Problems with admin privileges

Hello, i'm currently working on a VB.NET app (VS2010) that uses your .dll to enable and disable devices. The problem is, even though i run my app with admin privileges, the enable/disable method of your library doesn't work and throws the following exception :

Unable to change Bluegiga Bluetooth Low Energy (COM7) device state, make sure you have administrator privileges

Do you have any solution for this ?

Thanks in advance

if a device was using ,how to disable the device without reboot?

USB-SERIAL CH340
when it was using,can't be disabled without rebbot

hDevInfo.ToInt32() caused overflow exception. ToInt64() solved it.

I currently have not a 32-bit Windows device, so I cannot test whether this application runs correctly on a 32-bit device or not, but it caused exceptions on my 64-bit Windows devices.

I changed ToInt32() to ToInt64(), and it worked. Also, enabling/disable required administrative privilege. Without it, it did not work. So, it might be a good idea to show an error message like "Cannot enable/disable the device without administrative privilege."

Move HardwareHelperLib to independent nuget package

x64 vs x86

I want to integrate the class into an existing app that required 0x86 for historical purposes. If I switch you app from x64 to x86, if fails to reset at the following line:
private bool ChangeIt(IntPtr hDevInfo, Native.SP_DEVINFO_DATA devInfoData, bool bEnable)
{
...
if (Native.SetupDiSetClassInstallParams(hDevInfo, ptrToDevInfoData, ptrToPcp, Marshal.SizeOf(typeof(Native.SP_PROPCHANGE_PARAMS))))
{
Native.SetupDiCallClassInstaller(Native.DIF_PROPERTYCHANGE, hDevInfo, ptrToDevInfoData);
}
...
}

The "If" statement fails and the GetLastError returns an 87. I'm guessing it may have to do with structure size, but wanted to run this by you to see if you've seen it.

Great class by the way :)

Thanks,
