When you say "it doesn't work on Vista 64-bit" what isn't working? Please
provide more details.
Thanks,

Hi,

I am upto go with making Test signing for my driver set (UsbSer.sys +
MyConvert.INF). i followed the KMCS_walkthrough.doc which explains how to
proceed to obtain a test sign the data in summary says so -
1. Prepare a computer for test-signing.
2. Create a test certificate by using MakeCert.
3. Create a catalog file by using MakeCat or Inf2Cat.
4. Test-sign the catalog file by using SignTool.
5. Install the test certificate in the Trusted Root Certification
Authorities certificate store.

Now coming to my issue, i am through step 2. but for step 3 (using the
Toaster examples .CMD script file in WDK(6000)) i am not able to generate
a
.cat file to proceed further in which "Signability" tool is used in the
.cmd
file

did anyone encounter the same before, i came to know that "INF2Cat" is the
one much effective, but in vain, neither i could get it as standalone nor
with "winqual submission tool .msi setup".

Thankful if any one could suggest how to proceed either "how to generate a
.CAT file using signability" else a place to get inf2cat.exe (and its
components).


I tried to sign the driver itself, but it doesn't work on Vista 64-bit. It
seems like self-signing is not working.
If you do it, please share the secret with me :-)
