Still Image Device Installers
Important
Starting with the WDK for Windows 11, version 22H2, WDF redistributable co-installers are no longer supported. To learn how to work around this change, see WDF redistributable co-installers don't work in the WDK known issues article.
Microsoft provides a class installer for still image devices, with the following features:
WDM PnP detection when a device is installed.
Installation wizard for legacy devices connected to parallel and serial ports.
Support for special INF file entries (see INF Files for Still Image Devices).
Support for vendor-supplied co-installer extensions. For more information, see Writing a Co-installer.
If necessary, vendors can provide customized installation programs that can be used instead of the Microsoft-supplied class installer.
