I just got a Mellanox ConnectX-2 MNPA19-XTR card and I can't get it to work. When I open the WinOF driver "MLNX_VPI_WinOF-5_35_All_Win7_x64.exe" it extracts several files somewhere but doesn't seem to do anything else and my card still shows in the device manager with a yellow exclamation mark.
--------------------UPDATE--------------------
I managed to get the driver installed by going to "C:\ProgramData\Downloaded Installations\{9C8A5166-8250-44EB-9ADF-F76B715CD9F2}" and unpacking "MLNX_VPI.msi" and then unpacking "Data1.cab". I then pointed the driver install utility to that folder and it installed the driver.
BUT...
Although the driver is installed. It is giving me a "This device cannot start. (Code 10)" error in the device manager. Any idea how to solve this?
--------------------UPDATE 2--------------------
I was able to properly install this card and everything is working perfectly. There were other issues I was having with this process that I did not detail here but long story short, my System32 folder was missing "msiexec.exe" so once I copied it back over from another Win7 computer and installed the 64bit version of the KB2999226 update, I was successfully able to install the Mellanox drivers.
Yes, I know I am a dumbass.
