problem to install st-link driver

[Sanand97]

Hi!

I have a board nucleo F446RE..

I can't to install the st-link driver.

can be related to fact that in my laptop I have windows 11?

[Pavel A.]

ST-Link driver (a modern one)  has no problems with Win11.

[Sanand97]

Ok, thanks!

Sorry, but I'm new..

Is important to install other STM softwares before to install the st-link driver?

[Pavel A.]

No, the ST-LINK driver depends only on the Windows in-box winusb feature. But the debuggers and programming software for STM32s certainly have more dependencies.

Perhaps you can share more about why you're unable to install the driver so that the replies can be more focused and useful. What happens when you try? What error message or unexpected behavior do you get? Show screenshots if possible.

[Sanand97]

So, I have downloaded the en.stsw-link009 and I have launched dpinst_amd64.exe, with the board connected, but I receive this window.

[Sanand97]

Therefore?

[TDK]

Best guess is some antivirus software or "protection" software is preventing driver installation.

Can STM32CubeProgrammer install successfully? And can it connect to the board? It should install drivers as well.

[Sanand97]

I can't to install stm 32cube programmer because I'm not the pc-administrator.. 

Maybe this is the problem

[Pavel A.]

Yes maybe installing drivers failed because it could not elevate.

Please look in c:\windows\dpinst.log  and \windows\INF\setupapi.dev*.log (most recent files)
