SCARD_E_INVALID_TARGET
SCARD_E_INVALID_TARGET Smart-card startup information in the registration database is missing or invalid. This usually affects card or reader configuration lookup rather than a physical card transaction.
What to inspect
- Determine which database-management or provider-lookup call returned the error and record the requested card or reader target.
- Verify the supported card type, provider, and minidriver registration installed by the issuer package.
- Avoid deleting registry entries as a first step; repair the specific supported middleware or minidriver installation instead.
