I'm trying to install the Windows Driver Testing Framework (WDTF) Runtime Libraries on a HLK test client (windows 10 x64) but get an error during installation:
CustomAction WDTFInstall_FailIfInstalledAction returned actual error code 1157 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)
Error 1723. There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A DLL required for this install to complete could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Action WDTFInstall_FailIfInstalledAction, entry: WDTFFailIfInstalled, library: C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Testing\Runtimes\WDTF\RunTime\WDTFInstall.DLL

WDTFInstall.DLL is missing from the runtime folder. I've installed WDK version 10.0.17763.1
Is there a work around for this?

Michael Ngarimu 6 Reputation points2021-10-18T06:57:31.6+00:00 I've run into the same issue.
I found https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/wdtf/wdtf-runtime-library that describes installing the WDTF runtime from an msi included with the WDK but with that I get
Maybe you'll have better luck.

SteveP 256 Reputation points2021-12-28T17:02:39.937+00:00 Sorry @Coice , I should have posted this earlier.
Visual Studio Driver Test targeting older OS releases requires the dev system to use both the WDK version and the Visual Studio version that were current when the target OS was released.
When targeting Server2016, the dev system must use VS2015 with WDK 1607 to build the driver and run the WDTF tests.
I have not checked lately to see if the online docs have been updated to state this requirement.
Cheers,

Apparently nobody tested the environment described in the docs which always lead to errors in deployment.
Now what?

Running msiexec with logging shows ...
