Hello, We have a driver (and his source code) that runs on Windows XP/VISTA/7 but not on Windows 8. Installation (NSIS) goes to the end but the driver is not installed. It is a driver who create a virtual printer. When you want to print a document, you should be able to choose the new printer (which is not the case in win8). We tried to sign the driver with a certificate (mandatory on win8) but it was not enough to make it work. We are looking for someone who could successfully port the driver to windows 8.

Hello! From your description (driver works successfully on Windows 7) I see two main possible issues, which can lead to specified behavior: 1. Some *.inf or certificate error. This issue looks easy enough to fix. Note that you must have valid certificate issued by trusted certificate authority. Self-issued certificates won't work for that. 2. You install your driver on 64-bit Windows 8, while the driver is 32-bit binary. In this case modification will much more time, but if you have compile-able sources for it, it is still possible. In my bid I set some average value between these two choices. I can give more precise cost/time estimate if you provide some more information (driver/OS bitness, error code for unsuccessful installation etc). Ideally it would be nice to get your signed driver binaries (if it's possible) in order to try and evaluate it locally. Best regards, Ivan

Bonjour, J'ai lu votre message et j'ai compris votre souci. Je suis programmeur des logiciels et je pense que je peux vous aider.

Je vous contacte dès que le pilote marche et après vous pouvez me donner le projet sur Freelancer. Pour me contacter vous pouvez aller sur vgtech.ch.
