Can't install driver when changing device description?

I changed the Device Description in version.m4 and it won't install the driver.

I had uninstalled and reinstalled TAP-Windows and it installs the driver that comes with it just fine. But when I add my one, it fails to install.

Check setupapi logs. My guess: the new inf is conflicting with an already installed one. Either change the version number and date as well or "completely" clean the driver store of any old ones.

Thanks for replying so quickly. Where are the setupapi logs? EDIT: Found them. Where would I look in the logs?

The error was: Error 0x800b0100: No signature was present in the subject. How do I fix this?
