inf: Failed to Catalog

When installing a driver package on a 64bit Windows Vista system, we see the following error in setup.api.dev during the SetupCopyOEMInf phase:

>> [SetupCopyOEMInf - C:\Windows\system32\DriverStore\FileRepository\netaapl64.inf_7e8ed503\netaapl64.inf]

Anybody knows what could cause this issue?
Thanks for any help,

Did you sign the CAT file? Did you sign the driver file?
