Enabling kernel capture fails on systems where
%SystemRoot%\System32\driverdoes not exist. DebugView++ registersdbgvpp.sysat that location, but extraction does not create the parent directory. The Service Control Manager reports error 7000 (the system cannot find the path specified), followed by the UI error "Could not find the kernel messages driver device name".Create the driver's parent directory before extracting the embedded resource. Directory creation is idempotent, skips an empty parent path, and reports filesystem errors to the internal log before returning from extraction. The existing driver location is preserved.
Validation:
git diff --checkpassed.C:\Windows\System32\driverresolved kernel capture on the affected system. Runtime testing of the patched executable has not yet been performed.Maintainer question: Is the singular
System32\driverdirectory intentional to keep the capture driver separate, or should the location be the standardSystem32\driversdirectory? This fix preserves the current location pending clarification.
