Hi,

I can't connect either my iPhone or my iPad to a Windows or Mac VM runnning under Workstation 12. Both of these devices worked fine previously under Windows 7. I thought it might be a fault with my Mac VM initially but upon further testing, it occurs under my Windows VM also.

Vmware Player Usb Driver Error Windows 10

As soon as I connect the device to the VM Guest, it re-detects the USB device under the device manager (as standard) to pass through the driver but fails to do so, generally with a code 28 driver error.

NOTE: both ipad and iphone, appear to be working fine under Windows 10 directly, it's only the USB passthrough. 'Portable Devices / Apple iPhone' works fine (5s) USBVID_05AC&PID_12A8&MI_000

Driver is a Microsoft based one 21-Jun-06 (10.0.10586.0)

Upon connection to the VM it appears in

'Other Devices iPhone' (yellow exclamation mark) 'The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

There are no compatible drivers for this device.

To find a driver for this device, click Update Driver.' Instance Path

USBVID_0E0F&PID_00016B0B06A45478C44277538271CD5D1250510A5E24

NOTE: I have attempted to simply re-load the iPhone driver in again it doesn't seem to work. Anyone dealt with this?
