Hi Henry,

I downloaded the latest release 0.7.6 and upgraded from previous version
0.7.5, now for some reason the TAP Win32 does not install and gives and
error every time I try to install, so I am not able to use coLinux.

Please help, please let me know if you require more information.

Thank you,

Regards,
Nambi

[coLinux-users] Problem update TAP-Win32 [was: Cooperative Linux version 0.7.6 released]

In normal case you not need update the driver. But the installer can't 
check your installed version and will all times call "tapcontrol.exe 
update OemWin2k.inf TAP0801co". That should popup a "Driver Sign check" 
from Microsoft [1]. If you not have seen this popup or if you have not 
allowed the install, then you can get a non or wrong installed driver. 
Of curse, the driver should not in use while update is in process.

The install log from colinux installer (coLinux-0.7.6.exe) would be 
interesting for me. There was a button "show details" on install process 
to see the logs from installer.

To re-install on your machine, use the command prompt please:

	cd C:\coLinux\netdriver
	tapcontrol.exe remove TAP0801co
	tapcontrol.exe install OemWin2k.inf TAP0801co


More about command line and TAP-Win32 driver you will find in Wiki:
