N950 RNDIS Ethernet Issue - Windows Xp Pro is unable to install software for it

[KTay]

Hi all,

Following the instructions from the Qt Getting started guide on the Nokia Developer website:-
Windows Xp could not install software for "N950 RNDIS/Ethernet" hardware.

I have tried :-

1) Manually specifying the directory to
QtSDk\Maemo\usbdriver

and

2) Automatically search for software
suggest by a fellow(harry) I met at the Singapore Meego Training.

and

3) Manually went into QtSDK\Maemo\usbdriver
Double clicked on DpInst.
A small GUI window pop up and after a while, it output to the window
Linux RNDIS install success.
Despite that, I went into Add Hardware wizard, the error entry is still there
! N950 RNDIS


Sadly all three did not work, according to harry he did the same thing for Win Xp and it worked for him.

Have I missed something out with windows configuration perhaps ?

The N950 is connected via CA-169 USB cable provided with the DEV Kit.

The Hardware I am using as as follows:-
Asus Netbook 1000H
Atom N270 dual-core processor
2GB Memory


Software:-
Windows Xp Professional Sp3
MS Visual C++ 2008 Express Edition
Qt SDK 1.1.3 ( no newer update )
Nokia PC suite 7.1
AVG AntiVirus 2011 FREE Edition
and other softwares

I have tried following the instructions from the website as follows:-

1) Downloaded Nokia PC Connectivity solution:-
Nokia_Connectivity_Cable_Driver_eng.msi
Version 7.1.34.0

However, the install shield informed me that the one I have already installed is newer and quit.


N950
Software version V1.2011.22-6_PR_RM680
(According to the other posts, this is already the latest software version.)


Could someone please help ?

The same problem

I guess this is the same problem which affects Win7,
In this case it's a known bug that will be fixed in the next update (*)

BTW I cannot see this bug in JIRA. So, could anyone of you file it?

I am too facing the same problem. Using QT 1.1.3 and N950 with firmware v1.2011.34-2_PR_RM680 and Win XP SP3
Is there a link I can download just the driver? Like KTay decribed I have also tried running DTinstall from QtSDk\Maemo\usbdriver
Does anyone know when will new new QT be out, or at least an update?
Is there a workaround? How can I transfer/install the QT app file on my device without this driver?

in reply to my own question - There is a workaround for people that want to test QT apps on their device. You have to use WLAN option in SDK connection app.
So no need for installing RNDIS/Ethernet driver if you want to deploy apps from QT to N9 or N950 mobile device. You can use WLAN network. Hope I have helped someone.
