System setup

Operating System

  • Windows 11 Pro 23H2 Build 22631.4751
  • Linux
  • macOS
  • Android

Software version

  • The version of the software did you use?
    0.9
  • How did you download, build and/or install the software?
    Installation through virtualsmartcard-0.9_win64.zip (win installer)

Required research

  • I checked the documentation at Virtual Smart Card
  •  I searched the Github for this issue

Expected behaviour

What should happen?

  1. (from frankmorgner site) "The configuration file BixVReader.ini of vpcd is installed to C:\Windows"
  2. (from frankmorgner site) "The user mode device driver framework (WUDFHost.exe) should read it automatically and load the vpcd on startup"
  3. (from frankmorgner site) "devmgmt.msc should list the Bix Virtual Smart Card Reader"

Actual behaviour

What happens instead?

  1. the file is not present (not found anywhere else, neither)
  2. I don't see it in the list of processes
  3. I get "Device unknown" (present but not fully recognized):

Steps to reproduce

  1. Installation from BixVReaderInstaller.msi (virtualsmartcard-0.9_win64.zip)

Yes, I did the following before installation (actually CertMgr.exe was not recognized, but without .exe it worked):
CertMgr /add BixVReader.cer /s /r localMachine root /all
CertMgr /add BixVReader.cer /s /r localMachine trustedpublisher

this is indeed another question: in certmgr I only see current user, not local machine (even if i have admin rights):
