where did you find the 0.8 version virtualsmartcard-0.8_win64.zip
Is it for winadows 10,11 ?

Compiled and packed assets can be found in this repo here: https://github.com/frankmorgner/vsmartcard/releases. The packages I mentioned above are expected to be compatible with Windows 10/11.

I've installed BixVReaderInstaller.msi but under windows 10 but under "Smart Card Reader" in Computer Manager I see a new reader called "Unknow device". It seems that something is wrong is in the intallation. BixVReader.ini is not available in \Windows dir

section Configuring vpcd on Windows

Can't say anything about the binaries as they are infected. Which was basically the reason why this ticked was created. If you want to use this driver then I would recommend to compile it from the sources locally on your machine, sign with self-signed certificate and install using devcon or pnputil. But this might require some developing skills.
