Syntax Error?

[Zebouski]

When running the script from master, like: .\patcher.ps1 "C:\NVIDIA\DisplayDriver\430.64\Win10_64\International\Display.Driver\" I get the following error:

PS C:\Users\zebou\nvidia-kvm-patcher>

I'm getting this when running on files from the latest "430.64-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql.exe" and also the older version I saw you tested on "419.67-desktop-win10-64bit-international-whql.exe"

Test Mode down at the bottom right says Build 17763.rs5_release.180914-1434

Same here. 149.34-nview-desktop-win10-win7-64bit-international-whql Build 17134.rs4_release.180410-1804

I was also looking into this; I ended up resolving it through a 2 step process.

First, while I had installed Visual Studio 2019, I failed to install the Windows SDK and also the SDK tools (not certain the whole SDK is required). I had to go back to the installer and modify my install as shown below:

After that installed, and I restarted for good measure, I also modified the signtool_paths in the script on line 91 to add this string in the first position, as it seems to be the new location for signtool.exe:

'C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\App Certification Kit\signtool.exe'

The script ran successfully after that, but I do not yet know if the modified driver will work.

Addendum: I also had to install the Windows Driver Kit using the instructions provided here to provide the Inf2Cat executable

Hey -

Did you ever get this to run properly on your end? I was able to get the driver to run and install, but on my end its still showing error 43. Running ESXI 6.7u2

Unfortunately, while I was able to get the patching script running, I was unable to prevent the driver from throwing error code 43.
