I am using a Windows 8.1 laptop 64 bit. I tired to follow the procedure on the Wiki to install drivers for Win 8.1.

Re: Windows 8.1 driver installation failure
Sounds like you selected a folder.
Did you click the "Have disk" button?
Once you did, navigate to the "pybcdc.inf" file and select that and not the folder it is located in.

Re: Windows 8.1 driver installation failure
Yes. I did select the file "pybcdc.inf" but still got the error message. I will retry it and let you know.
Re: Windows 8.1 driver installation failure
I tried this multiple time but still having the same issue.
I have another PC which is a Windows 7 PC and I was able to install drivers successfully. But for some reason its failing on Windows 8.1

Re: Windows 8.1 driver installation failure
You could try replacing all occurrences of the 'NTamd64' string in the inf file with 'NTamd64.6.3' so it targets windows 8.1 specifically.
Re: Windows 8.1 driver installation failure
While that is a hack, it might actually work. But the inf file should already take care of that, I don't have a copy of it though.stijn wrote:You could try replacing all occurrences of the 'NTamd64' string in the inf file with 'NTamd64.6.3' so it targets windows 8.1 specifically.
In the same article, there is "More information can be found here" that might be of help as well.
