Can't compile BixVReader on windows

[jetfire13]

As of now microsoft allow to download only the latest WDK.

Compilation with the latest WDK give this errors:

C:\projects\vsmartcard\virtualsmartcard\win32\BixVReader\BixVReader.inf(5-5): error 1324: [Version] section should specify PnpLockdown=1 to prevent external apps from modifying installed driver files.
C:\projects\vsmartcard\virtualsmartcard\win32\BixVReader\BixVReader.inf(31-31): error 2084: Service binary 'C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\WUDFRd.sys' should reference a CopyFiles destination file.
C:\projects\vsmartcard\virtualsmartcard\win32\BixVReader\BixVReader.inf(44-44): error 1402: UMDF version 1.11 has been deprecated, driver should be ported to use version UMDF 2 driver model.

I tried to fix the first two errors, i still get the error that UMDF 1 is deprecated:

C:\projects\vsmartcard\virtualsmartcard\win32\BixVReader\BixVReader.inf(44-44): error 1402: UMDF version 1.11 has been deprecated, driver should be ported to use version UMDF 2 driver model.

I couldn't find some solution or workaround to build with UMDF 1.11 with latest WDK

The latest WDK is only available for Windows SDK 10.0.26100.0
this is my project settings

I found project setting that allow to build with latest WDK

It might be worth adding to "Building vpcd on Windows" section on.
Issue could be closed

@jetfire13 Hi, I'm facing the same issue. Could you please share how you resolved the "Service binary '...' should reference a CopyFiles destination file" error?

@huangkq1989 Hi, see my comment above, you should change BixVReader project property Driver settings->General->Validation version to windows 8.1. After that the project should build for you.

If it is only a simple change, feel free to make a pull request.

@frankmorgner, you mean open PR with changes to .vcxproj file?

I have updated the project to not ignore but pass the validation checks for newer platforms in 09afb54. I stumbled upon the fact that newer VS don't automatically do the test signing anymore. I've added targets for that additionally. However, devcon (and the build MSI) fail to complete the installation. pnputil can install the driver, but no actual device is created. So I assume that the creation of the reader device is what is failing in devcon and the additional installer routine. Unfortunately, I don't currently have a solution for this.

@jetfire13 did you get further with modifying the project and actually using the built driver? Is there something that I'm missing with the updated project files?
