Exact Windows version and build number?

nefarius commented 3 years ago

Do you have this file on your system C:\Windows\System32\advapi32.dll and if so, what version? See screenshot:

Hi, having the same issue. My version of file mentioned above: "10.0.19041.610"

nefarius commented 3 years ago

Sigh great, what broke now...

nefarius commented 3 years ago

I'll provide a new (hopefully fixed) setup in a few. In the meantime please use this Microsoft tool to get rid of the now broken installation.

nefarius commented 3 years ago

@dejdyla @GlydetheSurfer could you please test these and report back. Bear in mind you still need to rip out the broken installation first.

Cheers

nefarius commented 3 years ago

I'd need some feedback on this one 😬

dkasanic commented 3 years ago

worked for me. Thank you!

nefarius commented 3 years ago

Sweet, thanks. Gonna swap out the official downloads soon 😊

dkasanic commented 3 years ago

Oh sorry, the official one worked somehow worked for me. I actually haven't tried one you send here. Will try them ASAP.

Update: Nevermind. Sorry for the confusion, I did tried the one you send here, just forgot about it and has been away from laptop for quite time.

nefarius commented 3 years ago

I've updated the MSIs - yet again - on the release page. Hopefully for the last time now 😅

Happy New Year! 🎉

Having a hard time believing that... The driver just being present on the system literally does nothing 🤔

I'll test it out soon and report back here

I am having this issue with both the x64 version as well as x86. I also tried the two you posted to vigem.org with no success. The windows tool to clean out installations was not able to find any remaining registry files from the install. The failure page I got from the install was "Nefarius Virtual Gamepad Emulation Bus Driver Setup Wizard ended Prematurely" which is a page on the wizard itself. It says it made no changes to my system.

I'm happy to provide more information or test things if needed.

Information:

After installing visual studio 2019, the desktop c++ environment, and the wdf the installation was successful.

nefarius commented 3 years ago

@bsget so the installation failed on you, not the removal? With the MSIs provided in the latest release?

bsget commented 3 years ago

Yes, I had VS 2019 installed already, but it was an older version. I went to install with the MSI and it failed on me. I installed the newer VS 2019 (including the desktop dev with C++ workload) and also installed the WDF. Then restarted and re-ran the installer MSI and it worked.

There were no issues with the removal and I never had to use the removal tool you linked as the MSI installer failed gracefully.

nefarius commented 3 years ago

Very weird, so the VCRedist package is missing and it still complains. Good to know, will address in next release. Wanna get rid of the devcon binary anyway.

well ...I didn't have any issues until after installing it. I'm guessing it was conflicting with another controller emulation driver I installed before

nefarius commented 3 years ago

What do we do with this issue here, I consider it fixed?
