Are you installing from the repository or from the release zip file?
FakeGPS is only built for x64 systems.
from fakegps.
I install the device driver from clone or download at https://github.com/juliankay/FakeGPS
from fakegps.
I try again with
FakeGPS v1.0.0-alpha2
from fakegps.
I have exact same issue as above. I get "The following hardware was not installed..." message as the screenshot shows.
from fakegps.
@Nikvand also x64?
from fakegps.
@juliankay Of course x64
from fakegps.
@juliankay I have the same error on a brand new Azure VM on Windows 10 Pro 1709 (x64 of course
from fakegps.
Thanks for the information everyone. I've not had a chance to test this on 1709 yet, but I'm going to provision a new VM to work out what's happening.
from fakegps.
Interestingly it worked first time when I installed on an existing VM which has 1709 installed, but I'll provision a fresh machine to test there.

Worked first time on a brand new VM running Windows 10 x64 version 1709.

@supra63200 can you provide repro steps? can you assure me you following the instructions correctly?
from fakegps.
- type
bcdedit /set testsigning on
in a Powershell (tried both admin and user) - Open device manager
- Select the computer
- Click Add legacy Hardware in Action Menu
- Click Next
- Select install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced)
- Select Sensors in the list and click Next
- Slect the FakeGPS.inf from the extracted release archive (in "x64 driver" folder)
- On page "ready to install click Next
- "...Installing..."
- Click Finish
Fun fact : after the fifth installation it just decided to work (did the exact same steps)
Previously after "..installing..." I had the same window as @mrchanshares
from fakegps.
Hmm. Well you need to reboot after turning on test mode, and either reboot or disable/enable the device after installation. If you've rebooted, that might have fixed your issue.
I'm not sure why it says "Fusion Sensor V2" as it says "FakeGPS Sensor" for me... bit strange!
Glad you've got it working, hopefully these steps will help other folk too.
from fakegps.
No I didn't that's the weird part it just worked after a while, no reboot necessary but it was stuck on the first start error (issue #3 ) even after reboot. So I uninstalled and reinstalled it and now it works perfectly and the name changed to FakeGPS Sensor
from fakegps.
Here is the updated walkthrough :
- type
bcdedit /set testsigning
on in a Powershell (Right click on bottm-left corner Windows icon and then click on Windows PowerShell) - Reboot the computer
- Open device manager (Right click on the Windows icon again and then on Device Manager)
- Click on the computer (First element of the list)
- Click Add legacy Hardware in Action Menu
- Click Next
- Select install the hardware that I manually select from a list (Advanced) and click Next
- Click Next again
- Click on "Have Disk" and then "Browse" and select the FakeGPS.inf from the extracted release archive (in "x64 driver" folder)
- On page "ready to install click Next
- Wait for the installation to complete
- Click on Finish
- Activate the driver:
- By rebooting the computer
- By Disabling the driver and re-enabling it again in the Device Manager(Right click on "FakeGPS Sensor and click Disable/Enable Device)
- Open a PowerShell and navigate to the FakeGPS.exe folder (In the root of the extracted archive)
- Use it by typing .\FakeGPS.exe -g or .\FakeGPS -s lat,long (ex: 1.2,3.4)

Why I cannot do this? I am in Windows 10 x 64 Home
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> bcdedit /set testsigning
The set command specified is not valid.
Run "bcdedit /?" for command line assistance.
The parameter is incorrect.
from fakegps.
@mrchanshares as per the instructions:
from fakegps.
Maybe it can only be done on tablet device? My Window 10 is installed on a laptop made 3 years ago without touchscreen.
from fakegps.
@mrchanshares I think you probably just need to type the command correctly 🙂
bcdedit /set testsigning on
I don't know of any reason why it shouldn't work for you (though I haven't tested it on Windows 10 Home). I think it's just a user error here I'm afraid, I hope you work it out!
from fakegps.
Closed as there is no problem installing on Windows 10 x64, but I have opened #17 to track improved documentation.
from fakegps.
why i've this error " Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
from fakegps.
why i've this error " Object reference not set to an instance of an object."
this stopped happening to me after i open the MAPS app for windows and accept the popup. Then i tried FakeGPS -g and voila!
from fakegps.
@rangelrmorais That was it! I have no idea why this would be, I've even used my windows "device gps" in another application without complaint.
