Custom tap adapter install not working

Veinder55

I have been trying to install a custom tap adapter using the tap-windows6 repos on github (https://github.com/OpenVPN/tap-windows6) on windows 10. After building a custom tapinstall and replacing my inf file I tried to use the tapinstall command with a custom id.

I have changed everything in OemVista.inf to the correct hardware ID. While trying this i have not signed the driver or generated the cat files, so I understand why it would fail in this case. However, after using the cross sign script to generate the catalog file I noticed that my .sys file is missing, meaning I cannot sign the .sys file because it is non existent.

I think the tapinstall is supposed to generate a .sys file for me when I try to run it the first time with it not being signed but as I mentioned earlier that install keeps failing. That is why I am asking for help on here,why is my tapinstall not working and why am I missing a .sys file. I have tried looking for information on just about anywhere but I can't seem to find any information regarding this problem.

Thanks in advance.

What I am trying to do is build a custom tap adapter for my application. It can not find any drivers as you see. But I do not know how I can build a .sys file because it is missing that. I do not want to create another instance of an already existing tap adapter, I want to build one on a new hardware id. In the openvpn documentation of the repo referred to in the original post above there is no information on how to build it on a separate hardware id and I can not find anything on the internet.
