Hi all i am working on a smart card driver that works fine for windows 7 but on windows 8.1 some times it popup with an error "the smart card requires driver are not present on this system.Pl;ease try another smart card or contact your administrator." And one more thing that i have noticed is smart card driver behavior is also differ on win 8.1. For that i have written a simple application code i am providing below with driver log on win 7 and windows 8.1.
lReturn = SCardEstablishContext(SCARD_SCOPE_USER,
NULL,
NULL,
&hSC);
if ( SCARD_S_SUCCESS != lReturn )
message("Failed SCardEstablishContext\n");
else
{
message("context established\n");
lReturn = SCardGetCardTypeProviderName(hSC,
szCardName,
SCARD_PROVIDER_CSP,
(LPTSTR)&szProvider,
&chProvider);
if (SCARD_S_SUCCESS == lReturn)
{
BOOL fSts = TRUE;
HCRYPTPROV hProv = NULL;
message("successfully reads the provider name\n >> %S: \n",szProvider);
//
__try
{
// Acquire a Cryptographic operation context.
fSts = CryptAcquireContext(&hProv,
NULL,
szProvider,
PROV_RSA_FULL,
0);
if(!fSts)
{
message("crypt aquire context failed\n");
}
}
__finally
{
if (CryptReleaseContext(hProv,0))
{
mesage("The handle has been released.\n");
}
else
{
message("The handle could not be released.\n");
}
}
// Free memory allocated by SCardGetCardTypeProviderName.
lReturn = SCardFreeMemory(hSC, szProvider);
}
}
lReturn = SCardReleaseContext(hSC);
if(SCARD_S_SUCCESS != lReturn)
{
printf("failed in release context");
}
Links for log file are here win 7 Log for app for win 7 win 8.1 Log for above app on win 8.1 log for win 7 while try to run the application
