win2k3 SCSI miniport driver "code 37" problem
Posted by Greg Brill on August 1st, 2003


I have a SCSI miniport driver which installs and works OK under NT, 2000
and XP. I am trying to install this driver under Server 2003 Enterprise
Edition. The "Found New Hardware Wizard" reports: "Windows can not
initialize the device driver for this hardware. (Code 37)". After that I
can see that the entire driver related registry settings are done
correctly, according to my INF file. Before attempting to install the
driver, I could see the device in the registry
(HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\Scsi\Scsi Port...). After
attempting to install the driver, the device disappeared from the
DEVICEMAP registry.

What does Code 37 mean, and what do I need to do to get this device to
install under Win2K3?
