Problems deploying a kmdf driver

1
votes

I've been trying to compile and deploy the sample keyboard filter supplied by Microsoft using visual studio 2012 tools. I have the target computer setup via a serial cable (virtualbox with a serial cable, seems to be working since the setup process managed to install everything on the target computer).

The sample code compiles fine, but when I attempt to deploy it, it starts by telling me that it is deploying, takes a while, and then declares that it has failed with the following error:

error : Driver Deployment Task Failed: Default Driver Package Installation Task (possible reboot)

Anyone know what could be going wrong?

Thanks in advance.

i don't know how to fix this problem. But i guess your settings for deployment is this in driver package's package property pages:

in the left pane of the Package Property Pages window, Configuration Properties > Driver Install > Deployment, you selected Install and Verify in the Driver Install Options part of the right pane. If i hit, then you should select Hardware ID Driver Update and input your driver's hardware id. You can find that in your driver's inf file which is generated by vs2012.

You may find this http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh439665(v=vs.85).aspx is useful for u, especially the Deploying and installing the driver part of that site.
