I am trying to migrate a 32 bit vista printer driver over to a 64 bit Windows 7 environment. I have loaded WDK and set up a x64 environment on a PC running a 32 bit version of XP with SP2. I am using two .GPD files that specify the
printer parameters from the Vista driver. I have modified my INF file per the tests run by INFGATE. I have used INF2CAT to generate a .cat file for the files in my INF file. I created a test certificate per WDK
instructions and I believe I have signed this driver package with the test certificate.
On the 64 bit Windows 7 test system, I have run bcdedit.exe /SET TESTSIGNING ON and rebooted the PC. When I try to add the printer, I get the following message - "The folder doesn't contain a compatible software driver. Make sure it is
designed to work with windows for x64 based system."
I thought setting up the x64 environment would make the package x64 compatible. Can anyone point me in the right direction here ? Do I need to develop this driver on a x64 bit PC ? The documentation seems to indicate
I only need a XP computer with SP2. Is there a problem with test signing in Windows 7 ?
