Failed to install driver if remove "root/" before HardwardId

[Anonymous]

Env:
Windows 7 Ultimate
VS 2008

Create a VisualDDK driver project, if I remove “root/” prefix in the hardware id, then compile & launch debug, in the VisualDDK console, I’ll get
Successfully transferred d:WorkspaceVSAnotherCamobjchk_win7_x86i386AnotherCam.sys to casaxp (454K/s)…
Successfully transferred d:WorkspaceVSAnotherCamAnotherCam.inf to casaxp (123K/s)…
Failed to install the driver:
VisualDDK Launcher: aborting launch.
VisualDDK Launcher: Failed to launch AnotherCam.sys

However, if I keep the default HardwareId when creating project, everything will be fine

So, I guess this is a bug

If you do not have the “root” prefix, you need some bus to provide a PDO node with the corresponding hardware ID (e.g. USB). Is the PDO node present in your case?

Hi,
Im having the same problem, no matter what i change though i get the same error:

Failed to install the driver:
VisualDDK Launcher: aborting launch.

Im trying to make a simple driver using the wizard.
The target machine is a 64 bit windows 7 ultimate vmware machine.
Im using visual studio 2008.

It seems to only build the driver if i use the x64 flag for the setenv.bat build flags.

Would appericiate some help please.

Thanks,
Crash

What is your fully hardware ID and which bus are you using as the underlying bus?
