DOC: LibraryProcedure DLL Prototype Incorrect ID: Q136681

The information in this article applies to:

• Microsoft Win32 Device Driver Kit (DDK) for Windows NT, version 3.51

SUMMARY

Setup provides LoadLibrary, FreeLibrary, and LibraryProcedure commands to provide a mechanism to add custom procedures to setup scripts.

The LibraryProcedure command provides a way to call an exported function in the specified DLL. This procedure is described in the Windows NT DDK documentation. Drill down to it by following this outline:

Programmers Guide   (2.3.5.1)
    Setup (part 1)
       Chapter 2 - Driver Installation
          GUI INF Script Language
             Using DLLs and External Programs
                DLLs in Install and Shell Sections 

The documentation states the DLL function called by LibraryProcedure must have the following prototype:

BOOL FunctionName(cArgs, lpszArgs[], *lpszTextOut)
            DWORD cArgs;
            LPSTR lpszArgs[];
            LPSTR *lpszTextOut); 

The correct prototype for this function is:

BOOL PASCAL FunctionName(cArgs, lpszArgs[], *lpszTextOut)
            DWORD cArgs;
            LPSTR lpszArgs[];
            LPSTR *lpszTextOut); 

This documentation error has been corrected in the Windows NT DDK version 4.0 documentation.
