How to avoid installation warnings when no driver is needed? |
|
|
I have a SCSI device with the device class (peripheral device type)
0x1F = unknown device. The only application communicating with this
device uses the SPTI interface. It works fine. Communication with the
device doesn't require any additional driver to be installed.
The only problem is that as soon as XP or Server 2003 senses the
device for the first time it demands that a driver be installed. If I
reject such a demand and check the "don't ask this question again"
box, everything works, but Server 2003 pops up the Help wizard to
teach how to avoid driver installation problems in the future.
I tried to create an .INF file which will not actually install the
driver. But when I do this, an annoying message pops up, saying that
my driver has not been signed and device installation is dangerous. If
I ignore the message and continue installation everything works fine.
All this warnings look bad on the customer side. Is there any way to
avoid the warnings? |
