Error in inf

NTDEV
1

HI All,
I was trying to find discription of error that i got from setupapi.dev file. The error number is 80360059. I was searching for this and I couldnt find anywhere what this error means. Can anybody tell me what this error code means and where will i find the error discription of such kind.

I did find a Driver Package Compatibility for Windows Vista doc (dated 2006 Nov)which had explaination for similar errors, but not this one.

Show us the actual log lines, including a dozen or so lines on either
side of the error. Perhaps context will help us pinpoint this.

Well, I was hoping something would jump out, but there are no clues
here. It seems to have succeeded in phase 1 of the copy – copying to a
temporary location – and failed during phase 2 of the copy –
committing to the driver store.

Are you logged in as an administrator?

Hi Tim,
Yaa I have logged in as administrator and I did lot of driver installations before with same log in so thats not the problem.
I was wondering What that error code really is, I didnt find any documentation on error code, just found one guy asking same question question in some other forum without any replies to his mail.
Let me dig more and see if I get any clue.

Thanks again

It seems there can be something wrong with your INF file. If I’m not
mistaken, the error indicates a missing key in some section or missing
or invalid required field for a key. Try to run ChkInf. If it doesn’t
help, enable more verbose Setup API logging so it will be visible which
operation failed. IIRC it is somewhere in the registry, Google can help.

Are you installing a KMDF driver? If so, you could also take a look at setupact.log and wdf0100XInst.log (e.g. wdf01007Inst.log).

Hi Skaramush,
Nope this is a pure WDM driver, No KMDF stuffs here, One of my next try is to write KMDF driver now. Hope atleast it would load.

9

is CHKINF latest or updated?,if it is i will use it

10

is there a new version of CHKINF available or people just stopped using it. I get this message when i use it.
" The ChkInf tool does not verify the WDF sections and directives of the INF file. "

The current version of chkinf does not verify WDF sections- the one for the Win7 WDK will. I don’t know what the rest of your comment refers to, but we’ve never told anyone the tool worked with these- in fact we’re generally very specific that it does not.

The answer to BOTH questions is “no”. The WDF sections are pretty easy
to check by hand, but chkinf is still incredibly valuable in validating
the rest of the INF file. Writing proper INF files is a fine art, and
there are a lot of ways to get them wrong.
