Windows 8 Tap driver installation problem

Post by CDanielC » Wed Dec 02, 2015 5:47 pm

Hi, I have the following problem installing tap drivers in Windows 8:
We are running on a 64-bit system.
Output folder: C:\Program Files\TAP-Windows\bin
Extract: tapinstall.exe... 100%
Output folder: C:\Program Files\TAP-Windows\driver
Extract: OemVista.inf... 100%
Extract: tap0901.cat... 100%
Extract: tap0901.sys... 100%
Output folder: C:\Program Files\TAP-Windows
Extract: license.txt... 100%
Extract: icon.ico... 100%
tapinstall.exe hwids returned: 0
TAP update (tap0901) (May require confirmation)
Updating drivers for tap0901 from C:\Program Files\TAP-Windows\driver\OemVista.inf.
UpdateDriverForPlugAndPlayDevices failed, GetLastError=-536870348
tapinstall.exe failed.
tapinstall.exe returned: 2
tapinstall.exe cumulative status: 2
Created uninstaller: C:\Program Files\TAP-Windows\Uninstall.exe

Could you tell me how to fix this?
