Serial Driver Installation Section INF Invalid

[nic.ashby]

I'm having trouble installing the driver.
I am getting this:
A service installation section in this INF is invalid.
And the driver will not install.

What device are you installing the driver for?

There is this thread on the getting the Pro to run a serial based sketch - with significant updates pending:
http://digistump.com/board/index.php/topic,1596.0.html

But that is internal to the Pro - if you are setting up a serial device to connect PC to Pro that to it would be device dependent - unless I'm missing something in the info you provided.

I am using the Pro, yes.
I do not have any issues with compiling or uploading to the device.
The problem arises when I plug in the device when it's running the sketch. Windows tries to install the driver, but does not complete. I get the above error.

What version of windows? I have not seen any other reports of this - can you try running th Driver Install insider the Digispark_Arduino/drivers folder?

Thanks,
Erik

7 Home Premium 64-bit.
I have installed with Install 64bit Drivers.exe
All items 'install' and are 'ready to use' with green check mark.

I'm going to assume there is something conflicting on my end. I will report back what I find in case anybody else runs into this.

I have Win 7 Pro and The 1.5.8B setup ran through and did what it wanted with no complaints (quite a few parts) - though I may have had prior install leftovers?

I did not have to install anything OVERT - just what the installer did.

Unless my Pro is running USB aware Sketch it reports device install failed of course after the Bootloader bails.  So failure at that point is normal - but I've never seen if blame the INF.

I have attempted this again with a fresh install of Windows and received the same error when windows tries to install Digispark Serial.

Odd - just to confirm you are seeing this text: "A service installation section in this INF is invalid."

And you downloaded the current 1.5.8B version?  And this happens after the downloaded installer completes without error?

I wonder if you could download the ZIP - UnZip it - and go in and do a manual install of the drivers from that package?

Instructions on the manual copy : http://digistump.com/wiki/digispark/tutorials/connectingpro#windows_install

I'd do a RIGHT click and 'Run as Admin' on the installer and see what you get.

[nic.ashby]

All this is correct, yes.

I seem to be having the same problem. I have both Digisparks and Pro's, and neither work correctly. Running the driver installation shows an error installing "Digistump LLC (usbser) Ports (08/16/2014 1.1.0.0)" but it does install "Digistump LLC (digistump.com) (usbser) Ports (09/02/2014 5.1.2600.1)".

When I plug in either a Digispark or a Digispark Pro, in Windows Device Manager, it says:

The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

A service installation section in this INF is invalid.


To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver.

I even tried "Update Driver" and tried to point it to the exact driver to load, with no success. I'm running Windows 8.1 x64 Pro, and this computer has never had any Arduino software loaded.

I'm having trouble installing the driver.
I am getting this:
A service installation section in this INF is invalid.
And the driver will not install.

I solved  this issue for windows 7 changing the DigiSerial.inf file in this way

[DriverInstall.NTamd64.CopyFiles]
usbser.sys
lowcdc.sys

More detailed info on my blog http://cromagn.blogspot.it/2015/08/usb-cdc-for-digispark-serial-on-windows.html

This worked! Thank you!

[digistump]

thanks this is now corrected in the official files as well
