Did you compile devcon from it's source, or use it from the "tools" directory of the DDK install directory. As for the HWIDs, don't let the term "hardware ID" fool you, virtual devices still have hardware ID's. In the MSVAD inf some examples of HWIDs are "*MSVADSimple", "*MSVADMulti", etc. ....Chris |
