Replace Vista inbox driver; such as i8042prt.sys

[alectsai]

I made my own version of i8042.inf out of original keyboard.inf and the i8042.sys is signed.

But got error to add the driver installation package to the driver store after issue "pnputil -a i8042.inf".

(setupapi.dev log)

Anybody know how to modify keyboard.inf to let it only install i8042prt.sys? (excluded kbdclass.sys)

To install this i8042.sys also need to issue devcon to remove the original i8042prt.sys.

But what are the VEN# & DEV# for this device?

The main topic is how to replace the inbox driver for Vista.

Thanks.
