INF AddService directive
Note
This directive is not used in INF files that install devices that do not require any drivers, such as modems or display monitors.
An AddService directive is used within an INF DDInstall.Services section or INF DefaultInstall.Services section. It specifies characteristics of the services associated with drivers, such as how and when the services are loaded, and any dependencies on other underlying legacy drivers or services. Optionally, this directive also sets up event-logging services for the device.
[DDInstall.Services]
AddService=ServiceName,[flags],service-install-section
[,event-log-install-section[,[EventLogType][,EventName]]]
...
Entries
ServiceName
Specifies the name of the service to be installed. The name should be unique enough that it is unlikely to conflict with a service installed by a different INF file. For example, the service name could include a brief abbreviation of your company name as a prefix or suffix. This name must not be localized. It must be the same regardless of the system's local language.
flags
Specifies one or more (ORed) of the following system-defined flags, defined in Setupapi.h, expressed as a hexadecimal value:
0x00000001 (SPSVCINST_TAGTOFRONT)
Move the named service's tag to the front of its group order list, thereby ensuring that it is loaded first within that group (unless a subsequently installed device with this INF specification displaces it). INF files that install exclusively PnP devices and devices with WDM drivers should not set this flag.
0x00000002 (SPSVCINST_ASSOCSERVICE)
Assign the named service as the PnP function driver (or legacy driver) for the device being installed by this INF file.
To indicate that a service is the function driver for a device, the service should specify the SPSVCINST_ASSOCSERVICE flag in the AddService directive. For a service such as a filter driver or other driver component, the flag should not be used.
Every device driver INF should have exactly one associated service. The INF does not require an associated service if it is an Extension INF or uses the Include/Needs directives to inherit the associated service from another INF. For devices that do not require a function driver, the NULL driver can be specified as the associated service as follows:
AddService = ,2
0x00000008 (SPSVCINST_NOCLOBBER_DISPLAYNAME)
Do not overwrite the given service's (optional) friendly name if this service already exists in the system.
0x00000010 (SPSVCINST_NOCLOBBER_STARTTYPE)
Do not overwrite the given service's start type if this named service already exists in the system.
0x00000020 (SPSVCINST_NOCLOBBER_ERRORCONTROL)
Do not overwrite the given service's error-control value if this named service already exists in the system.
0x00000040 (SPSVCINST_NOCLOBBER_LOADORDERGROUP)
Do not overwrite the given service's load-order-group value if this named service already exists in the system. INF files that install exclusively PnP devices and devices with WDM drivers should not set this flag.
0x00000080 (SPSVCINST_NOCLOBBER_DEPENDENCIES)
Do not overwrite the given service's dependencies list if this named service already exists in the system. INF files that install exclusively PnP devices and devices with WDM drivers should not set this flag.
0x00000100 (SPSVCINST_NOCLOBBER_DESCRIPTION)
Do not overwrite the given service's (optional) description if this service already exists in the system.
0x00000400 (SPSVCINST_CLOBBER_SECURITY) (Windows XP and later versions of Windows)
Overwrite the security settings for the service if this service already exists in the system.
0x00000800 (SPSVCSINST_STARTSERVICE) (Windows Vista and later versions of Windows)
Start the service after the service is installed. This flag cannot be used to start a service that implements a Plug and Play (PnP) function driver or filter driver for a device. Otherwise, this flag can be used to start a user-mode or kernel-mode service that is managed by the Service Control Manager (SCM).
0x00001000 (SPSVCINST_NOCLOBBER_REQUIREDPRIVILEGES) (Windows 7 and later versions of Windows)
Do not overwrite the privileges for the given service if this service already exists in the system.
0x00002000 (SPSVCINST_NOCLOBBER_TRIGGERS) (Windows 10 Version 2004 and later versions of Windows)
Do not overwrite the triggers for the given service if this service already exists in the system and has existing triggers. See the AddTrigger directive below for more information on triggers.
0x00004000 (SPSVCINST_NOCLOBBER_SERVICESIDTYPE) (Windows 10 Version 2004 and later versions of Windows)
Do not overwrite the SID info for the given service if this service already exists in the system and has existing SID info. See the ServiceSidType directive below for more information.
