Driver Installation in Device Manager (yellow Explanation Mark)

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

Need urgent help. We have console based driver installation EXE which is developed through DDK API.

On my PC two network adapter card inserted (D-Link) in two PCI slot.

When i am installing both Network Adapetr PCI Ethernet throgh my application, It install driver properly.

But in Device manager it shows 2 Network Adpater Card (D-Link) properly installed

but one extra Network Adpater Card(D-Link) entry is there with yellow mark (black exclamation) [This device cannot start. (Code 10)].

Why this third extra driver entry viewing in Device manager.

Entry in Device Manager :

1. D-Link DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter

2. D-Link DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter # 2

3. D-Link DGE-530T Gigabit Ethernet Adapter #15 (With Yellow,black exclamation mark) Location : Unknown

Is there any other API need to call before UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices().

How to select device to install in particular PCI slot.

Or is there any API which takes Location like PCI Slot 3 (PCI bus 4, device 2, function 0).

And install driver for that location.

Any suggestion or even reply most welcome.

Please reply soon.

hmm... sounds like to me the .exe doesnt like the machine you are trying to install the drivers on.

what i would do personally is find the drivers for the 2 network cards online, uninstall all 3 drivers listed from device manager, then reboot the machine, when your system detects the new hardware on reboot, dont install the drivers automatically, install them manually then point it to the folders where you have the drivers you downloaded.

installing from a .exe is pretty hard when it doesnt work for you. let me know if that doesnt work for you or if you have to use the .exe for some reason try and figure something else out
