I have been configuring a target machine to debug drivers.
I launched Visual Studio 2019 on the host machine,
clicked Extensions → Driver → Test → Configure Devices,
pressed "Add New Device" button and entered the IP address of the target and the host machine.
Almost of all the installation was completed successfully,
but only "Installing driver test framework" failed as follows:
ERROR: Task "Installing driver test framework" failed to complete successfully. Look at the logs in the driver test group explorer for more details on the failure.
The installation log tells as follows:
Progress event: Current: 9, Max: 15, Message: "Installing driver test framework"

I tried to executed msiexec manually, but the same error occurred.
I watched the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Testing\Runtimes\WDTF" folder while the installation,
"RunTime\WDTFInstall.DLL" was properly created and the creation log appeared before the above error log.
I struggled for several hours, but the issue has not been resolved.
Please help.
I installed the following features on the target machine:
- Windows 11 Software Develop Kit (SDK)
- Windows 11 Windows Driver Kit (WDK)
and operated in accordance with the following link:
Provision a computer for driver deployment and testing (WDK 10)
Both the target and the host machine are Windows 10 21H1 and both Windows Update say "You're up to date."
