Unable to install on Windows XP 32
I tried to install the driver on a Windows XP 32 machine, after fixing the problem described here: https://github.com/guidoreina/ramdisk/issues/1
First I tried using sc create
followed by sc start
.
The create
worked (almost) fine. For some reason the path to the .sys
file was brokenly tranformed to a UNC path in the registry. After I fixed that I went for sc start
.
The start
failed no matter what I did. At first I noticed I had forgotten the infamous WdfCoInstaller
dll. After I fixed that I tried again and this time I got
error 123: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.
This one I did not know how to fix. So I sc delete
d it and went for method 2.
Method 2 was installing using the "add hardware wizard". This one also failed. The installation completes, but it claims there are problems with the driver and it doe not work.
Any ideas?
PS: method 2 (add hardware wizard) works fine with the default MS RamDisk sample.
