Thanks James, good point. The driver will be signed for production; it just isn't at the moment. I shouldn't need the Legacy option. I've been mulling over perUser vs. perMachine installs and my conclusion is that there's no point in a per-user install because the user would need to be an admin anyway (or be elevated) to install the driver. So I was a bit surprised when my per-machine installer failed but I _think_ it's because of where I put my self-signed certificate (in the user store, not the machine store) - I just want to be sure that I'm not missing something and the install won't fail in the field, and you guys are the experts! ThanksPete
