Symptoms

Consider the following scenario:

  • You have a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2.

  • You install a driver that is signed by an SHA256, SHA384, or SHA512 certificate, and the "Untrusted publisher" dialog box appears.

  • You click to select the Always trust check box and then click OK.

  • You uninstall the driver.

  • You install the same driver again.

In this scenario, the "Untrusted publisher" dialog box appears even though you already set the Always trust option to always trust the publisher.

Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 file information and notes

Important Windows 7 hotfixes and Windows Server 2008 R2 hotfixes are included in the same packages. However, hotfixes on the Hotfix Request page are listed under both operating systems. To request the hotfix package that applies to one or both operating systems, select the hotfix that is listed under "Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2" on the page. Always refer to the "Applies To" section in articles to determine the actual operating system that each hotfix applies to.

  • The files that apply to a specific product, SR_Level (RTM, SPn), and service branch (LDR, GDR) can be identified by examining the file version numbers as shown in the following table.

    Version

    Product

    SR_Level

    Service branch

    6.1.760 1. 18xxx

    Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

    SP1

    GDR

    6.1.760 1. 22xxx

    Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2

    SP1

  • The MANIFEST files (.manifest) and the MUM files (.mum) that are installed for each environment are listed separately in the "Additional file information for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2" section. MUM and MANIFEST files, and the associated security catalog (.cat) files, are extremely important to maintain the state of the updated components. The security catalog files, for which the attributes are not listed, are signed with a Microsoft digital signature.
