KMDF CoInstaller problems

I'm having a problem installing a KMDF HID filter driver.

If I use the CoInstaller binary in the 5308 WDK I get an error "The
specified resource type cannot be found in the image file". Setupact.log
suggests that the resource WDFCAB_RESOURCE cannot be found.

If I use the CoInstaller binary in the 5270 WDK I get an error "An
internal certificate chaining error has occured". The setupact.log
suggests that GetLatestInstalledVersion failed OpenFile with error 126

If I open the 5270 coinstaller in DevStudio and extract the cab resource,
right-clicking on the inf and selecting Install. Then I can install my
KMDF driver without any problems. The 5308 WDK coinstaller does not appear
to have this resource, and is significantly smaller.

Are you using the coinstaller to install on Vista or downlevel OS? If it's
on Vista, you don't need to refer the coinstaller. The framework runtime is
preinstalled on Vista.

The wdfcoinstaller.dll found in the latest build of WDK doesn't the drivers
packaged inside. We are aware of and trying to sort it out.
