Hi All,

We have bought a Driver signing certificate from Godaddy and were able to sign the drivers successfully.
Able to install the drivers on Win10 OS without issue, but Win7 expects the certificate to be manually installed into Trusted Root prior to driver installation.

Win10 seem to install the certificates as part of driver package installation, which is not the case with Win7 and shows that driver is not signed.
On manual installation of certificates into trusted root, we do not see any issue on Win7 as well.

Tried to install through bat file like below, but didn't help much.
Command used are :
* Certmgr.exe /all /add certificatefilename.cer /s /r localMachine root
* certutil -addstore -enterprise -f -v root "mycert.cer"

Is there any other better method which takes care of auto certs installation in Win7 like Win10? Please let me know if anything is unclear

Thanks in advance.
