Device Driver Installation on Virtual PC XP mode

Hi,
I am having Windows 7 Professional setup. I have installed Windows Virtual PC XP Mode on it. I need to access USB for connecting my Windows Embedded device with Visual Studio Platform Builder which has installed in XP mode. Using USB over network
tool i have tried to make the USB device to be accessible from XP mode and tried to install APX USB driver in Virtual PC.
I got this notification from the installation setup "Could not start the Hardware" . Also checked this USB device installation with other XP pc. There it worked fine.
Is there any option to make the USB device accessible from virtual PC ?
Best Regards,
Dinesh

Hi,
The USB device might need to be redirected:
We may take a look at the following article about USB device usage in Virtual PC:
Use a USB device in a virtual machine
To redirect a USB device to a virtual machine
Attach the device to the physical computer and turn on the device.
From the virtual machine window, click USB and then click
Attachdevice name. Windows looks for and tries to install the device driver in the guest operating system. You also can install the driver from the Internet or from a CD.
After the driver is installed, you can use the USB device from within the virtual machine the same way as you would on a physical computer. However, USB devices that are connected using these steps are not shared, so they must be released from one operating
system to be available for use on the other operating system.
To make the USB device available on the host operating system, release it from the virtual machine. From the virtual machine window, click
USB and then click Releasedevice name.

Multiple USB Device Driver Installations Failing

Windows 7 64 Bit / MSI P965 Platinum Mother Board
I have three USB driver installations failing. I believe this is related to ' USB', because installations of other software unrelated to USB devices install just fine. Might it be a Windows Installer Service, appears to be running fine?
Failing Device Driver Installations;
1) IOGEAR USB 3 PCIe card
Problem: The installer runs part way through the "Preparing to install' process and goes into limbo. I have tried three USB cards by different manufacturers and get the same problem. Tried several Renesas installers, all failed.
Microsoft Windows Installer says: 'Stopped working. Files that help describe the problem: AppCompat.txt, WERInternalMetadata.xml, WERDataCollection failure'.
2) APC Battery Backup 'PowerChute' Software
Problem: : The installer runs part way through the "Preparing to install' process and goes into limbo -or- I get an error message telling me to check the USB connection. APC cable is pulgged into a native port, not a hub. APC has no solution.
3) Logitech Harmony One Remote Software (Finally installed in 'Safe' Mode
Error: : The installer runs part way through the "Preparing to install' process and goes into limbo, but, when I went into 'Safe Mode' the software installed properly. Installation of the other two examples yield the Windows 'can't be installed in safe mode'
Help Appreciated - IM

To rule out a Windows problem, have you tested with a fresh parallel installation?

Mtp device driver installation on nokia 5800 fails

when i connect my nokia 5800 in media transfer mode, windows try to find the drivers for the mtp device, but it always fails no matter what i have tried. i need to fix this.
Greece Nokia X6 RM-559 v40.0.002

Hi,
I have gotten my Nokia 5800 to work in all connection types.
Firstly, I had updated my phone to the latest firmware available to me via NSU (v31.0.101), and made a back up of my contacts and memory card.
1. Uninstalled Nokia PC suite, Cable driver, and PC connectivity (might not have got the exact names right).
2. Ran the Nokia PC suite cleaner.
3. Restarted the PC.
4. Formatted the memory card.
5. Did a hard reset on the phone (green button + red button + camera button - until country selection pops up during the power up of the phone)
6. Installed Nokia PC suite (latest version).
7. Connected the 5800 to the PC in the default connection, and let all the drivers install.
All the drivers, including the MTP USB device driver installed successfully. To be on the safe side, I changed the connection type from the phone toall the different connections to make sure it installed.
Also run the app update application first before restoring backups and re-installing applications.
Let me know if this helps.
Thanks.

Device Driver Installation

I am trying to install Measurement Studio to develop a new app for work. However when I was installing it the installer required for device driver and I already download it and extract it.
The installer keep giving me the "The specified folder does not contain the correct volume" error. Where ever I change my path it keep showing the same error. So what's the exact path for the folder? or is there any mistakes I made while installing?
Or can anyone just walk me through the correct way to install..? Because I am really confused and lost.
I was using the Visual Studio Express 2012 and I download Measurement Studio 2013 and Device Driver Augest 2013 as it required.
Please let me know if you need any futher information.

Hi cocohot,
Take a look at this Knowledge Base article that explains in more detail what support Measurement Studio has for Visual Studio Express.
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/3EA27E75A342A9EF8625723B007343ED?OpenDocument
It also gives you some good next steps that you'll need in order to manually add files for Measurement Studio.
Hope this helps.

Synaptics Pointting device Driver installs on an Desktop machine while deploying Windows 7X64 using MDT 2013 Update 1

I am deploying Windows 7X64 on Dell OptiPlex 990 and other desktops. Deployment goes fine but the Synaptics pointing device driver gets installed after the deployment is complete. Also after applying operating system I get a prompt to Run the Synaptics Pointing
Driver setup twice. If I don't click yes to install the TS wont proceed. Its gets worse when I uninstall the Synaptics Device Driver from Appwiz.Cpl and reboot the machine the Keyboard fails with the error Code:29. Above is the screenshot of what I get after
Applying Operating System step. Thanks in Advance.

