Vendors can provide an INF file to install a WBDI driver.

The following is a list of guidelines for biometric device installation. The code examples in this topic are taken from the WudfBioUsbSample.inx file of the WudfBioUsbSample:

WBDI drivers should specify a class of 'Biometric.' Set ClassGuid equal to the value that corresponds to GUID_DEVCLASS_BIOMETRIC in Devguid.h:
In your .HW section, provide AddReg directives to specify three sections that contain entries to be added to the registry:
Provide the named sections referred to in the .HW section. The [Biometric_Device_AddReg] section sets values for the biometric device, including the exclusive flag and system wake/device idle. To be recognized by Windows Biometric Framework, UMDF-based WBDI drivers must set the 'Exclusive' value to 1. The first two lines of the [Biometric_Device_AddReg] section specify access control list (ACL) rights so that the device can only be opened by an administrator or the local system account. When you specify these ACL rights, third-party applications cannot open the device and capture fingerprint data when the WinBio service is not running. For example:
A WBDI driver that exposes functionality to a legacy (non-WBDI) biometric stack should set the Exclusive value to zero. If this value is set to zero, the Windows Biometric Framework does not attempt to control the device and the device is not exposed through WBF.
Vendors can have a single driver binary that can work with legacy stacks and WBF, but the two cannot operate simultaneously. WBF will only operate if the device can be opened with exclusive access.
The second named section contains registry values for the plug-in adapters. The sample uses the Microsoft-provided sensor adapter and storage adapter. This section also enables Windows log-in support by setting the SystemSensor value:
Finally, the third section sets the following registry values for the database service. The identifying GUID must be unique for each vendor database of a certain format. For instance, in this code example from the sample, change 6E9D4C5A-55B4-4c52-90B7-DDDC75CA4D50 to your own unique GUID in your INF file.
To differentiate WBDI and legacy drivers, vendors must set a Feature Score for the driver in the INX file. Feature Score is not set in the WudfBioUsbSample sample. For more information about setting a Feature Score, see Ranking a Biometric Driver on Windows Update.

For information about INX files and how they differ from INF files, see Using INX Files to Create INF Files.

In order to replace a WBDI driver with a legacy driver, use the following procedure:

Download ekey biometric usb devices drivers

Close all currently active WBF applications.
Uninstall the WBDI driver.
Stop the WBF service, restart it, and then stop it again.
Install the legacy driver.

Installation and troubleshooting steps are described below.

Before Installing

Ensure that you have a valid Windows password, or set one up prior to using fingerprint to sign-in.
Ensure that the PC is connected to the internet.
Ensure that there is no other fingerprint recognition software running.

Connecting the USB reader

Insert the SideTouch into any available USB port. The Windows Plug-and-Play New Hardware Wizard should appear and present you with the option to allow Windows to search for drivers.

Click the pop-up to install
Use the search field on the web page to locate the manufacturer’s driver for your reader by searching the key words:
Type: “BIO-key”
Select: “SideTouch”
Once the driver has downloaded, you must extract the files to a folder on your local hard drive using Microsoft Explorer, 7zip, or other application.
* If you download and extract the driver manually, be sure to remember the location of the driver’s .inf file, as this will be required to successfully install.

To verify the device is properly installed

Open the Windows Device Manager by: Start > Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Device Manager
Ensure that “BIO-key SideTouch” is listed under “Biometric devices”

How do I enroll my fingerprints?
