Re: paravirtualized windows net driver for vista does not work on windows 2008 (64-bit)

[Dor Laor <dor.laor@qumranet.com>]

Sorry for that, seems like there where some instructions missing.
Since we did not (yet & soon) sign the drivers you need to install a 
certificate workaround manually:

There are 2 things to do on 64-bit before installation.
1. Install certificate using installcertificate.bat
2. If "Test mode" does not appear on the screen, run "bcdedit /set 
testsigning on" and reboot

The system diagnostic, related to installation, on 2008 is in 
%windir%\inf\setupapi.dev.log
Please compress the file and send, if both 2 things done but the install 
does not work.

Regards,
Dor
