Create a process from a driver

Question

Is there a way to create a user-mode process from kernel-mode on Windows NT platform (XP-W7)?

EDIT: I must install only the driver. This is a specific of the project

Answer 1

This can't be directly done - Creating a win32 process requires some set up by the user mode part of CreateProcess, not just creating the process object in kernel mode.

You need some user mode code here - either a service, a desktop app, or so on, to launch the your user mode application.
