SetupDiSetDeviceRegistryProperty failure

Hi,

The following (XP DDK devcon sample) series of API calls ends with failure:

DeviceInfoSet = SetupDiCreateDeviceInfoList(Net Class GUID, 0)
SetupDiCreateDeviceInfo(DeviceInfoSet, (char *)class_name, &class_guid,
NULL, 0, DICD_GENERATE_ID, &DeviceInfoData)
SetupDiSetDeviceRegistryProperty(DeviceInfoSet, &DeviceInfoData,
SPDRP_HARDWAREID, (LPBYTE)hw_id, strlen(hw_id) + 2)

The last call fails and GetLastError indicates : The parameter is invalid


What can possibly fail this series of API calls , which definitely worked
for on most occasions.

Thanks,
Gadi.

Have you enabled setupapi logging?

Yes,

I added

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup\LogLevel
0x8000ffff

And the setupapi.log didn't contain any valuable information except the name
of the command I run.

Please advise on how to proceed with this.
Thanks,
Gadi.

Please first change your name in the newsgroup reader profile from
"msnews.microsoft.com" to "Gadi Naor". Just imagine how you would feel if
everybody starts using the same name.

Thanks.

I think you are mixing unicode and ansi version functions. Try chaning the
strlen to lstrlen in the code below.
