I'm having problems installing some drivers and I have tracked the problem down to the pnputil.exe on Windows 8
If I run up the command prompt (in administrator mode) and type: pnputil -e
I get the following response (always):
Microsoft PnP Utility
Enumeration of driver packages failed :The request is not supported.
No published driver packages were found on the system.
This message seems to manifest itself in the actual install dialogs for hardware I'm trying to install but I'm not sure what has gone wrong.
My system is clearly broken in some way, as when I perform the same action on other Windows 8 PCs, I get the expected driver list displayed...
Has anyone got any advice or clues as to what I should do next?
