Windows 10: Need to manually install a driver but getting an error

I'm trying to get a manually installed device driver to work under Win 10 Pro 64-bit, but I have a problem.

I copy the driver to c:\windows\system32\drivers (have also tried just c:\windows\system32 ) but on trying to start it manually from the command prompt with administrator level privileges (using sc start drivername) I get:

[SC]StartService: OpenService FAILED 1060:

"the specified service does not exist as an installed service"


I should say that I've done this before under Windows 7 Pro 64-bit without any problems. The driver is signed so should also work under Win 10.

Any ideas please?

Thanks

Driver for Windows Phone 7 as portable device in XP SP3

Having Zune installed is enough to get going. You don't need to manually install drivers unless you're troubleshooting. If you're seeing errors in Zune, or Zune doesn't see the phone, post the errors. Otherwise, what's the end goal here?

 

Need to manually specify driver for USB headset

Please! Someone!

I'm going mad with the exact same issue! The problem randomly fixes itself sometimes, just to get into the exact same state as before when your PC crashes/Audio Fails/anything Windows related actually.

There is no correct answer to this on the whole Internet, can you please provide a bit more informations on what to do next?

For the Logitech G930 there is nothing like a "single Driver" which you are probably used to.

There only is the Logitech Gaming Software, which contains a G930 Driver.

It is impossible to force the G930 Driver over the Avnera one (well it is, but will Show up as "Avnera Logitech G930)

I can tell you the Headset is not damaged and was working fine just like 5 minutes ago.

I had this issue now like 10 times and I'm really going madman crazy. Please help us G930 Users!!

Are you trying to install the driver for which device, could you pass the model of the device you want to install?

 

It's for an EPROM programmer that isn't officially supported under 64-bit Windows (7, 8 or 10). However a driver exists which was created just for 64-bit Windows which I've had working under Win 7 Pro 64-bit. The programmer is a Galep-4 and it connects to the PC using a parallel cable (therefore the PC also has in it a Startech PCI card with a parallel port which has its own drivers - no faults reported with that).

The driver does need to be installed manually as outlined in my first post.

Thanks

 

Already tried installing this driver here http://www.conitec.net/hardware/down/G32setup_12004.exe

 

Is it a signed driver or windows wont accept it? Is there an .inf file with it if so if you right click on it you get an install optoin

 

It is signed but there's no inf file. It installs just fine (by copying it to c:\windows\system32\drivers) under Win 7 Pro 64-bit but not Win 10 Pro 64-bit.

 

Yes, that's the original main install package but it only contains a 32-bit driver. The new, signed 64-bit driver (produced by a third party) is what I use just fine under Win 7 but it's not installing under Win 10.

 

Here's the page with the newly signed 64-bit driver and installation info:

GALEP-4, GALEP-III

 

I've made a bit of progress with this, I first had to type:

sc create glpntdrv type= kernel binPath=c:\windows\system32\drivers\glpntdrv.sys

this worked and gave the message:

[SC] CreateService SUCCESS

I then typed:

sc start glpntdrv

but this gave the error:

startservice failed with error 193

any ideas how to fix that please?

 

The missing 64-bit compilation of glpntdrv.sys driver is the
one-and-only reason why galep32.exe won't run on 64 bit editions of Windows.
This is a running and digitally signed release of
64-bit glpntdrv.sys, with this installation instructions:

- Install galep32 as usual (with administrative privileges) and start once.

- Copy glpntdrv.sys to C:\windows\system32\drivers,
using the 64-bit version of Windows explorer, with administrative privileges.
(The 32-bit driver file should be at C:\windows\syswow64\drivers,
this file is useless in a 64-bit Windows and can be deleted safely.)

- Check for working driver using console window (cmd.exe), enter
“sc start glpntdrv”. This should emit no error message,
or possibly „Service already started“.

- Start galep32.exe, it works now.

Thanks. Yes, those are the instructions that I've been using. They are also missing a step - before entering 'sc start glpntdrv' you need to enter:

sc create glpntdrv type= kernel binPath=c:\windows\system32\drivers\glpntdrv.sys

then you enter:

sc start glpntdrv

but this gives the error:

startservice failed with error 193

 

Kind of complicated to solve your problem. I advise installing the combative system with this recorder
