Read Installed Device Driver Details (version, install date, path etc), on Win system
Can anyone help p开发者_StackOverflow社区lease in this regard ? What API's can be used from win32 to get installed device drivers details like version, installation date, path where installed ?

The best way is WMI, .NET supports it well with the System.Management namespace. You'll want to use the Win32_SystemDriver WMI class. I copied and pasted this code from WMICodeCreator, a great tool to experiment and auto-generate the code you need:
using System;
using System.Management; // Project + Add Reference required
public class MyWMIQuery {
public static void Main() {
ManagementObjectSearcher searcher =
new ManagementObjectSearcher("root\\CIMV2",
"SELECT * FROM Win32_SystemDriver");
foreach (ManagementObject queryObj in searcher.Get()) {
Console.WriteLine("Driver caption: {0}", queryObj["Caption"]);
}
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
Check out the links I left in this post, Win32_SystemDriver has many other properties beyond "Caption".
You need to consult the Setup API function for driver information.
I recently did something similar (Win32 via .NET). Here are some links that helped me:
