Jeff,

On Windows XP, I see this in the MSI log:

DIFXAPP: INFO: ENTER: DriverPackageInstallW
DIFXAPP: INFO: rausbcip.inf: Skipping DFX signature verification.
DIFXAPP: INFO: Copying 'rausbcip.inf' to driver store...
DIFXAPP: INFO: Copying 'VirtualBackplane.sys' to driver store...
DIFXAPP: INFO: Copying 'rapnp.sys' to driver store...
DIFXAPP: INFO: Copying 'rausbcip.sys' to driver store...

On Windows 2000, I see this:

DIFXAPP: INFO: ENTER: DriverPackageInstallW
DIFXAPP: ERROR: rausbcip.inf: Driver package 'D:\Program Files\Rockwell
Automation\Rockwell Automation USB CIP Driver Package\i386\rausbcip.inf' has
no CatalogFile entry.
DIFXAPP: INFO: Successfully removed {2F7F024E-3E97-5C21-98AD-B0AC00D05F69}
from reference list of driver store entry
DIFXAPP: INFO: RETURN: DriverPackageInstallW (0x800B0100)

I have setup my Windows 2000 machine to install drivers regardless of
signature. I am not being prompted, the install just fails.
