I followed the instructions and was able to build everything in the solution using the Release | x64 Target. I did upgrade the projects to use 2022 c++ runtime and the 10.0.22621.0 SDK. VirtualCamera_MSI_x64 installed without any errors and I'm running C:\Program Files\Contoso\VirtualCamera_MSI\VirtualCamera_Installer.exe from an elevated command prompt. I'm selecting (1)register -> (1)Vcam-SimpleMediaSource -> (2)Session -> (1) Current User. I get the following output

Register virtual camera...
 device string: {7B89B92E-FE71-42D0-8A41-E137D06EA184}
 friendly name: SWVCamMediaSource
 Lifetime: 0

 (null)(0):(null), hr=0x80073D57, msg=

 Start camera
 Succeeded!

The 2 (null) lines and not running in app package are printing in yellow. Even though it claims things succeeded no new camera is being created - I've checked the following places

  • Device manger / Imaging Devices
  • Camera App
  • remove, TestVCam and TestCustomControl all print No Virtual camera found
