577 on Win2k8 64 bit on start driver

NTDEV
1

Hi,

I have build a TDI driver using Windows 2008 x64 Free build environment. I am building my driver on a 64 bit Windows 7. The build works fine.

When I am trying to start the driver, say using “net start MyDriver”, I get error 577. Same driver build on 2k3-32, 2k3-64 and 2k8-32 works fine!

Am I missing something while building the driver?

Thanks in advance,

Is your driver signed?

Your .SYS file is not signed.

If you look up error 577 it gives the answer:

"Windows cannot verify the digital signature for this file. A recent
hardware or software change might have installed a file that is signed
incorrectly or damaged, or that might be malicious software from an unknown
source. "

64-but driver on Vista and later MUST be signed using the WDK signing tools.

After signing the driver is working fine.

Thanks very much…
