TAP v9 got installed, now nothing works
[us] Shadow Hawkins on Sunday, 13 June 2010 22:31:30
I recently got IPv6 working with AICCU Command Line on Windows XP...then I went on vacation and a windows update upgraded from TAPv8 to TAPv9 and everything stopped; I tried reinstalling, and now nothing seems to work. Originally, I tried the GUI mode for AICCU and it seemed to fail; I'm behind a NAT device with a static IP, so I tried setting things with 'netsh', and with the console mode, I got things to work, but it created 'aiccu' rather than 'sixxs' interface. I read the FAQ and it said that if there is a mismatch in names, and there is more than one interface, AICCU will fail, so I disabled any/all other TAP interfaces. I uninstalled IPv6 and reinstalled, and tried to recreate...not successful. At one point, 'autotest' worked up until part 6, indicating a route/interface problem (I disabled my firewall, usual ports are open on router). Since I tried to reinstall TAPv8, and I deleted the entries, though 'aiccu' still lists itself as v9, and I get a general failure of "No Working TAP device Found" ----------------snippet from autotest---------------- Succesfully retrieved tunnel information for T32857 sock_printf() : "QUIT Schaltet den schmerz ab" Tunnel Information for T32857: PoP Id : usphx01 IPv6 Local : 2001:1938:81:12d::2/64 IPv6 Remote : 2001:1938:81:12d::1/64 Tunnel Type : ayiya Adminstate : enabled Userstate : enabled Name : My First Tunnel Flag: HAS_IFHEAD not present Flag: NEED_IFHEAD not present [warning] Couldn't open registry key: SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0000\ComponentId (t2/2 vs 0/1704 vs 1) Found interface named 'aiccu', with guid {08FD43E5-D33A-4ACD-99D6-257EAEE12011}, using it [tun-start] Trying \\.\Global\{08FD43E5-D33A-4ACD-99D6-257EAEE12011}.tap [error] [tun-start] Problem while enumerating key SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Network\{4D36E972-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318} [error] [tun-start] No working Tap device found!

Unless magic truly exists, I really do not think Microsoft (Windows Updates) upgrades any TAP drivers for you.
Originally, I tried the GUI mode for AICCU and it seemed to fail;
The GUI version indeed does not support the v9 TAP driver. You need the newest console version for that.
I'm behind a NAT device with a static IP, so I tried setting things with 'netsh',
And I can only assume you did mess up something which now has completely broken your setup. Please do a 'netsh interface ipv6 reset' to go back to the default IPv6 settings. This might not remove any interfaces you manually created/misconfigured though, I am not sure there, maybe for that matter a better path is to uninstall IPv6, reboot, and re-install it again.
so I disabled any/all other TAP interfaces.
How is doing that going to help anything? AICCU cannot fix any misconfigurations.
Found interface named 'aiccu', with guid {08FD43E5-D33A-4ACD-99D6-257EAEE12011}, using it
Only thing I can guess what you might want to try is to remove all TUN/TAP interfaces and re-install them.
