I was creating submission package for Vista 32 bit with Winqual submission
tool and received this message:
---------------------------
You have not included Windows Vista 64-bit DTM test results in this
submission.

Per Windows Logo Program requirements, Windows Vista 64-bit logs for this
device or system must be submitted within 60 days of the 32-bit submission,
unless this is an integrated device on x86 architecture.

Do you wish to continue?
---------------------------
Yes No
---------------------------

I selected "Yes" and submission package was created successfully

We don't plan to support 64 bit Vista at this time. What will happen if we
don't submit 64 bit drivers within 60 days (or at all)?

Microsoft has made it quite clear for the last serveral years, that you
will not be logo'd without submitting 64-bit drivers for Vista. They are
trying to break the chicken and the egg problem of people won't buy 64-bit
without drivers and driver developers won't build for 64-bit without sales.
Support 64-bit, porting your driver to x64 is a good way to find bugs in
the product.

We getting signature under unclassified submission. Are 64-bit drivers still
required in this case?

Everything I read is if it is a driver for Vista you have to support
64-bit.

From a Feb issue of WHQL news:

Windows Vista Logo Submissions x64 Policy Reminder
As a reminder, x64 drivers and associated DTM test logs are required for all
Windows Vista logo submissions. These Windows Logo Program requirements are
documented for systems (SYSFUND-0093) and devices (DEVFUND-0014). To clarify,
x64 drivers are required for all Windows Vista submissions, x86 drivers are
optional. The exception to this policy is integrated devices on x86
architectures.

Until June 01, 2007, you are allowed to make an x64 submission within 60
days from the date you make a x86 submission for your device or system. After
that date, all Vista submissions must contain x64 drivers. Microsoft will
perform periodic audits to verify adherence to this policy.

Users upgrading to Windows Vista desire x64 drivers. We encourage you to
submit both x86 and x64 drivers in the same submission. As a benefit, if you
make one submission with both x86 and x64 Vista drivers and logs, you will be
charged only $250.00 USD. If however, you make two separate submissions, one
for x86 and another for x64, you will be billed for two submissions (2 x
250.00 = $500.00 USD).

I got the same message about 64-bit being required when creating the
submission package for 32-bit. And, I intend to submit 64-bit drivers as soon
as the DTM tests complete.

But, I am treating both 32 and 64-bit differently and so each solution has
their own INF file specific to the 32 or 64-bit platform. This way, if for
some reason one of the drivers needs to change on one platform, it doesn't
invalidate the signature for the other platform.

Is this acceptable to satisfy this requirement?

Also, if I wait a day or two for the DTM tests to complete so I can include
the 64-bit results in the 32-bit submission package, will this be treated as
a single submission, or will it still be considered a different submission
because it uses a different INF file?

Thanks,
Rob

You can have two separate driver packages. Once for Vista 32 and other for
Vista 64. When you create driver submission package, include both Vista 32
and Vista 64 test results and it will create a single .cab file which you
then submit to WHQL, and is treated as a single submission.

Hi

I have completed the dtm tests for win vista 32 and 64 bit. The test results
are showing 100%. in some cases i have omitted tests for the child nodes of
the driver, means i have a usb to serial multiport device. by installing the
driver it will create 2 virtaul com ports. i have omitted some tests for one
of virtaul comport but the result is showing 100%. Is it ok for the
submission?

Please let me know.

Thanks and Regards

merry.
