Ok i tested with a fresh vista, installing or upgrading didn't work
So we need a way for installing the driver, the old dpinst? with /F?

Because the drivers aren't signed?
I unpackt the drivers using the installer and signed them, then restarting installer and select only install drivers.

You need to set TestSign mode in boot options.
bcdedit /set testsigning yes
Uhm, and don't forget to add the CA-Cert you are using (on self signed the cert itself) to users AND systems trusted root ca's using mmc snapin certificates.

In my testing with driver signing, windows still complains that the
drivers have not passed Microsoft testing.

Can you remind me, you have confirmed that just signing them with a
self-signed cert is sufficient to get them running on Vista x64/2K8x64?
Or do you still need to flip a few switches to make it work?
