The driver work fine in full Windows Server 2008 R2, but doesn't work in Server Core

Hello!

I try to add the unsigned bus emulator driver (vusbbus.sys) to Windows Server 2008 R2 Core. In full Windows Server 2008 R2 it is work fine, and installation (after bcdedit .exe /set TESTSIGNING ON) has passed successfully.

In Server Core (all systems is x64) i install driver as follow:

C:\Temp\emu_x64>pnputil -i -a c:\temp\emu_x64\vusbbus.inf

Pnputil tell me that everything is all right, but when I enter: driverquery - I don't see this driver.

In setupapi.dev.log I have seen the next strings:

sto: {Import Driver Package: exit(0x00000000)} 11:35:11.815
inf: Opened INF: 'c:\temp\emu_x64\vusbbus.inf' ([strings])

inf: Published Inf Path: C:\Windows\INF\oem0.inf
inf: Opened INF: 'c:\temp\emu_x64\vusbbus.inf' ([strings])

! inf: Error 11: An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.
<<< Section end 2011/12/01 11:35:11.878

What is it ? And how to fix this problem ?

Hi,

 

Try Core Configurator. If the issue continues, try to contact the manufacturer of the device to check the compatibility of the driver.

 

Core Configurator 2.0 (x64)

I don't like the Core configurator. It kills the spirit of GREAT COMMAND PROPMT :)

Hi,

 

If the command prompt doesn’t work, Core Configurator is a workaround.

I've tried Core Configurator and command prompt - the same thing it wasn't installed.

DONT C:\Temp\emu_x64>pnputil -i -a c:\temp\emu_x64\vusbbus.inf

THIS C:\Temp\emu_x64>pnputil -a -i c:\temp\emu_x64\vusbbus.inf

1) step one: 'add driver to driver base'

2) step two: 'install them'

Hi,

Since the original issue is for years. I would suggest you could post a new thread.

Thanks for your understanding.

Regards.
