How to create my own TAP driver installer (Windows)

Post by jeremychild » Wed Dec 15, 2010 3:11 am

How do I go about creating my own TAP driver installer?

I need an installer that:
- Installs either 32 or 64 bit (depending on machine)
- Installs silently and gracefully fails on exception
- Only installs the TAP driver, nothing more nothing less.
- Allows me to change the [Strings] in the TAP inf.

Anyone have any ideas?

it is my understanding that you cant modify in a signed driver (like the tap device)
i think you want this:
http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-sourc ... ml?start=1
specificly, this section:
Notes -- Manual Install/Update/Uninstall of the TAP-Win32 kernel driver
