Unable to install driver via .inf file in Windows 11 #497

Closed jfalava closed 1 year ago

Pre-report checks

Describe the bug I've tried to install the driver via the .inf file. When right-clicked and installed, the window that should apperar with a confirmation of a successful install does not appear. When using RUNDLL32.EXE SETUPAPI.DLL,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132 path-to-inf\infname.inf it just shows an error message with no explanation.

Environment Add your device model, driver type (USB or SPI) and OS version here.

I've tried the Chocolatey driver install and it works with no issue.

For the the trackpad had to be connected for the Windows install to work.

Was able to install release 3979 on my personal PC using the INF file in the zip of the release (downloaded straight from GitHub). On my work PC I encountered the same issue, so I had to install Choclatey and then install the drivers package and it worked right away!

For anyone who's successfully installed on Windows 11, could you provide the steps you took? I've been trying, with no success.

RobertFlatt commented 1 year ago

The only thing that was not clear in the instructions is the trackpad must be connected with a physical usb in order for the install to proceed.

As far as I remember there was no confirmation dialog, just go to windows settings to confirm installation.

I'm trying to connect a 2009 Trackpad 1 which is Bluetooth only (no USB to connect with) - do these drivers work for that device?

Seemed to be a bad Windows 11 installation, as I have tried again in a fresh install and gave me no problems.
