device manager error code

[Gordon Smith]

When I checked the device manager (from Control Panel | System) to see
that my vxd had the resources required, no conflicts, etc., there was a
message to the effect that there was a problem with the driver and that
I should contact my vendor, i.e. me :( and tell them "Error: 2".

Are these error codes documented anywhere in DDK/VToolsD/VC++? Or
anywhere else? So far I've seen 2, 8 and 22 at different times, one of
which was probably due to the vxd not being found in the windows\system
directory.

TIA

There are two types of what could be considered "error codes" in CONFIGMG.H. One
group is CR_xxxx, which are return values from CM
services.The other group is CM_PROB_xxx, and I believe that's what you
see in the Device Manager.

CM_PROB_DEVLOADER_FAILED has a value of 2. It means, simply, that
the VxD named as DevLoader in the device's registry key failed to load.