0x00008000 (SPSVCINST_NOCLOBBER_DELAYEDAUTOSTART) (Windows 10 Version 2004 and later versions of Windows)
Do not overwrite the delayed auto start value for the given service if this service already exists in the system and has an existing value. See the DelayedAutoStart directive below for more information.
0x00020000 (SPSVCINST_NOCLOBBER_FAILUREACTIONS) (Windows 11 version 22H2 and later versions of Windows)
Do not overwrite the failure actions for the given service if this service already exists in the system and has existing failure actions. See the FailureActions directive below for more information on failure actions.
0x00040000 (SPSVCINST_NOCLOBBER_BOOTFLAGS) (Windows 11 build 25381 and later versions of Windows) Do not overwrite the boot flags value for the given service if this service already exists in the system and has an existing value. See the BootFlags directive below for more information.
service-install-section
References an INF-writer-defined section that contains information for installing the named service for this device (or devices). For more information, see the following Remarks section.
event-log-install-section
Optionally references an INF-writer-defined section in which event-logging services for this device (or devices) are set up.
EventLogType
Optionally specifies one of System, Security, or Application. If omitted, this defaults to System, which is almost always the appropriate value for the installation of device drivers.
For example, an INF would specify Security only if the to-be-installed driver provides its own security support.
EventName
Optionally specifies a name to use for the event log. If omitted, this defaults to the given ServiceName.
Remarks
The system-defined and case-insensitive extensions can be inserted into a DDInstall.Services section that contains an AddService directive in cross-operating system and/or cross-platform INF files to specify platform-specific or OS-specific installations.
Each INF-writer-created section name must be unique within the INF file and must follow the general rules for defining section names. For more information about these rules, see General Syntax Rules for INF Files.
An AddService directive must reference a named service-install-section elsewhere in the INF file. Each such section has the following form:
[service-install-section]
[DisplayName=name]
[Description=description-string]
ServiceType=type-code
StartType=start-code
ErrorControl=error-control-level
ServiceBinary=path-to-service
[StartName=service-start-name]
[AddReg=add-registry-section[, add-registry-section] ...]
[DelReg=del-registry-section[, del-registry-section] ...]
[BitReg=bit-registry-section[,bit-registry-section] ...]
[LoadOrderGroup=load-order-group-name]
[Dependencies=depend-on-item-name[,depend-on-item-name]
[Security="security-descriptor-string"]...]
[RequiredPrivileges=privilege-name[,privilege-name]...] (Windows 7 and later versions of Windows)
[ServiceSidType=value] (Windows 10 Version 2004 and later versions of Windows)
[DelayedAutoStart=value] (Windows 10 Version 2004 and later versions of Windows)
[AddTrigger=service-trigger-install-section[, service-trigger-install-section, ...]] (Windows 10 Version 2004 and later versions of Windows)
[FailureActions=service-failure-actions-install-section] (Windows 11 version 22H2 and later versions of Windows)
[BootFlags=value] (Windows 11 build 25381 and later versions of Windows)
Each service-install-section must have at least the ServiceType, StartType, ErrorControl, and ServiceBinary entries as shown here. However, the remaining entries are optional.
Service-Install Section Entries and Values
DisplayName=name
Specifies a friendly name for the service/driver, usually, for ease of localization, expressed as a %strkey% token defined in a Strings section of the INF file.
Description=description-string
Optionally specifies a string that describes the service, usually expressed as a %strkey% token defined in a Strings section of the INF file.
This string gives the user more information about the service than the DisplayName. For example, the DisplayName might be something like "DHCP Client" and the Description might be something like "Manages network configuration by registering and updating IP addresses and DNS names".
The description-string should be long enough to be descriptive but not so long as to be awkward. If a description-string contains any %strkey% tokens, each token can represent a maximum of 511 characters. The total string, after any string token substitutions, should not exceed 1024 characters.
ServiceType=type-code
The type-code for a kernel-mode device driver must be set to 0x00000001 (SERVICE_KERNEL_DRIVER).
The type-code for a Microsoft Win32 service that is installed for a device should be set to 0x00000010 (SERVICE_WIN32_OWN_PROCESS) or 0x00000020 (SERVICE_WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS). If the Win32 service can interact with the desktop, the type-code value should be combined with 0x00000100 (SERVICE_INTERACTIVE_PROCESS).
