This is of course one of the only ways to install the Eitr driver in any of the Server OS’s, and I’ve had no trouble installing it until WS2019 Core. I still get “The data is invalid” after the install process completes. I can’t see what I’m possibly doing wrong. Everything looks normal until the install process finishes. Do you install the driver with the Eitr plugged in and powered up?

Are you using Audio Optimizer

Still no change. I get a box during the install:

Windows found drivers for your device but encountered an error while attempting to install them.

The data is invalid.

I’ve never done that, nor ever tweaked an .inf file.

I looked at it. What on Earth would I tweak?

My bad. Please never mind. I was confused, not realizing it's about DAC driver, not network card driver.

This is exactly the same message I get here when I try to install Ayre driver manually. I don't know if this happens because of the last Audiophile Optimizer update or after formatting the computer and installing a completely new Windows. I installed both together an cannot conclude anything...

My issue was not installing FOD first.  Are you installing the FOD?

TJHUB, since I started using Windows Server 2016, and then moved to 2019, I've never had problems with the Ayre driver. It was only with the latest version, downloaded directly from Microsoft's website, that this happened. Could this be lack of FOD? I tried to install once, but it looks like it didn't work. I will try again. The problem is that the DAC is working, but it always appears disabled, and when I try to install it manually, I get an error message, the same as you.

If running 2019 Core, FOD is a must install just for the added features, but my understanding is the it add some increased compatibility features that helps stubborn drivers and programs.  Try FOD and see if that doesn't solve your problem.  My driver won't work without FOD installed.
