signed drivers show as not signed - Has anyone seen this problem before.

Hello,

Has anyone seen this problem before.

When we do an unattended XP SP1 build the drivers in the
OemPnPPath get installed but are shown as not digitally
signed. Drivers that are used from the Original Setup
files are ok.

The policy setting is currently set to ignore to allow us
to install the drivers. All drivers are Digitally signed
and there is no problem using the same source files after
the build to install the device which is then shown as
signed.

our initial build uses fat32 to but is then converted
during the unattend.txt file


the Setupapi.log file contains the following :-

#E360 An unsigned or incorrectly signed
file "c:\drivers\audio\smwdmch4.inf" for driver "SoundMAX

Take a look at the what happens to the .CAT and .INF files when you do your
"build". The sys file may be in the correct directory, but the INF/CAT files
may not. These files, I believe are all needed to prove certification. The
INF files are grandfathered into the INF directory as "omen?" and I believe
the cat files are stored in CATROOT. Your second install rectifies the
latter two files and succeeds.
