v2.2.1.1 setup vJoy failed to install - workaround

Hi I have received the “vJoy failed to install” during the setup vJoySetup-2.2.1-signed.exe in a fresh new windows 10 1903 installation. Looking the logs I realize that error are coming somewhere around the searching for ROOT\HIDCLASS\0000. Loking the vJoyInstallerSigned.iss setup script I could see that the script search for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\ROOT\HIDCLASS\0000 registry entry. This does not exist in my windows registry. I manage to get it installing a previous version of vjoy (2.1.9.1) (that creates this registry entry). Then I could export this to a HIDCLASS.reg file. Now every time I need to install vJoySetup-2.2.1-signed.exe in fresh new windows I can apply the HIDCLASS.reg before the installation and you will get a successful installation.
I start trying to permanently fix this issue but I could get further because o vjoy driver compilation and sinning issues.

failed with error: Unknown Error: e000022f

Just pulled the project out and build it with my local test certificate.
everything went well until when I tried to install it with "vJoyinstall,.exe I" command, I got this error:

Compile issues.

Hello.
I am trying to compile the Vjoy driver. but i am having a lot of issues.
errors like:
Error C2065 'CompatId': undeclared identifier D:\Coding\vJoy-new\driver\sys\driver.c 271
Error C2065 'buffer': undeclared identifier D:\Coding\vJoy-new\driver\sys\rawpdo.c 790
Error C2065 'SDDL_DEVOBJ_SYS_ALL_ADM_RWX_WORLD_RWX_RES_R': undeclared identifier D:\Coding\vJoy-new\driver\sys\rawpdo.c 798
And a ton more.

Edit: was due to some WDK install issues. and is fixed.

Ability to name devices

Currently facing the issue with Joystick Gremlin and Star Citizen, that the devices are randomly resorted when restarting the game.

VJoy1 seems to be always ok, however vJoy2 and vJoy11 always get mixed up.

My assumption is, that Star citizen initialises the Joysticks based on their name as well? And should the name match, they just rewrite the UUID of the device and map them to it.

However since vJoy is named the same for each device, games that rely on the name gonna have that issue. It would be great to name the devices separately maybe, so they would be unique in both name and id.

Best

Vjoy failed to install Win 11

Installed the latest release, attempts to install, but fails with popup saying vjoy failed to install.

VJoy for Windows on Arm

It doesn't work. =) I knew it wouldn't... but wanted to open this anyways. =)

Joystick Gremlin + Plugin -> vJoy 2.2 doesn't work. 2.1.9 does.

I don't really know what exactly the problem is, but Joystick Gremlin, via a plugin, can talk just fine with vJoy 2.1.9, but not this fork/version.

For reproduction, follow the instructions here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHv14f6s2pQ

It'll work with @jshafer817 version 2.1.9. With this fork, vJoy never detects an input.

vJoyInit.reg not found

I've just tried to install vJoySetup-2.2.1-signed.exe.
At the end of the install, it says that vJoy failed to install.
Looking at the logs, the error I get is
DATETIME InitFromRegistry(): File DOWNLOADPATH vJoyInit.reg not found
Of course, there is no such file in my download path, just the .exe file

All axes greyed out in vJoy 2.1.1 except for Enable vJoy

Hi, I still cant seem to find an answer for this.

I am not sure what am I actually missing. Do I have to pay for a license?

Installs successfully, but can't add any devices.

Installed just fine, run the vjoy config but when I click "Add Device" nothing happens. Reverted to 2.1.9.1 and everything works fine.

A shame because the Stream Deck vJoy plugin requires this version.

Not workinh with UCR / DirectX imput and DirectX output

Can create profile but vjoy device never receive input or never send output. UCR work with previus release.

vJoy failed to install

Logs are attached. I tried a few times, none worked. Older versions like 2.1.9.1 work fine.

Installation of vjoy failing on Windows 11

Failed to install driver. Function WdfCollectionCreate failed with status 0xc000009a.
The driver \Driver\vjoy failed to load for the device ROOT\HIDCLASS\0000.

vjoy "installs" but fails to install. When you launch it after that error, everything is greyed out and doens't seem to be interactable. I can't add a device.

The device list seems to be empty and doesn't detect any gamepad or wheel I plug in.

The monitor doesn't show anything as well.

The demo feeder shows the following error at the top.

vJoy not working with Web Gamepad API

Hi, This issue is fixed and you will find a summary of the problem and solution below:

---

Original Question

The Web Gamepad API doesn't seem to be able to show/receive the Axes values:

The buttons work fine, but the axes don't.
Here is an example test URL: https://luser.github.io/gamepadtest/

---

Working solution

njz3 made an update that fixes this problem, but the problem is that he cannot sign the driver, so you will need to follow this guide to install this update:

1. Install the certificate in the "Trusted Root Certification" store. (So open it, click install, [select local user if you have admin rights], click next, select 'install in the following archive', select "Trusted Root Certification", hit next, click confirm)

2. Enable SIGNTEST mode in your windows: Open CMD (or PowerShell) AS ROOT, run Bcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON and then if it says "operation successful", you will need to reboot your computer. [If it didn't say that but it says something about Secure Boot, you will need to disable Secure Boot FIRST]. Now when you computer is booted up, you should see in the bottom right of your desktop the text "Testing Mode"

3. Now download this testing build installer and then open it to install.

4. To make sure it will work, open the "Configure vJoy" app and uncheck one of the axis, hit apply and then check the axis again and hit apply.

P.s. If you want the SDK, you can find that at this link

If you still cannot get it to work after trying these methods, you may add a comment to this issue.

Vjoy making Iracing as 100% CPU but it is not. any clue?

ok I just installed this and I use this with streamdeck for IraceIT app and everytime I join about 10 sec later I get this

I do not know what is going on.

This is what is showing for me on Task Manager

Disabling Vjoy dose not do this but still have to restart Iracing

No FFB with iracing and irFFB2020

This version of vJoy doesn't seem to pass through the ffb from iracing with w10 or w11.
The previous version v2.1.9.1 does, but it has another issue in that it sends a pulse to the wheels ffb every 20 seconds and spikes the ffb for no reason.
The brunnerinnovation signed v2.2.2.0 also doesn't pass through the ffb.

Vjoy installation failed

Hello author, I just compiled the VjoyInstall project and the three driver projects (with digital signature turned off), and all three projects were compiled successfully. Then, I copied the generated files to the "C: Program Files vJoy" directory and ran "vJoyInstall. exe" (I moved the series of files originally installed by the installation package to another location), However, the prompt "cmdUpdate: UPDATEDRIVERFORPLUGANDPLAYDEVICES (hwid=root VID_1234&PID_BEAD&REV_0219, InfPath=C: Program Files vJoy vJoy. inf) failed with error: Unknown Error: e0000247" has been bothering me lately, and I hope to get your help-- A rookie from China

Compile issues, 'CompatId': undeclared identifier etc.

Delete me!!

Getting FFB Data (the real issue is me lacking time)

im super fresh around these grounds because i need to get force feedback from the driver - the amount and towards where to it(the game) wants to feedback.

im using FreePIE to do my funky stuff and there clearly isnt a vjoy[num].getforcefeedback or .currentffb

OR is it possible to relay these over local net with tcpcomms over a certain port?

OR is all of this not possible and i need to get funky with this project? (it would be really great to get it over to freepie)
