Test signing drivers -- need testroot.cer

NTDEV
1

Hi all.

I submitted some cab files to winqual for test signing, they sent me back
the test-signed cab files, but no instructions on how to use them. On the
internet I found this old MS document

http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:4lbyOm2eicUJ:europe.winqual.microsoft.com/help/use_help/testsignusersguide_help.aspx+test+signatures+for+windows+drivers&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=1

(the document does no longer exist on winqual, that’s why I reverted to a
google-cached one…)

and it basically says that I need to install the testroot.cer file in the
trusted root certification authorities. But they didn’t provide me such
file!

Does anyone have this file? I wanted to test all this stuff today, and the
winqual mail alias takes usually 12-24 hrs to reply…

Have a nice day

This doc walks you through the signing process, step-by-step with examples:

I’ll have a look at the document, but in any case the web page says:

This paper provides a beginning-to-end walkthrough of how to digitally sign
kernel-mode software for x64 versions of Windows Vista.

I need to test a test-signed driver on Vista 32bit and on XP, and the
test-signed CAT file was test-signed by Microsoft (winqual).
