BixVReader.ini not created after successfully building solution and installing BixVReaderInstaller.msi

[lorens76]

Expected behaviour

What should happen?
I should have found BixVReader.ini at C:\Windows\System32

Actual behaviour

What happens instead?
there is no such file

Logs

below the building logs. The installer apparently leaves no logs.

Do you get the file when installing the binaries from the CI build? https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/1lasvchea9e91su3/artifacts/vpcd_win32.zip or https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/78y74r5tfw78h2ww/artifacts/vpcd_win64.zip respectively.

[lorens76]

Hi. thanks for the quick resonse and congrats for your exciting project.
I have installed the binaries from the CI build and I do not get the file. The behavior is the same. However, the Windows device manager console shows the smart card reader as unknown device.

[frankmorgner]

Sorry for leaving this problem waiting such a long time. I only have temporary access to Windows. As temporary workaround please copy your configuration by hand.

[frankmorgner]

Unfortunately I cannot confirm this behavior. I've tested on Win32, that the latest release as well as the CI build both install C:\Windows\BixVReader.ini. Above, you wrote that you checked System32, could the different path be the problem?

[lorens76]

Hey Thanks for your mail! IT is appreciated, despite the delay. Congratulations on your virtual smart card project. My idea was to actually virtualize smart cards for real, and access them on the cloud with biometric authenticatio (iris?) so that we could store all our digital documents on the could (IDs, Passport, Credit Cards) and only access them from any device when required. It seems too ambitious aparently... I have been off this project for a while, you can kill my request. Thank you again and keep it up!