The type-code for a highest level network driver, such as a redirector, or a file system driver, should be set to 0x00000002 (SERVICE_FILE_SYSTEM_DRIVER).
The SERVICE_xxxx constants are defined in Wdm.h and Ntddk.h.
StartType=start-code
Specifies when to start the driver as one of the following numeric values, expressed either in decimal or, as shown in the following list, in hexadecimal notation.
0x0 (SERVICE_BOOT_START)
Indicates a driver started by the operating system loader.
This value must be used for drivers of devices required for loading the operating system.
0x1 (SERVICE_SYSTEM_START)
Indicates a driver started during operating system initialization.
This value should be used by PnP drivers that do device detection during initialization but are not required to load the system.
For example, a PnP driver that can also detect a legacy device should specify this value in its INF so that its DriverEntry routine is called to find the legacy device, even if that device cannot be enumerated by the PnP manager.
0x2 (SERVICE_AUTO_START)
Indicates a service started by the service control manager during system startup.
This value should never be used in the INF files for WDM or PnP device drivers.
0x3 (SERVICE_DEMAND_START)
Indicates a service started on demand, either by the PnP manager when the corresponding device is enumerated or possibly by the service control manager in response to an explicit user demand for a non-PnP device.
This value should be used in the INF files for all WDM drivers of devices that are not required to load the system and for all PnP device drivers that are neither required to load the system nor engaged in device detection.
0x4 (SERVICE_DISABLED)
Indicates a service that cannot be started.
This value can be used to temporarily disable the driver services for a device. However, a device/driver cannot be installed if this value is specified in the service-install section of its INF file.
For more information about StartType, see Specifying Driver Load Order.
ErrorControl=error-control-level
Specifies the level of error control as one of the following numeric values, expressed either in decimal or, as shown in the following list, in hexadecimal notation.
0x0 (SERVICE_ERROR_IGNORE)
If the driver fails to load or initialize, proceed with system startup and do not display a warning to the user.
0x1 (SERVICE_ERROR_NORMAL)
If the driver fails to load or initialize its device, system startup should proceed but display a warning to the user.
0x2 (SERVICE_ERROR_SEVERE)
If the driver fails to load, system startup should switch to the registry's LastKnownGood control set and continue system startup, even if the driver again indicates a loading or device/driver initialization error.
0x3 (SERVICE_ERROR_CRITICAL)
If the driver fails to load and system startup is not using the registry's LastKnownGood control set, switch to LastKnownGood and try again.
If startup still fails when using LastKnownGood, run a bug-check routine. (Only devices/drivers necessary for the system to boot specify this value in their INF files.)
ServiceBinary=path-to-service
Specifies the path of the binary for the service, expressed as %dirid%\filename.
The dirid number is either a custom directory identifier or one of the system-defined directory identifiers described in Using Dirids. The given filename specifies a file already transferred (see the INF CopyFiles Directive) from the source distribution media to that directory on the target computer.
StartName=service-start-name This optional entry specifies a start name that should be associated with the service. If type-code specifies 1 (SERVICE_KERNEL_DRIVER) or 2 (SERVICE_FILE_SYSTEM_DRIVER), this name is the driver object name that the I/O manager uses to load the driver. If type-code contains the bit 0x00000010 (SERVICE_WIN32_OWN_PROCESS) or 0x00000020 (SERVICE_WIN32_SHARE_PROCESS), this name can be one of the valid values for the lpServiceStartName parameter of the CreateService API.
AddReg=add-registry-section[,add-registry-section]...
References one or more INF-writer-defined add-registry-sections in which any registry information pertinent to the newly installed services is set up. For more information, see INF AddReg Directive.
DelReg=del-registry-section[,del-registry-section]...
References one or more INF-writer-defined del-registry-sections in which pertinent registry information for an already installed services is removed. For more information, see INF DelReg Directive.
This directive is almost never used in a service-install-section, but it might be used in an INF that "updates" the registry for a previous installation of the same device/driver services.
BitReg=bit-registry-section[,bit-registry-section]...
Is valid in a service-install-section but almost never used.
