Hi ,
I am trying to load the drivers on Intel Core 2 duo processor[based on intel extended memory architecture]…I have installed VISTA 64 bit OS on it…
What changes i need to do in .INF file to install my driver on VISTA 64 bits OS machine…???
Because when i install i get a error 39…Any Idea about this problem…I used the
"Windows Vista longhorn x64 build environment " to build my drivers…
thanks ,
Jagadish.
Is it a KMDF driver? If so, then it will only install on Longhorn.
Presently, the 6001 WDK can only be used to build KMDF drivers for
longhorn, because the coinstallers do not support downstream installations.
If this is your issue, just build under the 6000 WDK (Vista RTM). If
not, take a look in \Windows\setupapi.log and see what it says about
your installtion.
Good luck,
mm

Also, please remember that Vista 64 refuses to load a driver that is not
signed. During development you either need to use test signing or disable
signature validation at boot time.
Everything is documented here

One other essential point- x64 in particular requires architecture tags to install drivers.
e.g., you MUST use NTAMD64 in this fashion:
[Manufacturer]
%Me%=MyHardware,NTamd64
[MyHardware.NTamd64]
%MyDevice.DeviceDesc%=MyDeviceInstallSection, Bus\HwID
This became a requirement because folks kept “installing” 32-bit drivers via INF before this requirement came into play [this happened durting betas IIRC]…
Don’t recall the nature of the enforcement mechanism, though [logo req, actual checks at runtime, etc]. One can always experiment if interested, or look it up from a more authoritative source.
