[QUOTE="edsche, post: 623402, member: 28762"] For those how have problems with the msi file, i have an alternative. For me the msi file didn't work, but now i figured out how to add BDA support to Win2k8 R2 without using this MSI file. Preconditions: [LIST] [*]Installed .net Framework 3.5.1 [*]Installed Desktop Expierience [/LIST] How to add BDA support to Win2k8 R2: [LIST=1] [*]Download my attachment [*]Extract to your windows drive (mainly C:\). When you don't extract to your windows drive it won't work! [*]Have a look into the folder "C:\bdaforserver\Setup For x64" and edit the file "Get BDA Vista Files.bat" [*]Change every "en-US" string to your language. For me it was "de-DE" [*]Save the file and run it on YOUR Windows 7 x64 PC. This is important because R2 is only x64 and you need an Windows 7 X64 PC. [*]Open and edit the file "Setup BDA.bat" [*]Change every "en-US" string to your language. For me it was "de-DE" [*]Now again a very important part. Press ALT + R and type "%systemroot%\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository" [*]A folder window should pop up. Now search a folder which begins with "bda.inf_" and copy that name to your clipboard. [*]Now look again in the "Setup BDA.bat" file and look for the 3. row. There should be a folder in the copy path, named "bda.inf_57d991b5". [*]Replace that folder name ("bda.inf_57d991b5") to you before copied (Clipboard!) folder name you've found in "%systemroot%\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository" [*]Now save the file ("Setup BDA.bat").

This is important! There could be some access denied errors but you can ignore them, because these file existed already. [*]After the next restart it should work without problems! You can install your BDA driver now. For me it worked even after the installation of the BDA drivers :D [/LIST] Btw: This script is not created by me.