LoadOrderGroup=load-order-group-name
This optional entry identifies the load order group of which this driver is a member. It can be one of the "standard" load order groups, such as SCSI class or NDIS.
In general, this entry is unnecessary for devices with WDM drivers or for exclusively PnP devices, unless there are legacy dependencies on such a group. However, this entry can be useful if device detection is supported by loading a group of drivers in a particular order.
For more information about LoadOrderGroup, see Specifying Driver Load Order.
Dependencies=depend-on-item-name[,depend-on-item-name]... Each depend-on-item-name item in a dependencies list specifies the name of a service or load-order group on which the device/driver depends.
If the depend-on-item-name specifies a service, the service that must be running before this driver is started. For example, the INF for the system-supplied Win32 TCP/IP print services depends on the support of the underlying (kernel-mode) TCP/IP transport stack. Consequently, the INF for the TCP/IP print services specifies this entry as Dependencies=TCPIP.
A depend-on-item-name can specify a load order group on which this device/driver depends. Such a driver is started only if at least one member of the specified group was started. Precede the group name with a plus sign (+). For example, the system RAS services INF might have an entry like Dependencies = +NetBIOSGroup,RpcSS that lists both a load-order group and a service.
Security="security-descriptor-string"
Specifies a security descriptor, to be applied to the service. This security descriptor specifies the permissions that are required to perform such operations as starting, stopping, and configuring the service. The security-descriptor-string value is a string with tokens to indicate the DACL (D:) security component.
For information about security descriptor strings, see Security Descriptor Definition Language (Windows). For information about the format of security descriptor strings, see Security Descriptor Definition Language (Windows).
For more information about how to specify security descriptors, see Creating Secure Device Installations.
RequiredPrivileges=privilege-name[,privilege-name]...
Note
This value can only be used for Win32 Services and is only available on Windows 7 and above.
Each privilege-name in the list is the name of a privilege that the service requires. See Privilege Constants (Windows) for a list of the privilege names. For each privilege name, only the text name is required. For example, the privilege name should be written as "SeAuditPrivilege" but not SE_AUDIT_NAME.
For more information on service required privileges, see SERVICE_REQUIRED_PRIVILEGES_INFO (Windows).
ServiceSidType=value
Note
This value can only be used for Win32 Services and is only available with Windows 10 Version 2004 and above.
This entry can use any valid value as described in SERVICE_SID_INFO.
DelayedAutoStart=value
Note
This value can only be used for Win32 Services and is only available with Windows 10 2004 and above.
Contains the delayed auto-start setting of an auto-start service.
If this member is 0x0, the service is started during system boot. Otherwise, the service is started after other auto-start services are started plus a short delay.
This setting is ignored unless the service is an auto-start service.
For more information, see this page.
AddTrigger=service-trigger-install-section [, service-trigger-install-section, ...]
Specifies the trigger events to be registered for the Win32 service so that the service can be started or stopped when a trigger event occurs. For more information about service trigger events, see Service Trigger Events.
Each named service-trigger-install-section referenced by an AddTrigger directive has the following format:
[service-trigger-install-section]
TriggerType=trigger-type
Action=action-type
SubType=trigger-subtype
[DataItem=data-type,data]
...
BootFlags=value
Note
This value can only be used with kernel-mode driver services and is only available with Windows 11 build 25381 and above.
Optionally specifies when the operating system should promote a driver's StartType value to 0x0 (SERVICE_BOOT_START). You can specify one or more (ORed) of the following numeric values, expressed as hexadecimal values.
0x1 (CM_SERVICE_NETWORK_BOOT_LOAD) Indicates the driver should be promoted if booting from the network.
0x2 (CM_SERVICE_VIRTUAL_DISK_BOOT_LOAD) Indicates the driver should be promoted if booting from a VHD.
0x4 (CM_SERVICE_USB_DISK_BOOT_LOAD)
Indicates the driver should be promoted to if booting from a USB disk.0x8 (CM_SERVICE_SD_DISK_BOOT_LOAD)
Indicates the driver should be promoted if booting from SD storage.0x10 (CM_SERVICE_USB3_DISK_BOOT_LOAD)
Indicates the driver should be promoted if booting from a disk on a USB 3.0 controller.0x20 (CM_SERVICE_MEASURED_BOOT_LOAD) Indicates the driver should be promoted if booting while measured boot is enabled.
