How can I get a 64 bit USB driver to load in Vista 64


I am working in Vista 64 bit system.

I have a 3rdPartyUsbDriver.sys and 3rdPartyUsbDriver.inf files.

I have made the neccesary changes to the vendor & product IDs in the inf file, to work with my custom hardware. This installs and works in 'Unsigned Driver Test mode' just fine.

I now want to install this driver in 'Normal mode'. I do not care, if it pops up warnings that this driver is from a untrusted source.

What is the easiest way to do this?


Solution

  • Turns out I needed to create and sign a 'cat' file based in the .inf and .sys file.
