how can I delete registry key value in HKLM
Hey! I write a driver for usb device.
I can call UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices to replace inbox driver with my driver when device is on system. But if device is not on system, I must delete HKLM/CurrentControlSet/ Enum/USB/{ID Value} to force device recgonize when it replug on system. In XP I can delete it, but how can I do it in Vista? Thanks a lot! |

how can I delete registry key value in HKLM
Hello,
Your setup program must ask to be ran "as administrator" in order to perform these functions. Otherwise, Windows Vista will run the program as a standard user, which will not be able to change registry keys under HKLM. Here is a very detailed document explaining how to do this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...asp?frame=true -- - JB Windows Vista Support Faq http://www.jimmah.com/vista/ |

how can I delete registry key value in HKLM
Hi, wrong news group, but please refer to the "devcon" example in the DDK
for performing re-install of devices. Do not delete these keys... One time I spent weeks debugging end-users issues because a driver installer writer of a single unnamed product decided to modify the Enum keys directly! Search for "Device Installs: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" to find a WinHEC 2002 presentation on these issues. - Jamie Hunter [MS] "Rastlin Chen" wrote in message ... Hey!
