My driver (WDM) will install on Vista 32-bit. When I tried to install it on
windows 7 64-bit, I get the error message, "Device driver software was not
successfully isntalled - No Driver found.

I assumed it was a inf problem. I added the .ntamd64 but still got the same
error message. I have not tried it on Vista 64 or Windows 7 32
Here is a copy of my inf file. I have removed the .nt extension that was
used to install the driver on XP and Vista 32. What am I doing wrong?

Did you sign your driver, if not it will not install on Windows 7 64-bit,
unless you do the explicit overrride on each boot. There is a good
article explaining signatures in http://insider.osr.com/2010/JulAug2010.pdf

Thank you, I did not know you had to have your driver signed. More stuff to
learn.

Signing aside, you haven't properly decorated your Manufacturer and Models
sections.

You can look here for more information about the platform decorations:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff547454(v=VS.85).aspx

You can also look in %windir%\inf\* for some examples of how to do it
correctly.
