INF for 2008 x64
Posted by muriwai on May 21st, 2008


Hi,

I have an INF file for a 32/64-bit driver which works fine on 2003 x86/x64
and 2008 x86. Server 2008 x64 does not recognize the INF saying that the
folder does not contain a compatible software driver for my device. I
enabled TESTSIGNING and signed the CAT with a WHQL test signature, but that
didn't help. Is there a magical word I need to put into INF specially for
Server 2008 x64?

Thank you

It was because of Windows failing to install drivers from Z:\ mapped to
VMWare's \\.host. Once copied to a local drive, the INF file is displayed as
signed with Authenticode and installs.
