Are you using the 64bit driver ?
Via the device manager and selecting the .INF file what error did you got.

Hi there

I haven't got any error in the device manager, it accepts the inf file just fine, creates a separate device called uvnc bbva.
I get na error when I try to install using the command "setupdrv.exe install" stating "Driver Instalation Failed".

Thanks

Are you using the 64bit driver ( i suppose it's 64bit, else it would fail to install even using the device manager) ?
And the 64Bit app(winvnc.exe) ?

Did you installed the driver by downloading the addons for 64bit ?
Or just the zip file ?

If you manual installed "setupdrv install" did you started the cmd as "runas admin"
else if fail because you don't have permission.

Hello Rudi

Yes, I've started the cmd as administrator; I've also used the 64 bit driver through the zip file.

Is the winvnc.exe 64bit ?
Was the command started by the administrator user or "runas admin".

From Vista >= the administrator is not longer allowed to install drivers.
You need to elevated the administrator by opening the cmd as "runas admin" to allow
driver install via a cmd tool.

Hello Rudi

No, I'm using the setupdrv.exe file, and I am doing it in the Administrator account.
The driver is under the folder vista64; It simply doesn't work.

Hello Rudi,

I have been working with the Mirror driver recently and noticed that the certificate expired 03/18/2014. I still seem to be able to install and use it fine and can even add it to Trusted Publishers if I don't want it to give a prompt during install. I was wondering if the expired certificate will cause problems in the near future for using the driver or for future installs of the driver. Thanks for your help

Normal this should be no problem, this is the latest date the certificat can be used for signing.
We already bought a new one ( from verisign) that's valid for 3 years. Next addons wil contain the update cert.

REMARK: Verified, the addons you can donwload already use the new certificats for 1/2 year.
UltraVNC_1_1_9_X64_Addons.exe and UltraVNC_1_1_9_X86_Addons.exe
