Getting "error : Driver Deployment Task Failed: Driver Removal (x64)"

[Francisco Javier Quiros]

Using Visual Studio 2013 on Windows-7 x64 with target Windows-7 x64.

When I do a build I get "error : Driver Deployment Task Failed: Driver Removal (x64)".

When I do a build I see files copied to DriverTest\DriversNew on the target machine. From my development machine I can manually delete files in DriverTest\DriversNew on the target machine. DriverTest\DriversNew has all permissions except for Special Permissions set to allow for all users.

The relevant messages output during build are:
1> [15:14:22:220]: [Driver Removal (x64) (possible reboot)] Command Line:
1> te.exe "%SystemDrive%\DriverTest\Run\DriverTestTasks.dll" /select:"@Name='DriverTestTasks::_DriverRemoval'" /p:"InfFile=echo.inf" /p:"ImportDriver=1" /p:"RemoveDriver=1" /p:"CertificateFile=package.cer" /p:"PackageGuid=C:\DriverProjects\KMDF Echo Sample\C++\Package\package.VcxProj" /rebootStateFile:%SystemDrive%\DriverTest\Logs\DriverTestReboot.xml /enableWttLogging /wttDeviceString:$LogFile:file="%SystemDrive%\DriverTest\Logs\Driver_Removal_(x64)_(possible_reboot)_00003.wtl",writemode=append,encoding=unicode,nofscache=true,EnableLvl="WexStartTest|WexEndTest|WexXml|WexProperty|WexCreateContext|WexCloseContext|*" /runas:Elevated (TaskId:42)

...

1>C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\build\x64\ImportAfter\DriverDeployment.targets(69,9): error : Driver Deployment Task Failed: Driver Removal (x64) (possible reboot)

In the Driver Test Groups Explorer I see the following results that show Access denied




Does anyone have any ideas on what is causing this problem?

Thanks
