Failed to connect to Virtual Smart Card, is the driver installed? #1

The following happens on Server 2019 (build 17763.2931).

  • I have installed using PIVert.exe install
  • In device manager I can see the "Bix Virtual Smart Card Reader"
  • when calling PIVert.exe mypfx password I get the following error:

[!] Failed to connect to Virtual Smart Card, is the driver installed?

When installing the driver again, I get slightly different behaviour:

[=] Connected to Smartcard Event Pipe
[+] Connected Virtal Smart Card Driver
[+] Virtual card inserted
[=] Press ESC to exit, or any other key to remove and reinsert the virtual card?
[=] Unsupported INS ca with CLA 0
[=] Unsupported INS ca with CLA 0
[+] Virtual card removed
[+] Virtual card inserted```

However when I start an RDP connection it doesn't give me access to a smartcard nor is there a smart card visible in device manager (just the smart card reader)

I can see the following in the eventlog:
Could not get device ID for smart card in reader Virtual Smart Card Pipe Reader 0. The return code is 2148532239. (https://www.magnumdb.com/search?q=0x8010000F -> SCARD_E_PROTO_MISMATCH)

and 

Smart Card Reader 'Virtual Smart Card Pipe Reader 0' rejected IOCTL SET_PROTOCOL: The request is not supported.  If this error persists, your smart card or reader may not be functioning correctly.
