Adding devices to registry with the help of hal

[Christian Gmeiner]

Hi all,

I want you to present my current proof-of-conecpt. It shows how we can use
hal.c of explorer to
create registry keys for devices.
Keep in mind that it only creates one registry key for each usb device at
the moment. Before I
investigate more time in this, I want to get some feedback about my method.
If you are happy with it, I will finish this suftt :)

Greets,
Christian

Hi Christian,

+        /* [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USB\Vid_13fe&Pid_1a00\
*/
+        sprintf(reg_key, "%s%04x&Pid_%04x", usb_key, pid, vid);

I think you mix up pid and vid here.

I don't think you shouldn't create the registry keys directly.  You
should be using the SetupDi APIs instead, I think.  That should make
getting all the fiddly little details right a little easier.
