware. basically is there another way to install without using the pnp method where i have files for a device driver and want to install. And its not ilke updating drivers its installing new ones.

It won't work on X64 unless you sign the driver or unless you disable the enforcement through the F8 boot menu (you'll need to do this every boot you wish to run the driver). Oh and the spaces are required after the '=' for some reason, remove them at your peril.Code:sc create type= kernel binPath= "C:\Path\To\File.sys" DisplayName= MyDriver sc start MyDriver
sorry im kinda new to device drivers for windows platform. but what does the command
sc
do is that for dos cmd prompt or something. And is there an easier command line to do it if there mutiple device driver files or should it be done individually
