Hi,

I have also the same problem as Venkat, who wrote on May 27 2006.

Environment:
Vista Ultimate Pre-RC1, build 5536, August 2006.

Background:
I'm trying to uninstall a pnp network unsigned driver stack using
DifxApp 2.01 and have following error:
DIFXAPP: ERROR - Unable to retrieve the driver store handle
corresponding to componentId '{84BE9411-41F9-44DA-840C-F42DD8EA25E1}'
DIFXAPP: UninstallDriverPackages failed with error 0x643

Install happens fine. I can install/uninstall the same software to
Windows XP Professional/Home, to Windows 64 bit and to Windows 2000 and
everything happens just fine.

Venkat: Do you already have some workaround or really solution for this
problem?
I read from somewhere that I should use DifxApp 2.10 for installing or
uninstalling drivers in Vista. Is this true?

DIFx Version 2.1 (the one that comes in the WDK) works well with Vista. In
the previous versions, the Vista support was very limited.

DIFx 2.1 comes with the Windows Driver Kit (WDK). It cannot be downloaded
separately.

I use DIFx 2.1 to install and uninstall WHQL driver file.
But I encountered the problem. The problem is described as follows:

1. -> Install driver.
2. -> The result is successfully.
3. -> I un-plug the card.
4. -> Uninstall driver page.
5. -> The result is failed.

Who know to solve the problem? Please tell me, thank you.
