Hello all, I have done some tests wrt the strange error messages I got from test-drv-info yesterday. It turns out that the program is issuing an error code -1073741515 (completely nonsensical of course) when it can not find the driver - the PATH environment variable does not contain the directory containing the driver DLLs.
From the source code for test-drv-info I would guess that a more proper error message should occur, but perhaps this does not work under Windows/MinGW. (Yesterday I probably made a mistake in updating the path before running make again, so that the error occurred multiple times. I will make a note on the Wiki about this.)
