DriverInstallPackagesW fails to create driver store entry

When installing our driver package as part of our software installation, the
DifxApp InstallDriverPackages() failes with error code 82 (0x52). More
precisely it fails in DriverPackageInstallW and gives the following error:
DIFXAPP: ERROR: Create Driver Store entry failed. (Error code 0x6E: The
system cannot open the device or file specified.)

What could cause this issue?? Is it really the driver store folder creation
that fails, or is there something missing in the driver package?

Any hep/suggestion is welcome,

Olivier

Hi,
Sorry first of all as I cannot help with your issue... but thought you may
be able to assist me!
I am experiencing a DIFxApp error "DIFXAPP: ERROR 0x647 encountered getting
the component state for 'KernelDriversXp'"
Do you know where I can access documentation on the DIFxApp error codes - to
interpret the 0x647 error code?

thanks,

Paul

Without any further information (like which operating system), my guess is
that you are running this as a normal user without administrator
privileges. You must be administrator to install drivers.

This was on Windows XP SP2, so there should not be any issues with Admin right.
Also the driver installation is part of an application installation.
