I tried to install the driver on a Windows XP 32 machine, after fixing the problem described here: #1

First I tried using sc create followed by sc start.

The create worked (almost) fine. For some reason the path to the .sys file was brokenly tranformed to a UNC path in the registry. After I fixed that I went for sc start.

The start failed no matter what I did. At first I noticed I had forgotten the infamous WdfCoInstallerdll. After I fixed that I tried again and this time I got
error 123: The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

This one I did not know how to fix. So I sc deleted it and went for method 2.

Method 2 was installing using the "add hardware wizard". This one also failed. The installation completes, but it claims there are problems with the driver and it doe not work.

Any ideas?

PS: method 2 (add hardware wizard) works fine with the default MS RamDisk sample.

Please let us know when can we have an ARM64 version for Windows on ARM OS. We can help you test We have Windows on Rasberry Pi setup. Please pursue it we at Windows on Rasberry Pi community will be glad to extend support in testing your drivers and tools for ARM64.

Is it available on windows 10?

The ramdisk.inx file is using "sane" line endings, i.e., \n

While I do believe the world would be a better place if every body used only \n to end their lines, Windows unfortunately insists on the terrible \r\n combo. So much that the DDK seems to be unable to parse the ramdisk.inx file correctly and the resulting ramdisk.inf ends up no having the variable values replaced.

For instance, this part of the inx file
[CoInstaller_AddReg]
HKR,,CoInstallers32,0x00010000, "WdfCoInstaller$KMDFCOINSTALLERVERSION$.dll,WdfCoInstaller"
remains exactly the same on the inf file. $KMDFCOINSTALLERVERSION$ is still there.
