How to install driver like NDIS on Win XP pro with command line?

Hello,

could anybody tell me how to install a driver like NDIS on windows XP
Pro?

I tried to run this : RUNDLL32.EXE SETUPAPI.DLL,InstallHinfSection
DefaultInstall 128 c:\tmp\ndisprot.inf

and got that:
#-011 Installing section [DefaultInstall] from "c:\tmp\ndisprot.inf".
#E360 An unsigned or incorrectly signed file "c:\tmp\ndisprot.inf" for
driver "Network Protocol" will be installed (Policy=Ignore). Error
0xe000022f: The third-party INF does not contain digital signature
information.
#-024 Copying file "c:\tmp\Ndisprot.sys" to
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\Ndisprot.sys".
#E360 An unsigned or incorrectly signed file "c:\tmp\Ndisprot.sys" for
driver "Network Protocol" will be installed (Policy=Ignore). Error
0xe000022f: The third-party INF does not contain digital signature
information.
#E047 Setting registry key/value: no root specified.
#E065 Parsing AddReg section [Inst_Ndi] in "c:\tmp\ndisprot.inf"
failed. Error 1010: The configuration registry key is invalid.
#E064 Parsing install section [DefaultInstall] in "c:\tmp\ndisprot.inf"
failed. Error 1010: The configuration registry key is invalid.

Please give me a hand.
Thanks

You need to use the InetCfg API to install a network component.

As a starting point I suggest you to have a look at the bindview sample from
the DDK (oops, WDK, I think it's called in the same way there...)

Hope it helps

This is an ndis protocol driver. Follow the instruction on how to install
the driver in the readme file. If you want to programmatically install the
driver then use NetConfig interface to do that.
