I am trying to install a windows printer driver(OEMUNI) provided as a sample in WDK(Windows Driver Kit). But I keep getting following error from add printer wizard: "Printer driver was not installed. Operation could not be completed (error 0x00000002)". I have tried running the add printer wizard with admin privileges but I still get the same problem.
I am using windows 7, 64-bit version. Can somebody help me here ? Also, what would the error code:0x00000002 signify ?

The error is ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND.
- did you build the sample first?
- after you built it, did you put it into the correct folder relative to the
.inffile?
I also encountere this issue. The reason is: the file oem.gpd includes ttfsub.gpd, which cannot be found in the oemdll directory. But even if we copy ttfsub.gpd from FileRepsoitory to the oemdll directory, the installation will also failure. However, if you install the bitmap example, you will succeed. So the correct way is to do like bitmap driver...
0x000002 refers to some missing file, that means there is a reference to the file in the inf file but it is not actually present in the driver package. Please check the driver package if all the files mentioned in the inf file are present in the package.