I have also encountered this in MDT 2013 Lite Touch deployments for Windows 8.1 and I am researching it.
I noted that the Synaptics driver was installed for "SmBus" in Device Manager for a motherboard with an Intel 7 Cxxx Series chipset (Dell Optiplex desktop). The HardwareID's are all PCI\VEN8086...
We use %Model% in our task sequence and have a folder for each model such as "Optiplex 7010" in Out-of-Box Drivers.

How to make Automatically Device driver installation in Win 7/WIn 8 when using RNDIS in Windows Compact

We are developing a precision instrument that measures Temperature, Pressure and humidity used in the pharmaceutical industry.
The Instrument is based on Windows Embedded Compact (7.0)
WE establish a TCP communication vi a USB connection. This is done by the RNDIS Driver.
When we connect the instrument to a PC we have to do the following in Windows:
http://developer.toradex.com/knowledge-base/how-to-install-microsoft-rndis-driver-for-windows-7
The INF that is used is then C:\Windows\inf\rndiscmp.inf
We want this to be executed automatically
The way it is automated is by setting the correct entry’s in the registration database on the Instruments. In Windows CE registration database.
On
http://www.usb.org/developers/defined_class we think we must set Base Class = EFh, SubClass = 04h and Protocol = 01h.
But how is this done in the registry on the device?
Who can help me :-)

Hi Mads,
changes in "rndisfn.h" in public folder have no influance on your project, because those files are not built at all. Visual Studio will use this one anyway (which is already built): C:\WINCE700\public\common\oak\target\armv7\retail\rndisfn.dll
To make use of Microsoft public code, you have to clone this code - that is copy selected source files to BSP folder and adjust DIRS files to include new data in the compilation process.
To clone RNDIS component, copy rndis folder from C:\WINCE700\public\common\oak\drivers\UsbFn\class
to C:\WINCE700\platform\YOUR_BSP\Src\COMMON\USBFN.
Edit source file C:\WINCE700\platform\YOUR_BSP\Src\COMMON\USBFN\rndis\rndisfn\sources:
DOSYSGEN=1
TARGETDEFNAME=RNDISFN
TARGETNAME=RNDISFN
TARGETTYPE=DYNLINK
DLLENTRY=_DllEntryCRTStartup
SOURCES= \
rndisfn.cpp \
TARGETLIBS= \
$(_COMMONSDKROOT)\lib\$(_CPUINDPATH)\ndis.lib \
$(_COMMONOAKROOT)\lib\$(_CPUINDPATH)\ceddk.lib \
$(_SYSGENSDKROOT)\lib\$(_CPUINDPATH)\coredll.lib
SOURCELIBS=\
$(SG_OUTPUT_ROOT)\platform\$(_TGTPLAT)\lib\$(_CPUINDPATH)\rndismini2.lib \
$(_PUBLICROOT)\common\oak\lib\$(_CPUINDPATH)\ufnclientlib.lib
Finally, edit C:\WINCE700\platform\YOUR_BSP\Src\COMMON\USBFN\dirs to include your new component (folder) in the build process:
DIRS=\
RNDISKITL \
RNDIS \
System will build now new rndisfn.dll, which will replace the original one in the public directory. I hope I didn't forget anything...

MyCloud unit asking to install device driver?

I see a seemingly undocumented "Install" option when viewing my MyCloud device locally on the LAN using Windows Explorer (under Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit) Click on "Network" in Windows Explorer's left pane; the computers + other devices Windows found on the network appear in the right paneThe MyCloud unit actually has two entries (icons), one under "Media Devices" and one under "Storage", but both behave the sameRight-click the icon and the first (and default) item in the pop-up menu is "Install" (having the little shield to indicate that it needs administrative access to run). If run, Windows tries to install a device driver, but that installation failed; Windows showed a "device driver installation was not successful" message stating that no driver could be found. The Windows event log showed that there were several prior steps involving a "UMbus" driver and service that _were_ successful.After "installation", that first/default choice in the right-click menu changes to "Uninstall" and whatever "uninstallation" it does completes with no errors reported. Just curious - what is that device driver - and is it actually needed for anything? Thanks,Richard

Installing just icons shouldn't need anything to do with the UMbus service or device enumeration on that "bus"... Wonder if it's something that could apply to WD storage devices that are accessible both directly-connected by USB and via a network (wired or wireless) - such as some of the "My Passport" devices - and has erroneously been (partially) included in whatever properties information the MyCloud device broadcasts or gives out when polled by a PC's "network discovery"? But local access to the shared folders or the device's dashboard certainly doesn't need that driver, so I shall just ignore it. :-) Regards,Richard

User Mode Block Device Driver

Hi,
I want to write a block device driver in user mode so that the read and write calls from the FileSystem comes to user mode component than a regular kernel mode driver.
why i want to do this ... because I want to pass on the data coming to another apps and the data is near real time and large. So, I can't keep the block driver in kernel mode and do transfer of data from kernel mode to user mode.
Can this be done ... ? I have been looking at various things but nothing comes close. Any hints will be helpful.
Thanks
Tarrot .

