Title: About Driver
Post by: Corsair on June 22, 2009, 02:38:40 PM
I've seen than the driver is installed on windows\system32\drivers (x86 & x64 versions)

does it means that the driver is 32bits (for both versions)??

please correct me if I'm wrong, and now I can not remember how could I saw it.

I don't know why they didn't changed the name to \driver64, probably something to do with compatibility.
The driver is 64 bit.. ;D otherwise it will not install.

What happens; The driver is copied into that directory. Next the installer starts the real installer (windows driver installer) WdfCoInstaller01007.dll, that actually installs the driver. Does all the installation, registry things etc
