For the DriverKeyName, frequently the file name of the file
used, is inside the file itself. The Wpdmtp.inf file does
*not* have its name inside the file. If USBTreeView is
scanning all the INF text files for that string, that
could account for a failure to find it.

I have a theory that whatever you're using, that INF
file has an "INCLUDE" statement in it. Which is not
getting loaded, and is causing the Service Definition
problem. If the file used "INCLUDEs" another file, that
file must be available for the resulting file to be
fully defined.

Initially I thought that maybe the HUDL2 had "lost its identity"
and was claiming to be something else. But one other poster
has a HUDL2 with the same VID and PID. The Asus corporation
has the Pegatron operation, which makes OEM computers for
the likes of Tesco. It's not a surprise that Tesco hasn't
purchased a membership with USB.org and registered its
own unique VID. Nothing is harmed by riding Pegatron coattails.

    %GenericMTP.DeviceDesc%=MTP, USB\VID_1D4D&PID_504A&MI_00

Unfortunately, nothing in the USBTreeView can help us
with the  USB\MS_COMP_MTP  part.

Since you hacked the file but used the wrong ID string,
right now it must be matching on the   USB\MS_COMP_MTP  part.

So something about the INF file itself is deficient. Either
it's trying to INCLUDE something that does not exist, or
it's the wrong INF file that is getting used. And something
you did recently, has installed yet another INF file similar
in nature to the OS one.

Remember, there are

1) wpdmtp.inf is provided by Windows Media Player 11 installation.
    Windows XP users were expected to install Windows Media Player 11 or
    better, to get that EXE file I was showing you in a previous post.

2) <vendor_specific_file>.inf if your HUDL2 comes with its
    own Windows installation package. <vendor_specific_file>.inf
    would INCLUDE wpdmtp.inf. A vendor specific file won't work,
    unless the Microsoft material in (1) is present. The purpose
    of a vendor specific file, is if  USB\MS_COMP_MTP  is not
    being presented to the Plug and Play the OS uses. And it cannot
    "see" the device properly. Your evidence is the device is seen,
    but during load of the INF, some INCLUDE material is missing.

Otherwise, the device has formed an endpoint and is connected.
It is presenting the MTP string. I have no MTP devices here
to verify what that should look like. But I suspect all is
well on that end. It doesn't say PTP for picture protocol
or ADB for Android Debug Bus, or use a standard class identifier
that equates to USB_Mass_Storage. So I'm guessing at this point,
it's not the device end that's a problem.

You are going to need to look at the INF files that are
associated with MTP in your INF folder.

You also need to examine the setupapi.log file, as I instructed
you to do, in case there are any breadcrumbs that amplify on
the "service definition" problem. The very end of the setupapi.log
may have error messages. It's worth a check.

*******

The INF file presented here, I can't tell what OS this is for.
It's yet another example of what is supposed to be loading
an MTP device in Windows.
