I am having dificulties with the self signing process in Windows 7.
I am following the selfsign.cmd sample in the WDK to test sign my printer
driver and can successfully sign for XP but Windows 7 is still asking for
permission when installing the driver that is self signed.
Is there a known issue with Windows 7 and the self sign tools?

I am using the WDK 7600.16385.0 and the tools therein.

you need to enable the "testsigning" on Windows 7 using bcdedit. Otherwise it
does not accept any test signatures.

Thank you for the answer. I have looked at bcdedit but can't find an option
testsigning, How shall I use bcdedit to enable testsigning?

Try:
bcdedit.exe /set TESTSIGNING ON

Found my answer :)

The TESTSIGNING boot configuration option is enabled or disabled through the
BCDEdit command. To enable test-signing, use the following BCDEdit command:

CopyBcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING ON
To disable test-signing, use the following BCDEdit command:

CopyBcdedit.exe -set TESTSIGNING OFF
Note After you change the TESTSIGNING boot configuration option, restart
the computer for the change to take effect.

To use BCDEdit, you must be a member of the Administrators group on the
system and run the command from an elevated command prompt. To open an
elevated Command Prompt window, create a desktop shortcut to Cmd.exe,
right-click the Cmd.exe shortcut, and select Run as administrator.
