WdfCoinstaller problem

Hi there!

I'm just started to work with WDF but i can't get my driver to work, because
the wdf coinstaller fails. I'm trying to install to WinXP SP2 hungarian free
build
From setupact.log:
WdfCoInstaller: [12/17/2007 00:57.57.109] Update process returned error code
:error(61452) <no error text>.

I've extracted Microsoft Kernel-Mode Driver Framework
Install-v1.7-Win2k-WinXP-Win2k3.exe from WdfCoinstaller01007.dll and run it
manually. It extracts some files to a temporary directory in my case to
f:\something\ and in f:\something\update\update.exe fails with a message
saying that "The f:\something\update\update.inf file is not correct." That
file is there, however i have no idea what it should contain, and to be
honest it is far out of my scope if interest.

Have you any idea how to fix this issue? Am i doing something wrong?

Thanks in advance!

I had also a problem by installing WDF driver for 1394 device but I don't
think that we
have the same problem, because I had the code error C0000005.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WdfCoInstaller: [] Update process returned error code
:status(C0000005) <no error text>. Possible causes are running free version
of coinstaller on checked version of OS or vice versa. Look at the Kmdf
documentation as to what steps need to be followed to install the correct
versionof the coinstaller.

There is some article about install errors of wdf driver. Perhaps it helps
you further:

In my case, I just tried to install my driver on another mashine and it
worked. (I don't know why but it is so....)

Thanks, but i've already read those articles. The only thing i've learned is
that there are losts of misterious thing going on during kmdf framework
install. I don't think i can debug thoose. I've read it somewhere that
different language versions could cause the problem, so i'll try to install
the english version of xp, but other than that i don't have any options.
Well, and that's also a temporary solution while i work on the driver. What
should i do with the release version? Frustrating.

Which version of the WDK did you use, most of the Server 2008 WDK's did not
support installing WDF on any OS except 2008. I think the RC1 version may
have lifted this restriction.

Er... now i'm a little confused. I have version 6001_17048 dated 12/03/07.
There is now RC1 ver 6001_17051 12/05/07 on the ms connect site. Do you say
it worth a try? But if it has a restriction because it is a Server 2008 WDK
is there an XP WDK i've somehow missed, or what? (Well, i have ver 2600 of XP
DDK from msdnaa but that's not really up to date.)
