Hi,
I'm trying to install a smart card reader driver. You can call that a
virtual driver because its not directly accessing the hardware, rather
it uses an Ndis miniport export functions to read/write/isr to hardware.
Hence this works only if Ndis miniport is preset. The problem i'm facing
is how to install both Ndis miniport and SC reader on the same hardware
with the same vendor id and device id. I have tested these drivers,
independently on the same hardware and even together with the help of a
third party NIC, replacing with my Ndis miniport driver.
Now when i plug in the card, the machine detects a new hardware and i
install the Ndis miniport on it. Now i'm trying to forcefully install
the smart card driver using 'Add hardware' wizard. But here when i click
on 'Install from the list of hardware i select', it does not show Smart
card at all though its an existing class in XP. So if i try browsing
through and selecting my own inf, i get the error msg , 'The specified
location does not contain does not contain information about your
hardware'. What is it indicating ? and how do I solve this problem to
install the reader ?
