From: Stnaire on 1 Sep 2010 07:01 Hi, I'm trying to install the mirror driver sample given in the WDK 7.0 (rev 7600.16385.1) but I'm unable to execute the .inf file. I tried the following ways : - Right click -> install Error : "The INF file you selected doest not support this method of installation" - Using the device manager -> Add legacy hardware -> on Display adapter -> select the path to mirror.inf Error : "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for you device". - Using DevCon.exe by doing "devcon install mirror.inf Microsoft_Mirror_Sample1" Error : "devcon failed". - I tried all of this after doing "Bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks ON" but it does not change anything. - I tried to install it on Windows XP 32bits it work perfectly. I remind that I'm running on a 64bits version of windows 7. Thanks for your help. Regards.
From: Julien Pinto on 1 Sep 2010 09:56 Some new informations. I've found that the problem comes because the .inf file given in the WDK is for x86 system-based, so I tried to "convert" it to x64 by decorating [Manufacturer]. Now by the device manager I can see the driver and try to install it by it still fail. The error return is "The required line was not found in the INF" Any help ? Thanks.

From: Moulefrite on 2 Sep 2010 11:58 Hi, I guess your .inf file is wrong. Verify the if you have added in section [manufacturer] the "AMD64" sub-section. For example in the inf File: [manufacturer] %MOULEFRITE%=Moulefrite,NTamd64 ; x86 [Moulefrite] %USB\VID_0000%PID_9999.deviceDesc%=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX ; x64 [Moulefrite.NTamd64] %USB\VID_0000%PID_9999.deviceDesc%=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX ..... ..... For me I have sucessfully installed my driver like this. If you use Seven or Vista 64, don't forget to disable signature verification. "bcdedit /xxxxxxx" command didn't work for me. For disable, reboot your PC, press F8 and select "disable signature verification" I hope to help you ps : sorry for my bad level in english Regards, "Stnaire" wrote: > Hi, > > I'm trying to install the mirror driver sample given in the WDK 7.0 (rev > 7600.16385.1) but I'm unable to execute the .inf file. > > I tried the following ways : > > - Right click -> install > Error : "The INF file you selected doest not support this method of > installation" > > - Using the device manager -> Add legacy hardware -> on Display adapter -> > select the path to mirror.inf > Error : "The folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software > driver for you device". > > - Using DevCon.exe by doing "devcon install mirror.inf > Microsoft_Mirror_Sample1" > Error : "devcon failed". > > - I tried all of this after doing "Bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks ON" > but it does not change anything. > > - I tried to install it on Windows XP 32bits it work perfectly. > > I remind that I'm running on a 64bits version of windows 7. > > Thanks for your help. > > Regards.
From: Julien Pinto on 2 Sep 2010 13:37 Thanks for your reply, I finally figured out this problem. I did all that you say but the copy of .sys and .dll was still failing. So I copied them manually and now it works. Thanks for your help.

If you want use the right click of mouse and use the install item, you must have in the .inf file a [DefaultInstall] section. Perhaps, if you try to install a driver on a operative system of a version not the same, only some part or none are used, and the install process does not succeed. For example, if you have adapted the .inf file decorating only the manufacturer section, you could have left out other sections as those that copy the files.. and the installation will be not complete. I hope to be useful.
