Hi All,

I’m writing an Intermediate driver for Win2K3 server OS.
Im facing an issue when I tried to create a Virtual Adapter which is getting
failed.
By looking at the setupapi.log it shows the below error.

Can anybody help in root causing the issue?
FYI, The driver is already test signed

@ 12:43:04.718 #V011 Installing section [MYIMM.ndi.Interfaces] from
“c:\windows\inf\oem19.inf”.

@ 12:43:04.750 #V054 Interfaces installed.

Any help would be really appreciated

Have you installed the WHQL test certificate?

thanks for replying and the answer to your question. It is not WHQL signed
but it is TEST signed

Thanks

Dont remember having to test sign for any os before Vista64. is the win2k3
ploicy set to allow only signed drivers ? is your certificate added to the
trusted root in local system ? if driver sign is the problem try installing
without this ploicy and check.

Thanks for replying me.

Issue is when I tried to create thru my CLI application [say myapp.exe for
creating the virtual adapter] it is working fine.
Whereas when I create a JAVA based GUI application, I’m getting Error 1168.
No driver binaries got changed for these two applications. Both uses the
same driver binaries.

Also I have enabled the driver signing as “warn” so that it prompts for
driver signing warning while creating the Virtual adapter and it is
prompting, when I run the CLI application.
Whereas it is not giving any error but the setupapi shows the Error 1168
when I run the GUI application

Any idea?
Thanks in advance

Are you trying to create an installer ? or are you trying to access your
driver ?

It seems you are creating an installer, if so then whatever problem you are
having is not related to driver sigining, check your driver install fuctions
on what is actually failing.
