Startservice FAILED with code 183

[DJMalachite]

Tried running the script but returns

[>] Installing driver...
[SC] CreateService SUCCESS

[>] Starting driver...
[SC] StartService FAILED 183:

Cannot create a file when that file already exists.


[>] Uninstalling driver...
[SC] DeleteService SUCCESS
[!] Driver start failed

PS C:\Windows\system32>

Any advice on how to get a work around?

I have not seen this error before, so I can only speculate.
Maybe you already have the WinRing0 driver installed and started on your system, as it is also used by some other tools.

You can try to comment out the install/start/stop/uninstall functions for the driver with a #:

InstallDriver

However, keep in mind that we do not recommend to have that driver loaded for longer than it is need (see the Caveats section in the README.md).