0x40 (CM_SERVICE_VERIFIER_BOOT_LOAD)
Indicates the driver should be promoted if booting with verifier boot enabled.0x80 (CM_SERVICE_WINPE_BOOT_LOAD)
Indicates the driver should be promoted if booting to WinPE.
Service-Trigger-Install-Section Entries and Values
TriggerType=trigger-type
Specifies the service trigger event type in one of the following numeric values, expressed either in decimal or, as is shown in the following list, hexadecimal notation:
0x1 (SERVICE_TRIGGER_TYPE_DEVICE_INTERFACE_ARRIVAL)
Indicates that event is triggered when a device of the specified device interface class arrives or is present when the system starts.
For more information, see SERVICE_TRIGGER structure.
Action=action-type
Specifies the action to take when the specified trigger event occurs.
0x1 (SERVICE_TRIGGER_ACTION_SERVICE_START)
Start the service when the specified trigger event occurs.
0x2 (SERVICE_TRIGGER_ACTION_SERVICE_STOP)
Stop the service when the specified trigger event occurs.
For more information, see SERVICE_TRIGGER structure.
SubType=trigger-subtype
Specifies a GUID that identifies the trigger event subtype. The value depends on the value of the TriggerType.
When TriggerType is 0x1 (SERVICE_TRIGGER_TYPE_DEVICE_INTERFACE_ARRIVAL), SubType specifies the GUID that identifies the device interface class.
For more information, see SERVICE_TRIGGER structure.
DataItem=data-type, data
Optionally specifies the trigger-specific data for a service trigger event.
When TriggerType is 0x1 (SERVICE_TRIGGER_TYPE_DEVICE_INTERFACE_ARRIVAL), an optional DataItem may be specified with a data-type of 0x2 (SERVICE_TRIGGER_DATA_TYPE_STRING) to scope the device interface class to a specific hardware ID or compatible ID.
For more information, see SERVICE_TRIGGER_SPECIFIC_DATA_ITEM structure
The best practice for using the AddTrigger directive is to trigger start the service on device interface arrival. For more information, see Win32 Services Interacting with Devices.
Note
AddTrigger syntax is only available in Windows 10 Version 2004 and forward.
FailureActions=service-failure-actions-install-section
Optionally specifies the action the service controller should take when a service fails.
The service control manager counts the number of times each service has failed since the system booted. The count is reset to 0 if the service has not failed for reset-period seconds. When the service fails for the Nth time, the service controller performs the action specified in element N of the Action list. If N is greater than the number of Actions, the service controller repeats the last action in the list.
The service-failure-actions-install-section referenced by a FailureActions directive has the following format:
[service-failure-actions-install-section]
[ResetPeriod=reset-period]
[NonCrashFailures=value]
Action=failure-action-type,delay
[Action=failure-action-type,delay]
...
Service-Failure-Actions-Install-Section Entries and Values
ResetPeriod=reset-period
Specifies the time after which to reset the failure count to zero if there are no failures, in seconds. The failure count is not reset by default when a reset period is not specified.
For more information, see SERVICE_FAILURE_ACTIONSW structure.
NonCrashFailures=value
Contains the failure actions flag setting of a service. The setting determines when failure actions are to be executed. A value of 0x0 indicates False and a value of 0x1 indicates True.
For more information, see SERVICE_FAILURE_ACTIONS_FLAG structure (winsvc.h).
Action=failure-action-type,delay
Specifies an action that the service control manager can perform. Multiple Action entries form an ordered list of failure actions.
For more information, see SC_ACTION structure.
Note
FailureActions syntax can only be used for Win32 Services and is available starting in Windows 11, version 22H2.
Specifying Driver Load Order
The operating system loads drivers according to the service-install-section StartType value, as follows:
During the boot start phase, the operating system loads all 0x0 (SERVICE_BOOT_START) drivers.
During the system start phase, the operating system first loads all WDM and PnP drivers for which the PnP manager finds device nodes (devnodes) (whether their INF files specify 0x01 for SERVICE_SYSTEM_START or 0x03 for SERVICE_DEMAND_START). Then the operating system loads all remaining SERVICE_SYSTEM_START drivers.
