Re: Issue with Uninstallation of a driver using inf file

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.

Re: Issue with Uninstallation of a driver using inf file

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,

Re: Issue with Uninstallation of a driver using inf file
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.