Well. The 2 user apps cannot talk directly as User APPs2 only understands block I/O requests as input so it has to have a FS over it which is ext3. User APPs1 is an application that runs over FS and writes to it like windows explorer.
The Problem is I am not able to find a way to write a user mode block driver. Why I want this to be user mode so that I can interface to Virtual disk below which is a user mode application, i.e. User Apps2.
I can write a kernel mode block driver there but it would not be efficient as I will have to push it from kernel mode to user mode for userapps2.
I hope it explains....

OpenVPN installation - cant install TAP-Win32 device driver

Hi all, ok ive tried openvpn forums, and getting no joy, so im trying here.
I have recently configured a pfsense server for VPN, and am testing out the OpenVPN
client on a few users. I have installed OpenVPN and it is up and running like a dream on all the users PC's its been tried on, OS's being windows XP, and windows 7.
However today when installing it on a users laptop, on XP sp3, it will not install the TAP-Win32 device driver.
During installation an error box appears;
"error occurred installing the TAP-Win32 device driver"
The login account does have administrative rights, (right clicking the install file and selecting run-as the selected user has admin rights), and I have tried the previous version openvpn-2.rc19, still has same problem (read on another forum this solved the problem for someone)
Any suggestions ? Much appreciated.

After downloading, install using administrator permission(right-click and run as administrator)
The openvpn will install and automatically the TAP will install too. After installation, restart your computer and its SOLVED!!!

Create additional installer error code -12 file not found from device driver cd

I'm trying to build an installer for a project that includes several NI drivers - specifically NI-DMM. NI-SCOPE, NI-SWITCH, NI-845x, and a few others (MAX, DAQ, etc). When I build the software standalone (and only include the run-time engine), it works fine. However, when I try to build the installer with the additional installers (mentioned above), the build prompts me for device driver cds, and then fails. Specifically, it fails on the February 2006 Device Driver cd. The error is attached below.
I have tried
- repairing all the installations of the software mentioned
- using a new project and re-adding the files
- building the additional installers seperately (no source code installed)
- copying the driver cds to the harddrive and referencing them there when needed
The next step will be to reinstall all of those drivers from scratch, but I really would prefer not to. Does anyone have any ideas (or solutions) regarding this problem?

I have had this happen a lot espescially with LV 8.0 -8.20. What I had to do was take the device drivers CD and copy it to the and run the installation of the software from the copy on the hard disk.
When you build an exe with additional installers it looks at the last place that you installed the drivers from. Anyway it worked for me so it might work for you.

Do I have to activate AHCI mode on a Mountain Lion after a new SSD drive installation?

Hello All,
Do I have to activate AHCI mode on a Mountain Lion after a new SSD drive installation?
I have a new Corsair GT SSD sata 3 drive on my mack book, I have read on corsair web page that is good tho activate the AHCI and TRIM but I cant find information about how to do this on OS X.
Thank you all

That's information for non-Apple hardware. You can activate TRIM using third-party software: TRIM Enabler 2.2. However, most new SSDs should not need TRIM activated on the Mac.

Windows 7 RC installation on MacBook Pro: 'DVD drive device driver missing'

I'm trying to install the Windows 7 RC on my unibody MacBook Pro (purchased november 2008). I create the partition in Boot Camp, insert the install DVD, and restart the system. Then the Windows setup starts as it's supposed to (Windows is loading files). The install program launches fine, and I get to choose language settings.
And now it all fails. After I've chosen language settings, I get the message: "A required CD(DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now."
Screenshot of the message: http://img25.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dsc00102yyh.jpg
I'm kinda baffled by this message. Obviously the drive can be use by the install program, but it still complains of a missing driver. I had no trouble installing the Windows 7 beta earlier this year.
I've done some googling, and it appears to be problem experienced by some others. Someone had the issue on an Asus machine (I think), and the solution was to download the driver and out it on a USB stick. But I can't seem to find the driver for the MBP DVD drive anywhere.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?

After countless days trying to solve this problem, I feel I can now add to the few solutions presented on the various forums of the internet. I'll post here because 1: i'm a mac user for everyday life although like most have as many pc's as well. 2: I already have a login for these forums!
okay so i tried everything from re-burns to usb install (which I could not complete because removable drives are not recognized by xp and I don't have a vista system). The problem for me ended up being because the DVD drive was plugged into the primary master ide channel. My hard drive for the unit i was installing windows on is sata and was configured as such (not bridged into IDE channel by bios). So in a nutshell it seems like the hard drive and the DVD drive are nit picky in regards to the IDE configuration of the drives themselves. This won't help for virtualization on a mac pro I realize but nonetheless is food for thought hopefully for all the people searching for " windows 7 install cd/dvd device driver missing " in their search engine!
Oh boy one more reason to love mac's
