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.

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.

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,

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.
