UMDF: "Device not started" Error after installation

Hi,

I have a problem installing my virtual serial com port driver on few computers, on XP and Vista.

after installation with devcon finished successfully, In device manager the driver has the error :
This device cannot start. (Code 10)

in setupapi.log i get this error:
Device not started: Device has problem: 0x0a: CM_PROB_FAILED_START.

I think it’s something with the port being used, although I see that it gets the next unused port.

One more thing, when building the driver (with build -ceZ) on the computers it does work there are not warnings, but on the ones it does not work on, there is a warning but it does not create .wrn file (How is that possible??).

What warnings, exactly?

Tim,
As I said there is no .wrn file so I don’t know what is the warning. devcon does not show any details about this warning, just tells there is one.

Sorry, I meant the compilation( build -ceZ) not devcon (which finishes with no error or warning).

How about cutting-and-pasting the results from “build -ceZ” and “dir”,
and maybe the contents of “sources”?

What’s the difference between the two build windows? Is one amd64 and one x86? One checked and one free?

Peter, they are exactly the same, both x86 and both free, I’ll make sure though …

Tim, I’ll cut-and-paste it here on Sunday (not at work now).

Have you checked %windir%\setupact.log? Does the coinstaller log say anything about requiring a reboot?
Also, you can try using “devcon -r”, which will automatically reboot your system, if it’s required and see whether the driver is working after the reboot.
