From: mario_atallah on 12 Aug 2010 09:41 I am trying to use install a custom manufactured HID device on Windows 7 64-bit using winusb.sys. The device installs perfectly using the windows supported HID driver (hidclass.sys). However, I want to install the device using winusb.sys. I've created the driver package (including inf file, coinstallers for 32 and 64-bit OS's, unsigned setup catalog file using inf2cat). The two main errors in setupapi.log are: "Verifying file against specific (valid) catalog failed! (0x00000057) Error 87: The parameter is incorrect. {_VERIFY_FILE_SIGNATURE exit(0x00000057)}" and "Device not started: Device has problem: 0x0a: CM_PROB_FAILED_START.". I can see the device in the device manager but it has the yellow exclamation mark... The error is "The device cannot start (code 10)". Any idea what is going on wrong? Is it because I am trying to use winusb.sys while hidclass.sys is already supported? or something else?

Ask the hardware guys to patch the device's config descriptors, so it will become incompatible with hidusb.sys -- Maxim S.

From: mario_atallah on 12 Aug 2010 10:58 Is there any solution that does not require the harware guys to change anything in the device? In other words, should the HID device be installed normally with winusb.sys even if there is already hidclass.sys?

how did you apply the INF to the installed device? devcon (if so, what cmd line?) or device manager? "mario_atallah" wrote in message news:AF9CBE84-F34D-4C16-A75A-0ADECE389E13(a)microsoft.com...
