SPAPI_E_DRIVER_NONNATIVE

SPAPI_E_DRIVER_NONNATIVE (0x800F0234) is a Windows SetupAPI driver-installation error. This code means the selected driver targets a different platform from the current system. The mismatch can be architecture-related, such as x86 versus x64 or ARM64, or tied to a platform-specific INF section.

What to check

  • Verify the system architecture and the architecture stated by the vendor package.
  • Inspect the INF for platform-specific model sections that should match the current Windows installation.
  • Do not attempt to install a package for another architecture through compatibility mode or manual copying.
