Technical Document #54

NOTE: In the following sample, "WinNT" relates to Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000 and Windows XP; "Win98" relates to Windows 98, Windows 98 Second Edition and Windows Me; And "Win95" relates to Windows 95.

To copy WinDriver's kernel file:

  number nvResult, nMajor, nMinor;
  STRING svResult;
  BOOL  bWinNT;
  BOOL  bWin98;
  BOOL  bWin95;
  
  bWinNT = FALSE;
  bWin98 = FALSE;
  bWin95 = FALSE;

  GetSystemInfo(OS, nvResult, svResult);
  if (nvResult  = IS_WINDOWSNT) then
      bWinNT = TRUE;
  else
      if (nvResult = IS_WINDOWS95) then
          GetSystemInfo(OSMAJOR, nMajor, svResult);
          GetSystemInfo(OSMINOR, nMinor, svResult);
          if (((nMajor > 4) || ((nMajor = 4) && (nMinor > 0)))) then
             BWin98 = TRUE;
          else
             bWin95 = TRUE;
          endif;
      endif;
  endif;

  if ((bWinNT = TRUE) || (bWin98 = TRUE)) then
      if (bWinNT = TRUE) then
          TARGETDIR = WINSYSDIR^"drivers";
      else
          TARGETDIR = WINSYSDIR^"..\\system32\\drivers";
      endif;
    
      CompressGet(COMPRESSED_FILE, "windrvr.sys",COMP_NORMAL);
  
  endif;
 
  if (bWin95) then   
       TARGETDIR = WINSYSDIR^"vmm32";
       CompressGet(COMPRESSED_FILE, "windrvr.vxd",COMP_NORMAL);
  endif;

To load WinDriver's kernel and add it to the Registry:

For WinDriver version 5.2 and above:
  LaunchAppAndWait("wdreg_gui",
    "-inf <full path to wd_virtual.inf> reload", WAIT);
  LaunchAppAndWait("wdreg_gui",
    "-inf <full path to your INF file> loadinf", WAIT);

For example:
  LaunchAppAndWait("wdreg_gui",
    "-inf c:\tmp\wd_virtual.inf reload", WAIT);
  LaunchAppAndWait("wdreg_gui",
    "-inf %windir%\inf\my_device.inf loadinf", WAIT);

For WinDriver version 5.0.5b and below:
  LaunchAppAndWait("wdreg", "install", WAIT);
