Does WinPE contain a certificate store?
We have a KMDF driver that needs to be included as a PnP driver in a custom
WinPE image. The image fails to boot cleanly, and we believe the reason is
because the WdfCoInstaller complains about the signatures on the Wdf.cab
file, which is self-extracted from the co-installer. What's going on here?

A summary of our exchange:
Microsoft does not support coinstallers in WinPE.
Vishal kindly listed for me the steps required to get KMDF installed in my
WinPE image. These are:
1) adding wdf01000.sys to the WinPE image,
2) adding wdfldr.sys to the WinPE image, and
3) Adding a couple of registry keys in setupreg.hiv.
We have implemented these steps, and are now able to successfully boot WinPE
with a KMDF PnP driver.

I have a critical follow on question. The next steps in our OEM development
are:
(1) to execute an unattended network install from the booted WinPE system, and
(2) to create a customized bootable Windows CD that includes a KMDF boot
driver.
In both cases, our storage (boot) driver uses KMDF. How does the
WdfCoInstaller become involved in the text-mode setup phase of installation
and boot? Is there some registry magic that must be added to the
Config.<DriverKey> section of the txtsetup.oem?
