SCARD_E_FILE_NOT_FOUND
SCARD_E_FILE_NOT_FOUND The smart-card file requested by the application is not present. This can mean the card was not provisioned for that object, the wrong application was selected, or the caller is using a file identifier from another card profile.
What to verify
- Confirm the selected application and parent directory before requesting the file.
- Check whether the expected file is created during card issuance, enrollment, or personalization for this specific card type.
- Do not treat the error as an access-denied condition; a missing file and a protected file require different remediation.
