AddPrinterDriver returning ERROR_IO_PENDING, what should I do?
-
bResult = AddPrinterDriver(NULL, 3, (LPBYTE) &di3);
TRACE("%d", (int) GetLastError());
if (!bResult)
return FALSE;The call to AddPrinterDriver fails returning FALSE, and GetLastError() returns ERROR_IO_PENDING. The Error Lookup tool shows for this error "Overlapped I/O operation is in progress." What does this mean, and what should I do to work around this problem?
There is sufficient light for those who desire to see, and there is sufficient darkness for those of a contrary disposition. Blaise Pascal

If i check out the documentation of AddPrinterFriver[^], it doesn't mention anywhere that it sets the last error code in case of an error, are you sure you are not getting the error code of something called before AddPrinterDriver OR maybe something that was called inside AddPrinterDriver but doesn't really contain much of information about the problem?

Strange, it used to say: If the function fails, the return value is zero. To get extended error information, call
