Solution to installation failure of Arduino driver on amd64win8.1

Solution to installation failure of Arduino driver on amd64win8.1
When the driver is updated manually, the system cannot find the system file.

Cause:

You can open C: \ Windows \ inf \ setupapi. dev to open the hardware Installation Log. Find the last record and we will find the following error:

Sto: Copying driver package files to 'C: \ Users \ ADMINI ~ 1 \ AppData \ Local \ Temp \ {7ff41925-97db-1c6a-d5be-311dd1322b22 }'.
Inf: Opened INF: 'd: \ arduino-1.0.2 \ drivers \ arduino uno. inf '([strings])
! Inf: cocould not find include INF file "layout. inf". Error = 0x00000002
! Inf: Unable to load INF: 'C: \ Windows \ System32 \ DriverStore \ FileRepository \ mdmcpq. inf_amd64_dae08984c2c12d19 \ mdmcpq. inf '(00000003)
! Inf: Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified.
! Inf: cocould not find include INF file "mdmcpq. inf". Error = 0x00000003
Inf: Opened INF: 'd: \ arduino-1.0.2 \ drivers \ arduino uno. inf '([strings])

This record indicates that the file C: \ Windows \ System32 \ DriverStore \ FileRepository \ mdmcpq. inf_amd64_dae08984c2c12d19 \ mdmcpq. inf cannot be found.

So what exactly is the cause of file loss? After some searches, I found that some lite Windows systems have reduced the file, this is why some netizens have provided a solution for reinstalling the system.

Now that we have located the missing file, we can fix it.

Solution:

1. Download the compressed package


2. decompress the package to the path C: \ Windows \ System32 \ DriverStore \ FileRepository.

(Note: If the last step is followed by an error, you may need to change "mdmcpq. inf_amd64_neutral_xxxx "refers to the folder name, which replaces xxxx with the folder name prompted in the error log. It is very easy to find the log file .)

3. reinstall the driver. The installation method is described in detail on the Internet. I will give you a brief introduction here:

(1) connect the Arduino to the USB, and the system may prompt that the device cannot be correctly installed;

(2) Find Arduino in "Device Manager", right-click and choose "Update driver ";

(3) Go to the Arduino development tool directory you downloaded and find the drivers directory, which is D: \ arduino-1.0.2 \ drivers in my computer;

(4) Click next and the installation will be successful!
