devcon.exe failed

[nanderer]

hi,

i tried it with your powershell, which is a pain in the * to get it running because of security stuff, and it did not work

just flashing window and it was gone

than i tried it on my own

PS C:\tools\SoftU2FDaemon-SCD-win10-x64-11\SoftU2F-Win-driver-v2023-03-18> .\devcon.exe install .\SoftU2FDriver.inf Root\SoftU2F
devcon.exe failed.

i tried it within cmd and failed to

C:\tools\SoftU2FDaemon-SCD-win10-x64-11\SoftU2F-Win-driver-v2023-03-18>devcon.exe install SoftU2FDriver.inf Root\SoftU2F
devcon.exe failed.

then i realized that you may need elevated privileges, i wrote a new script, made a link, checked run as admin and that finally worked.

maybe you should incorparate something like this or at least write en step by step install.md and link it in your main readme file

regards

@github i am uploading a zip whats the problem?

if github dosnt want it then ill do some round and round we go "down/uploading"

amd even without "devcon.exe failed" i get

its win server 19 (winver 1809) here, maybe thats the problem, would be grate if you made a system that checks winver and runs accordingly...

btw devccon messages are
Device node created. Install is complete when drivers are installed...
Updating drivers for Root\SoftU2F from C:\tools\SoftU2FDaemon-SCD-win10-x64-11\SoftU2F-Win-driver-v2023-03-18\SoftU2FDriver.inf.
Drivers installed successfully.

i assumed no errors... or am i wrong, again, maybe a detailed step by step guide could help with an extensive FAQ with all common issues
