I have a virtual storport miniport driver. I wish to install it on a
Windows 8.1 (x64) system using self signing.
For this I have created the “.inf” file and the driver file (.sys)
compiled for Windows 8.1, 64bit
Using inf2cat the generated the catalog file
Then generated the certificate using makecert
Added the certificate to the trusted root certificate of my Windows 8.1
signed my “cat” file with selfsigned certificate using the signtool
Using devcon, I have tried to install the driver, it gave me an error
“devcon failed”. Before throwing error, it has printed the message “device
node created”. It also asked me whether I trust the “certificate authority”
I have created
In 32 bit Windows 7, I can install this driver *without signing* in test
mode. so I think driver file and inf file are ok.
Further to this I have checked the setupapi.dev.log and found the following
entry -
!!! Failed to create device ID object ‘\root\ABCDFileMount’ Error =
0x000000A1
Any hint is greatly appreciated…

Look up the error code (0xa1 is bad pathname) and then think about the parameters you are passing to devcon.
