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.
