Chapter 20. How to Install WDF Drivers
Drivers must be installed before they can be used—either by the developer to test and debug the driver or by the end user who wants to use the related device. The procedures for installing a driver are distinctly different from those that are used to install applications.
This chapter discusses how to create a WDF installation package—including driver signatures—and how to install the package.
