Error on virtual calculator and conn kit in Surface Pro 4

[eried]

Hello, I don't know if there is a known workaround but I cant run virtual calculator nor conn kit in my Surface Pro without getting to an error loop:



I remember something about this but I cant find it anymore :/ probably a dll is missing?

This actually seems to be a conflict specific to surface units (v3/4 only) and has been reported by other surface users here since the update. I am guessing some sort of strange interaction with a specific hardware configuration unique to those models. It is being investigated.

Oh, cool. Thanks for the answer. So basically they don't work at all with this pc?

I will take a look tonight

Ok, the problem here seems to be that on certain devices (such as the surface) you could get back an HID node from the OS with 0 for vendor ID and Product ID (not sure exactly why this is the case). This case would cause the IO code in the emu/connkit to match the "named pipe" object - yet since it was flagged as a USB object it would try to initialize the usb object as a named pipe and cause.... . . . trouble.

Cool, thanks for letting us know Tim.
