SPAPI_E_IN_WOW64
SPAPI_E_IN_WOW64 (0x800F0235) is a Windows SetupAPI driver-installation error. This code means a 32-bit process running under WOW64 tried to perform a SetupAPI operation that requires a native process context. It is an installer or management-tool architecture issue, not a device-driver defect.
What to check
- Run the native 64-bit management tool from an elevated 64-bit command prompt on 64-bit Windows.
- For custom software, use a native helper process for the restricted SetupAPI operation.
- Check whether the same action succeeds through the built-in PnPUtil tool.
