Run kernel mode driver via NSIS installer
Hello to everyone.

Actually everything is pointed in the subject. I have a simple kernel mode driver (let's call it driver.sys), which just hides a definite folder from the user. I wan't to install it to the system and run via NSIS installer.

So my question: is it possible at all? And if it is, can I add my driver to autoload via installer.

Thank you.


Is it possible that no one knows?!

It's XMas, you can't expect a lot of activity


I'm sure you will find better info about installing drivers in the windows DDK (I'm sure the actual DDK has better info than what they have online, but I found http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms790308.aspx )

first 4 hits for >nsis driver< in google:
