FAQID1904 - Error 1904 when installing DriverStudio onto a machine with VS2005

Question
When installing DriverStudio on a machine with VisualStudio 2005 a dialog pops up with the message:

error 1904. Module DSDDKEnv8.dll failed to register. HRESULT -2147024770.

How can this be fixed?

Answer
This is due to the package file that is needed for integration into VisualStudio 2005 not being able to register.
The DLL we use needs to be updated.

Install DriverStudio and when the 1904 error occurs choose ignore.
Continue the install as normal.
Once it is completely installed...

Cut and paste this link into a browser and download the file.
fxp://ftp.compuware.com/pub/driverstudio/outgoing/patch/DSDDKEnv.zip

Extract it into a temp directory.

Copy the file DSDDKEnv8.dll into the install dir\DriverStudio\Common\Bin directory. Select 'yes' if prompted to copy over an existing one.

Copy the file DSDDKEnv8UI.dll into the install dir\DriverStudio\Common\Bin\1033 directory. Select 'yes' if prompted to copy over an existing one.

DriverStudio menu should now be part of the VisualStudio 2005 menu.
