Production-ready setup creation documentation

Remarks

  • Driver and setup version numbers are decoupled as setup might require updates independently of driver logic changes.

Build & submission preparations

  1. Update/ensure correct Driver Version Number in StampInf of the projects.
  2. Update/ensure correct version details in *.rc files.
  3. Build drivers and tools in Release configuration for x64 and x86 architectures.
  4. Production-sign drivers and tools to ensure authenticity of origin.
  5. Run sign.cmd which will create the two *.cab files in the disk1 folder and sign them.
  6. Upload *.cab files to Partner Portal.
  7. Request signatures, wait and pray.
  8. Download signed files and extract drivers directory directly into this directory.
  9. Optional: Re-create *.cat files to support Windows 7 in addition to 10 (causes confirmation prompt to appear!):
    • x64: Inf2Cat.exe /driver:"." /uselocaltime /os:7_X64,10_X64,Server10_X64,10_AU_X64,Server2016_X64,10_RS2_X64,ServerRS2_X64,10_RS3_X64,ServerRS3_X64,10_RS4_X64,ServerRS4_X64
