You can, however, compile the driver with VBOX_REBOOT_ON_UNINSTALL unset (e.g. handled in IRP_MN_QUERY_STOP_DEVICE) to stop the driver via device/service manager. -Andreas. > I noticed that VBoxDrv on Windows host can't be stopped using command > like this: > net stop vboxdrv > even after changing the service start value to be 3 (on demand). > Is there any particular reason why this driver can't be stopped? > net start vboxdrv (after start, immediately do stop, no use at all) > net stop vboxdrv > sc query vboxdrv > SERVICE_NAME: vboxdrv > TYPE : 1 KERNEL_DRIVER > STATE : 3 STOP_PENDING > (STOPPABLE, NOT_PAUSABLE, IGNORES_SHUTDOWN) > WIN32_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0) > SERVICE_EXIT_CODE : 0 (0x0) > CHECKPOINT : 0x0 > WAIT_HINT : 0x0 > > > > _______________________________________________ > vbox-dev mailing list > [email protected] > http://vbox.innotek.de/mailman/listinfo/vbox-dev
