Structure of the Brooktrout PnP Folder
The Brooktrout PnP folder has the following structure:
PnP
| brooktrout.cat
| trxstream.inf
|- TRxStream
| |- x86
| | boston.sys
| | boston.pdb
| | brktBdevpp.dll
| | brktBdevco.dll
| |- x64
| | boston.sys
| | boston.pdb
| | brktBdevpp.dll
| | brktBdevco.dll
Note: It is very important for this folder structure to be maintained
when installed or copied for the Plug and Play to work
correctly. If you change the structure, you must change the
trxstream.inf file.
About the INF File
Brooktrout-supplied INF files (such as trxstream.inf) should be
available in a location readily accessible to Windows®. The INF file
contains important information for Windows® Plug and Play to
work. The primary function is to copy over a driver suitable for the
device that has been discovered. Windows® also offers several
extension activities implemented using the INF file. These activities
can allow the creation of a vendor specific device class, registration
of co-installers, and providing user mode services and device
property pages. We make use of all these features offered by
Windows®.
