Hello, I have a similar issue - since 2 weeks ago I had a 8.1 Pro on a Vostro 3560 but later I've had to reinstall the OS. Since when I reinstalled the OS, the driver is not working anymore and the driver installation reflects the same error as from the first post. It was working before the re-installation and it was working fine - now it's not working anymore and I don't have any feedback about how to get out from this... Hoping to have news from Dell Support very soon. Thanks, Marco.
At the beginning, I couldnt setup the fingerprint logon with automatic drivers, I dont know why. Tried driver for win 8, but ir gave me the error message. Then installed Dell driver for win7 using compability install option. Did not work . I rolled back driver to the previous version . It was synaptics driver which was automatically installed by windows 8.1.
Synaptics FP Sensors (WBF) (PID=0011)
Provider: Synaptics FP Sensors Date: 19.01.2015
Version: 4.5.282.0
Hardware IDs: USB\VID_138A&PID_0011&REV_0078
It worked perfectly for account logon.
P.S Dell supported drivers does not work very well, especially for windows 8 (8.1).
Luckily, windows 8.1 installed most of the drivers. The only one i had to install manually was accelerometer . Win7 x64 version worked on win8.1 as far as i remember

Hi,
I have a DELL Vostro 3560 with Vallidity Fingerprint sensor.
Under Win8 64Bit, I haven't had any problems.
After installimg Win8.1 64Bit, I was able to install the driver, but it didn't work (only sometimes and only for Win-logon, not for the applications).
After a lot of EMails with DELL support, they agreed, that the driver doesn't work, I should wait for a driver in the future.
Regards
Juergen
