DIFxApp and NDIS IM driver

I'm trying to install an application and NDIS IM driver using DIFxApp on
XP. The protocol .inf is copied to the driver store and installed,
however, the miniport .inf is not copied to the driver store and thus my
driver never binds the miniport. I have even tried this using the
DIFxApp IM driver example with DPINST and get the same result. That is,
the protocol .inf is copied over and installed but the miniport is not.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan

Which version of DIFxApp? 1.0 or 1.1 ?
--PA

I'm using 1.1. The CopyINF directive in the protocol.inf is set to
miniport/miniport.inf. However, I never see the miniport/miniport.inf in
the driver store. Does DIFxApp work for NDIS IM drivers?

Yes it seems that IM drivers are supported.
Have you looked at the IM sample in DifX 1.1?
( ...\SampleDriverPackages\Network.Intermediate )

Yes, for some reason I get the same behavior with that sample. That is,
the protocol INF is copied and installed, yet the miniport never binds.

Pavel,

Things must've gotten messed up on my machine. I uninstalled, then
re-installed the adapter and now I can install the IM sample using
Dpinst. I'm looking to see why my IM won't install now. Thanks for your
help.
