Problem of installing a WDF driver

NTDEV
1

Hello,

I have a problem of installing of a WDF driver. The platform is Windows2000
SP4.

The driver is developed on base of PLX9x5x example.

I couldn’t complete the installation of the driver. I got the message " The
driver is not installed properly".

Running the WinDbg I got the following message:

WdfCoInstaller: [12/08/2006 22:28.23.070] C:\WINNT\Temp\WdfTemp\WDF.cab has
been extracted to C:\WINNT\Temp\WdfTemp

WdfCoInstaller: [12/08/2006 22:28.25.864] Final status: error(1603) Fatal
error during installation.

The SETUPACT.LOG has following messages:

WdfCoInstaller: [12/08/2006 22:28.23.070] C:\WINNT\Temp\WdfTemp\WDF.cab has
been extracted to C:\WINNT\Temp\WdfTemp

WdfCoInstaller: [12/08/2006 22:28.25.834] Update process returned error code
:error(1603) Fatal error during installation.
. Possible causes are running fre version of coinstaller on checked version
of OS and vice versa

WdfCoInstaller: [12/08/2006 22:28.25.864] Final status: error(1603) Fatal
error during installation.

I tried to use both check and free build versions of the driver.

I had the same problem with my version of NDISprot driver. The sample of
driver is installed fine, but the driver with my own name got the problem
above.

To solve this I just rename back the name of my protocol driver to NDISprot.
Everything started to work fine.

I would appreciate any help.

You are using the checked version of the coinstaller on a non-checked OS. Delete the coinstaller you have been using and use the correct one.

This has nothing to do with whether your driver is built either way- the coinstaller and the OS itself must match (we only provide the checked coinstaller for developers who use checked OS in development of their drivers, you cannot redistribute it).

Bob,

Thank you for your replay.

I was confused with subdirectory \kmdf10\redist\wdf\x86chk. I thought I
should use a file from this directory for a check version of driver not OS.

Thanks again

Igor
