I have been able to recertify some USB drivers and install them on Vista 64 and Windows 7 64 bit. These drivers are used by my Windows application and I have been able to package the windows application and the certified UBS drivers in one VS 2008 setup & deploy install package.

The issue is the new .msi is not certified so windows displays the “do you want to allow the following program from and unknown publisher to make changes to the computer?�/p>

Apparently if I create a install program with my application and the USB install it always is included I the .msi which means I cannot certify the .msi. From what I have read my only option is to use the BMG.

I have started reading the documentation and I am confused enough to ask if this is the correct path and if anyone has any hints on using the BMG to install a USB driver?

You don't "certify" the setup - you sign it after building it. You'll needa certificate and a post-build step using signtool.exe.

After that it will display the publisher (the name on the certificate).

Sorry I was not clear. I have the certificate from signining the USB drivers and used it to sign the .msi. At this point it quite installing on Windows 7 x64. Either the signing caused an issue or I changed something. I am going back a few versions and retesting to see which caused the problem.

We signing a msi do anything to the signed drivers in the msi?

Hi BarberColman,

You said: Either the signing caused an issue or I changed something. I am going back a few versions and retesting to see which caused the problem.

Could you please provide more information about the problem?
