Driver installation and deinstallation

To install and/or uninstall the drivers during application deployment or deinstallation, use the functions exported by Installer DLL that is included within Callback File System package. This DLL can be freely distributed with your projects as long as it is used with the licensed version of Callback File System.

To install or uninstall the drivers from your main application use the calls in Callback File System API: InstallDriver and UninstallDriver.

Required Permissions

By default installation and deinstallation of the driver can be performed from the user account which belongs to Administrators group. This is a security measure of Windows operating system. You can change this behaviour on the target system by adjusting the list of users and groups who have the right to install and uninstall the drivers. This can be done in Control Panel -> Administrative tools -> Local Security Settings -> Local Policies \ User Rights Assignment (tree branch), there you need to change "Load and Unload device drivers" item. No need to say that by default you can change the security settings if you are system administrator.
