Error installing driver

[danielkucera]

I'm getting following error when trying to install the driver in Win 7 Enterprise x64:

The folder with driver contains following files:

usbip.exe       usbip_test.pfx  usbip_vhci.inf
usbip_stub.sys  usbip_vhci.cat  usbip_vhci.sys

Am I doing something wrong?

I also tried to install it manually but it is still not shown in device manager:

C:\usbip>pnputil -i -a usbip_vhci.inf
Microsoft PnP Utility

Processing inf :            usbip_vhci.inf

I was able to install this one https://github.com/barbalion/usbip-win-client/tree/master/old_signed
and the error message changed to:

usbip: error: walker_devpath: invalid hw id: root\vbdenum

usbip: error: walker_devpath: invalid hw id: root\usbipenum

usbip: error: open vhci driver
usbip: error: read_devbuf: failed to read: err: 0x6

I also reported this error.

@danielkucera :

usbip: error: walker_devpath: invalid hw id: root\vbdenum

This kind of an upper error message is due to that usbip windows implementations(including our usbip-win) have the same device interfaces GUID. You can ignore the error message. usbip-win should another device interface GUID to remove a misleading message.

usbip: error: open vhci driver
usbip: error: read_devbuf: failed to read: err: 0x6

This error means that your system have no VHCI legacy device even though you had installed the usbip-win driver via pnputil. You should install a legacy VHCI device according to README. I can't figure out why you did not install the device through "Add Hardware Device" menu in device manager.

@cezanne you can see in my first post that I tried to install it via dev manager but it shows: folder doesn't contain compatible software driver.
Is it tested with win 7 x64?

@danielkucera :

Is it tested with win 7 x64?

No. The most or all vhci drivers were built against win 10. You should build it against win7. Refer #12.
Or you can try a pre-built vhci driver. (a little bit old version) In #57, I had uploaded vhci for win7 .

This has worked but sometimes freezes my PC. Thanks.
