Build tap driver for arm64 on Windows

[bradsoto]

I was able to successfully build a load the driver on arm64 Windows. These are my notes.

Install Visual Studio 2017 Community with these individual components:

• Visual C++ compilers and libraries for ARM64
• Windows 10 SDK (10.0.16299.0) for Desktop C++ [ARMand ARM64]

Download and install WDK for Windows 10, version 1709. If the extension does not install run C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Vsix\WDK.vsix. Give yourself modify permissions on the C:\Users\All Users\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys folder.

Change zttap300.inf

; To build for x86, take NTamd64 off this and off the named section manually, build, then put it back!

%Provider%=zttap300,NTarm64

[zttap300]
%DeviceDescription% = zttap300.ndi, root\zttap300 ; Root enumerated
%DeviceDescription% = zttap300.ndi, zttap300      ; Legacy

[zttap300.NTarm64]
%DeviceDescription% = zttap300.ndi, root\zttap300 ; Root enumerated
%DeviceDescription% = zttap300.ndi, zttap300      ; Legacy

Open Developer Command Prompt for VS 2017 in the TapDriver6 directory

set STAMPINF_VERSION=3.00.00.0
msbuild /p:Configuration="Win10 Release";Platform=arm64

Enable testsigning and the driver will install.

@bradsoto is there a way to use what you've compiled until this PR is merged 🙂 ?

Hi,

Could you please share zttap300.inf (if it is enough to install the driver) for ARM64 Win 10 Home ?

@bradsoto HI，Compile according to your steps, but prompt "Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.UniversalStore.HardwareWorkflow.InfReader, Version=0.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=4458b0725dc83cac' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040) Signability test failed."
Please share your compiled tap driver for windows ARM64.
