passthru install???

Have anyone successfully install passthru driver by using command line in
Devcon?
I'm using this command
devcon -r install c:\Passthru\Inf\netsf.inf ms_passthrump
it always return: devcon failed.

Does Devcon support passthru installation?

thanks,
ttan

You cannot use DevCon to install NDIS drivers.

Instead, use the DDK BindBiew sample application to install NDIS drivers -
including PassThru.

Good luck,

No wonder I couldn't install it and nothing in devcon doc said it not
applicable for NDIS drivers.

Thanks for you reply.

Is BindView any better than snetcfg ... since they both use INetCfg?

It's certainly more recent and more maintained, and IIRC there were some
installation bugs related to IM driveres in snetcfg... It's been so long
that I don't really remember any more, but you'd be well advised to ditch
the old stuff if you're working on new code.

To clarify- You can install NDIS miniport drivers using devcon. You can not
install NDIS IM, Protocol and NDIS LW Filter drivers using devcon.
