Driver Installation on Windows 7

Renewal of the "Code Signing For Microsoft Authenticode" certificate for Euresys drivers and SHA-256 support

Important: Since April 2016, Euresys drivers have been signed with a new SHA-256 code-signing certificate, which is required by Microsoft since January 2016 following its SHA-1 deprecation schedule.

Microsoft Windows 7 and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 now require at least SP1 as well as some specific Windows updates in order to support SHA-256 certificates.

Important: The following Windows updates are required and must be installed before using Euresys drivers on Microsoft Windows 7 and Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2:

●

KB3033929 (provides support for SHA-256 certificates which are required by Microsoft): without this one, a “Windows cannot verify the digital signature for the drivers required for this device” (code 52) error will prevent the Euresys drivers from loading.

●

KB2921916: this hot-fix avoids the “Would you like to install this driver software?” dialog to pop up at each driver installation (see picture below), even if the user checked the “Always trust software from “Euresys s.a.” check box

“Would you like to install this driver software?” pop-up message
