Unable to install TAP in windows 8.1

Post by acwilan » Fri May 02, 2014 11:59 pm

Hi, I'm trying to install TAP 9.9.2 in my windows 8.1 machine. At the setup I get the error that TAP failed to install driver. So I run manually the command

Code: Select all

C:\tap\bin>addtap.bat
C:\tap\bin>rem Add a new TAP virtual ethernet adapter
C:\tap\bin>"C:\Program Files\TAP-Windows\bin\devcon.exe" install "C:\Program Fil
es\TAP-Windows\driver\OemWin2k.inf" tap0901
Device node created. Install is complete when drivers are installed...
Updating drivers for tap0901 from C:\Program Files\TAP-Windows\driver\OemWin2k.i
nf.
devcon.exe failed.
C:\tap\bin>pause
Press any key to continue . . .
This is what I have in my setupapi.dev.log file

Any ideas?
