I do not quite understand your question, what do you really want
to achieve?

Do you mean you want to know the VID/PID (Vendor ID and
Product ID) of a particular USB Mass Storage Device? In order
to use libusb-win32, you have to use libusb-win32 device driver
or filter driver, in that case, you will have to know the VID/PID
(the GUI wizard will tell you as well).

If you want to know the VID/PID of all USB Mass Storage Device,
then you have to use the class filter driver which we do not
recommend to be used. In that case, libusb-win32 is probably
not the right solution.

There is no libusb-win32 function name to get that.

As answered before, you have to tell us what you really
want to achieve.

Re: Hardware ID from usb-stick

Beside the fact that it is not a libusb question and therefore off-topic,
there exists 3 methods to gather additional hardware information, including
the serialnumber which you are probably looking for
1. acting only on attaching the device
2. dealing with the registry
3. using the device and setup manager API

To 1. You have to listen to the WM_DEVICECHANGE message, which will be send
only to registered applications via RegisterDeviceNotification function. In
the WM_DEVICECHANGE you can access the full device name, which includes the
serialnumber

To 2. The registry HKLM\system\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USBSTOR\ contains all
information, you have to iterate thru all keys and values. Not recommended
since key meaning may not the same in all versions of windows

To 3. You have to implement tons of function from the SetupAPI, maybe there
exists some C code which encapsulate the stuff to a simple Device
enumeration function.