During the auto-start phase, the operating system loads all remaining SERVICE_AUTO_START drivers.
For more information about Dependencies, see Specifying Driver Load Order.
Promoting a Driver's StartType at Boot Depending on Boot Scenario
Depending on the boot scenario, you can use the BootFlags registry value to control when the operating system should promote a driver's StartType value to 0x0 (SERVICE_BOOT_START). You can specify one or more (ORed) of the following numeric values, expressed as a hexadecimal value:
0x1 (CM_SERVICE_NETWORK_BOOT_LOAD) indicates the driver should be promoted if booting from the network.
0x2 (CM_SERVICE_VIRTUAL_DISK_BOOT_LOAD) indicates the driver should be promoted if booting from a VHD.
0x4 (CM_SERVICE_USB_DISK_BOOT_LOAD) indicates the driver should be promoted to if booting from a USB disk.
0x8 (CM_SERVICE_SD_DISK_BOOT_LOAD) indicates the driver should be promoted if booting from SD storage.
0x10 (CM_SERVICE_USB3_DISK_BOOT_LOAD) indicates the driver should be promoted if booting from a disk on a USB 3.0 controller.
0x20 (CM_SERVICE_MEASURED_BOOT_LOAD) indicates the driver should be promoted if booting while measured boot is enabled.
0x40 (CM_SERVICE_VERIFIER_BOOT_LOAD) indicates the driver should be promoted if booting with verifier boot enabled.
0x80 (CM_SERVICE_WINPE_BOOT_LOAD) indicates the driver should be promoted if booting to WinPE.
The service-install-section has the following general form:
[service-install-section]
AddReg=add-registry-section
...
[add-registry-section]
HKR,,BootFlags,0x00010003,0x14 ; CM_SERVICE_USB3_DISK_BOOT_LOAD|CM_SERVICE_USB_DISK_BOOT_LOAD
Note
This syntax should be used only in Windows versions and builds older than Windows 11 build 25381; for Windows 11 build 25381 and later, use the BootFlags directive.
Registering for Event Logging
An AddService directive can also reference an event-log-install-section elsewhere in the INF file. Each such section has the following form:
[event-log-install-section]
AddReg=add-registry-section[, add-registry-section]...
[DelReg=del-registry-section[, del-registry-section]...]
[BitReg=bit-registry-section[,bit-registry-section]...]
...
For a typical device/driver INF file, the event-log-install-section uses only the AddReg directive to set up an event-logging message file for the driver. This event-logging add-registry-section has the following general form:
[drivername_EventLog_AddReg]
HKR,,EventMessageFile,0x00020000,"path\IoLogMsg.dll;path\driver.sys"
HKR,,TypesSupported,0x00010001,7
In particular, the section adds two value entries in the registry subkey created for the device/driver, as follows:
The value entry named EventMessageFile is of type REG_EXPAND_SZ, as specified by the FLG_ADDREG_TYPE_EXPAND_SZ value 0x00020000. Its value, enclosed in double quotation marks ("), associates the system-supplied IoLogMsg.dll (but it could associate another logging DLL) with the driver binary file. Usually, the paths to each of these files are specified as follows:
%%SystemRoot%%\System32\IoLogMsg.dll
%%SystemRoot%%\System32\drivers\driver.sys
The value entry named TypesSupported is of type REG_DWORD, as specified by the FLG_ADDREG_TYPE_DWORD value 0x00010001.
For drivers, this value should be 7. This value is equivalent to the bitwise OR of EVENTLOG_SUCCESS, EVENTLOG_ERROR_TYPE, EVENTLOG_WARNING_TYPE, and EVENTLOG_INFORMATION_TYPE, without setting the EVENTLOG_AUDIT__XXX_ bits.
An event-log-install-section can also use the DelReg directive to remove a previously installed event-log message file, by explicitly deleting the existing EventMessageFile and TypesSupported value entries, if a driver binary is being superseded by a newly installed driver. (See also INF DelService Directive.)
While a BitReg directive is also valid within an INF-writer-defined event-log-install-section, it is almost never used, because the standard value entries for device driver event logging are not bitmasks.
