Hi..

I have a basic doubt regarding an 'Uninstallation' in the inf files.
The WDK document says that DefaultUninstall is optional, if one needs
to provide in uninstallation functionality.
But most of the drivers do not have Uninstall section in their inf
files, so how does uninstallation takes place (from the device manager
'uninstall' )
I was just want to know how the control is traced once we uninstall
from the device manager, does it access the inf file again, which may
or may not have Uninstall section ( so does it just reverts back
automatically whatever it has uninstalled )

regards,

hi,

I am facing the same problem.
Did you find any way to uninstall directly from inf file using device
manager.
Defaultuninstall will not work for uninstallation from device manager.

No,
I still dont have the solution with me.

The problem Iam facing is with manual uninstallation (using device
manager) does not remove all the files (even those listed on the
'Driver File Details' ).
These files do get removed when using Add/Remove Programs.

So my first ques: does device manager uninstallation does not delete
all files (appln support)

and if yes, is there a workaround?

Regards,

Typically, no, Device Manager will not remove, physically delete, the files
or directories that have been installed for a device driver. Nor will it
remove registry entries, simply marking the main service key as Disabled.
Deleting those items, including the registry keys and the INF files is up to
the discretion of the installer.
