[Xen-users] GPLPV 0.11.0.188 & Server 2008R2 Testsigning
I''m attempting to install GPLPV drivers 0.11.0.188 x64 on Windows
Server 2008R2 Enterprise edition. I''ve enabled Test Signing via the
following bcdedit command:
bcdedit /set {current} testsigning on
I was able to install 0.10.0.142, but when I try to run the 0.11.0.188 installer
I get the error message that test signing must be enabled and the installer
exits. I have rebooted in between the above command and attempting to install
the drivers, and I have the "Test Mode Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise
Build 7600" text in the lower-right corner of the desktop. Is there
something else I''m missing?
Thanks,
Nick

If so then you have hit a known bug that James has already fixed, see http://xenbits.xensource.com/ext/win-pvdrivers.hg?rev/2fd1373b5794 the installer is looking for "/testsigning" but the value is "testsigning", you can work around it by changing this key so that is has a leading / : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\CurrentControlSet\Control\SystemStartOptions As soon as you have got past that stage of the installer you can change the key back, I did exactly that because I have experienced occasional crashes when installing gplpv and I am not sure if setting the value to /testsigning would actually enable testsigning, so if the system did crash it might then reboot without testsigning enabled which will surely fail if the drivers have been installed!
