I am trying to get started with KMDF I downloaded everything and have been able to compile and link things, but so far I have not been able to get a driver installed. I tried to install the echo example, but whether I try add new hardware or Devcon, all I get is a message that said it failed. Is there any way to find out what is missing or wrong?
See setupapi.log and setupact.log in your windows or windows\inf directory,
depending on the OS version. Then search for the errors you find using your
favorite search engine.

If you are on vista, %windir%\inf will contain setupapi.app.log and
setupapi.dev.log. Also, you may want to look at %windir%\wdf*.log if
the setup logs do not show anything obvious. If you need more info in
the setup logs, read this
http://blogs.msdn.com/doronh/archive/2006/08/04/686662.aspx on how to
increase the verbosity.
