          Perhaps you can start your console window as an administrator - it may help. Browse to your \Windows\system32 folder, then right-click on cmd.exe and choose "Run As Administrator". Hope it helps.

                What are you trying to install? Perhaps if you post the contents of your inf file that might be a starting point.

                    I see that this file contains the name of the author and the company that manufactured this product. Obviously they are the people to contact to ask what this message means.

                        As I said in answer to your earlier post, the message "Installation failed" gives no clue as to what might be wrong, so there is no way we could begin to guess what the error is. If you cannot get help from the people who wrote this package then I fear you are stuck.

                              Hi, When you install a device driver and the installation fails you can check the SetupAPI Log File[^] located at **%windir%\inf\setupapi.dev.log** on Windows Vista and above. My guess is that you are attempting to install a 32 bit device driver on a 64 bit Vista OS. Best Wishes, -David Delaune
