HCT 11.2 - TestDrivers failure

Can someone help me understand what this error means:

ERROR: 71: Signability Test failed to run, TestDrivers function call failed.

This is from a run of HCT with an NDIS IM driver. Also, the driver is not
binary compatible (it's only used for XP). Would that cause this problem.

Have you enabled debug output in NDISTEST and connected a debugger or
running a tool that can display debug ouput messages?

Not being binary compatible should not be a problem (it is AFAIK no
longer required and/or recommended). Especially if your IM has also
been compiled for XP.

Sounds more like your driver file cannot be accessed for some reason.

Unfortunately, the signability test is not part of NDISTEST. There's no way
that I can see to enable debug output through this test.

Well, I downloaded the signabilty test update (mercsetup.exe) from WHQL and
it ran just fine. However, I had to go through hoops to get this installed.
I unzipped it to a local directory and then ran signability.exe on its own.
However, once I do that, I can no longer run the signability test from the
Test Manager (it always tries to install the update and fails). Does anyone
know anything about this?
