What coinstaller > event handler would be the best to use for it? There are at least two ways of doing this, I think. One way is to handle the DIF_NEWDEVICEWIZARD_FINISHINSTALL event by providing a custom page for the hardware wizard. This will not work in 98/Me (if you care) because those platforms don't support coinstallers. Another way is to fire off an application with an entry in the RunOnce registry key. Using RunOnce will probably earn you some grief from WHQL, however. Many of the techniques you'd want to use are discussed in ch. 15 of the 2d ed of my WDM book. The book samples also include some C++ classes that make it very easy to build coinstallers using MFC. -- Walter Oney, Consulting and Training Basic and Advanced Driver Programming Seminars Now teaming with John Hyde for USB Device Engineering Seminars Check out our schedule at http://www.oneysoft.com ****************** WDMAUDIODEV addresses: Post message: mailto:wdmaudiodev@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subscribe: mailto:wdmaudiodev-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=subscribe Unsubscribe: mailto:wdmaudiodev-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe Moderator: mailto:wdmaudiodev-moderators@xxxxxxxxxxxxx URL to WDMAUDIODEV page: http://www.wdmaudiodev.de/ ****************** WDMAUDIODEV addresses: Post message: mailto:wdmaudiodev@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subscribe: mailto:wdmaudiodev-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=subscribe Unsubscribe: mailto:wdmaudiodev-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe Moderator: mailto:wdmaudiodev-moderators@xxxxxxxxxxxxx URL to WDMAUDIODEV page: http://www.wdmaudiodev.de/
