install fail on updated win10 about zfsin HOT 10 CLOSED

I assume you ran cmdline "as administrator". I believe devcon.exe dumps a log file in system32\inf of all places.

It does not work with devcon on Win10 or Win2016 server, you need to manually install the driver.
Right click on the .inf and select INSTALL... then from Devices look for a "Sample" device, reinstall the driver by right click on "Sample" and manually selecting the folder where you have your ZFS files. That worked for me.

It is a little annoying that each Windows PC seems to require different install procedure.. This is the part I know the least about, presumably there must be a simple to use installer-maker app that everyone uses that I should look into. The Windows specific things like that is what i know the least :)

We've always used http://wixtoolset.org. Integrates nicely in to VisualStudio. It was fairly trivial to get it to install, start and stop Windows services but I don't think we used it for our custom driver. I think for that we just right-clicked the INF (but then we were shipping the PCs that needed the driver, not asking users to install it).

But given in can run admin-privileged stuff, I can't see why it couldn't handle driver installation, but will probably need signed drivers at some point. That will be the biggest sticking point for most users.

Cool, I'll have a look at it (and any other suggestions) and it sounds like you are volunteering ! :)

There's a Wix extension http://wixtoolset.org/documentation/manual/v3/xsd/difxapp/driver.html for installing drivers and and and example (albeit old, from 2013) here: https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/573183/EchoInst-An-Example-Wix-Install-of-the-WDK-Echo-Dr

It's something I'd be happy to do but unfortunately time isn't readily available at the moment. But if no-one else gets to first then it's something I could look at doing in the next 2-3 months possibly.

The installer from 20180529 appears to work.

Many fixes in the Install side, there is also a UI Installer using QSetup if people want to try it. I had 50/50 success :)

Is this bug resolved?

from zfsin.

Probably, many changes has been done with installer. If there are still issues, open a new ticket.
