Hello all...

This exactly is the problem that I have been experiencing ever since I
installed vista rtm..(no prob in rc1)

The automatic driver installation thing seems to be working fine for
quite few days...but after some time...it doesnt do auto installation
of other hardwares like different flash drives...

I have been screaming for this for quite some time in other
forums...but noone else replied...this is the first time that some
people are reporting of this error..

Dont know what the hell is going on with this error...

but now really happy to know that i am not alone...and collectively
can solve this problem(hopefully)

If any solution known...please share it here..

Thanks

Regards.

Hello William,
I am back from out of town now.
just getting caught up again>
Can I get the setupapi.app.log and the setupapi.dev.log?
I was looking for those two log files rather than the setupapi.ev* files
that you sent me.

Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]

Hello Mates!

Here the solution:

1. go to the C:\Windows\Inf and delete the file INFCACHE.1
2. if you cant delete this file you have to get the rights for it -
hmm I don't know it in English - you have to be the "owner" of the
file
3. Than restart the machine, and voila it works again!

Best regards form sunny Germany (Blackforest)

Hello,
That resolution has some issues and can cause other problems, so it's not
really a great resolution.
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
