Hi Richard,
   
  Any updates for the use of KSPROPERTY_GENERAL_COMPONENTID in Vista?
   
   
  Thanks!
  Kenny.

  This is going to cause problems for our customers, too. We allow the 
customer to change the device name after installation so they can easily 
identify each card in a multi-card installation. Some customers have 4 (or 
more) cards, so you can see why this is important. It was easy to do this 
on XP with KSPROPERTY_GENERAL_COMPONENTID; we just change the associated 
MediaCategories\\Name value when the user does a "Rename", and all the 
APIs pick it up.

If we need to do something different on Vista, we can do that. We just need 
to know what to do.

Thanks for looking into this, Richard.
