How do you find out the INF file that is being used when you plug in a device in windows .
We are plugging in a USB modem and it tries to install the MBB USB Drivers and then throws a error "INF written for Windows 95 or later, driver missing entry file" . Well i am installing the driver on windows XP which is later than windows 95 , so not sure what exactly is wrong .
i want to find out exactly which inf file windows is picking up and then maybe i can change the signature entry to $WindowsNT$ .
any thoughts here ..
while we are at the topic of device drivers . Could anyone please suggest a good book for windows device drivers . Something which is from ground up and covers a lot of basics .
Raymon Chen is lucky not to have said what you said, because he would then have been wrong. It is, after all, not DOS+Windows 95 issuing the error message about the INF file, but the newer operating system in question itself, which was known to come after DOS+Windows 95 from the get-go. – JdeBP – 2011-06-27T09:12:43.383
WDM drivers work on both Win 9x and Windows XP. Also some classes of drivers had incompatible changes in Vista, but not all of them. – John – 2011-06-27T21:24:44.090
