Installation/Removal problem

NTDEV
1

Hi,

My Registry has problems. I have a USB device that fails to install now. My
operating system is Vista x86 Business Edition.
Here’s what I did to get it into that state. This was a working driver
before installing VS2005 SP1.

I installed VS2005 SP1, compiled a driver, installed it. It failed !! I
uninstalled VS2005 SP1, compiled the driver, and tried to install it and I
get the same failure.

Any ideas?

My setupapi log returns (0xe000020e) in one of the exit codes, but DpInst
says it succeeded. I am unable to get the entried removed from the registry
also.

Roll your system back (using system restore) to a point before your driver
would not install and try installing it again.

You are going to have to provide more information about the install failure

  • for example clear out setupapi.log (and actually this file has moved in
    vista) before the install, the install the driver, then the only entries in
    setupapi.log are the ones from your driver install, and you can post them
    here.

Any related entries in the system event logs?

Does your driver even get loaded?

ERROR_DI_DO_DEFAULT is defined as
(APPLICATION_ERROR_MASK|ERROR_SEVERITY_ERROR|0x20E) which boils down to
0xe000020e and probably is not significant.
