Re:inf not getting installed on Vista - error persists

Thank you very much for the reply.
I modified the inf from

> [myDriverAddReg.ntx86]
> HKR,“UpperFilters”,0x00010008,“myDriver”

to

[myDriverAddReg.ntx86]
HKLM,%CLASSKEY%,UpperFilters,0x00010008,myDriver

as per your suggestion. But the same error message
persists.

Any more ideas?
Thank you very much.
