Cannot Install driver #47

Open onurubu opened 6 years ago

onurubu commented 6 years ago

When I try to run the installation wizard for the driver, the installation fails. I have tried installing around 5 or 6 times and it failed every single time. I am trying to install the 64 bit version for windows 10

Is it "just failing" or giving any error message, as to why it fails? Have you installed the Certificate beforehand? I think with some newer Windows Version it is now required and not optional anymore.

Hi Julian, The driver is not installing for me either. I'm trying to install to a clean build of Win10, with Visual C++ 2017 Redist. installed. I've also tried with Visual C++ 2015-2019 Redist installed, but get the same fail.

I run "HID Wiimote Control Centre.exe" and enable Test Mode > Reboot Install Certificate Install Device Driver

On completion of running the Device Driver "._hidwiimote.inf Install failed / Julian Löhr (HIDWiimote) HIDClass (03/15/2018 0.3.0.3) Ready to use"

Upon finishing, a "An error occurred!" message appears, stating: "An error occurred while trying to run the following action: Device Driver. An error occurred while running DPInst.exe!"

I did the reboot through Troubleshooting > Option 7. No change in behaviour.

Please help. Cheers! Rob

@onurubu You need to disable secure boot in your BIOS. That basically blocks any chance of unsigned drivers getting installed. After that, you can run the bcedit command and then install.

I actually don't want to disable secure boot or turn on test mode for windows in order to use the driver, so I will probably wait for a signed version, if that ever comes :/.
