Driver Signing: Vista: Driver File details: Digital signer

[kota]

Hi,

We have followed the driver signing as it explained in the below paper:
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/winlogo/drvsign/kmcs_walkthrough.mspx.
In the device manager: in Driver Tab, it shows the digital signer: as our
company name. but not in "Driver File details/Digital signer", here it shows
as not digitally signed.

Also in system info(msinfo32 from Run), here under software
environment\signed drivers also, it shows that driver is "not signed".

Also tried with below sequence to test it, but result is same.
1) signed the driver 2) stamped the inf 3) generate the catalogue 4) sign
the catalogue 5) verified the catalogue with sys & inf.

With this sequence also, it shows that driver is not signed in driver file
details & system info\signeddrivers, but it shows that it is signed in driver
tab.

Question 1. Why in Driver file details it is not shown as above?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2): We followed the same sequence for xp-32 & xp-64, here it shows the WHQL
pop up that not signed, also in device manager\driver tab also, it is not
showing that driver is signed, where as in vista atleast here it is signed.

I tried to install the xp-32 driver package on vista-32, it works in above
vista-32 way.

Question 2) Why is xp is not showing the signing details atleast like vista.

Note: We have verisign SPC, while installing in vista, it shows that our
company as publisher for this driver.

Thanks,
Kota.

Thanks,
Kota

For this, you must obtain a WHQL signature.
