Good news everyone!
After a LOT of mucking around I've found a way to install and use the MCE Replacement Driver on Windows Vista.
I've attached to this post a new Replacement Driver that I've compiled especially for Vista and has an installer just for Vista.
I've tested this with Vista RC1 32-bit and it's working. I can't test with 64-bit myself due to the fact that I don't own a 64-bit CPU, so if someone could test this and get back to me that would help a lot.
Now, as for the default Microsoft driver ... Well it seems Microsoft have changed the rules a little as to how this is accessed. So it's going to take me a little longer to figure it out. I've made significant progress, but I'm not their yet. Hopefully it will be very soon and I'll figure it out.
Hopefully not too long though, because my Vista RC1 activation period runs out in 10 days!
So ... Try out the attached Replacement Driver for Vista and let me know if you have any trouble. Please read the included ReadMe.TXT first though.
If this doesn't work for 64-bit users, and there is a chance of this because of the signing requirements, then I will have to keep developing the UMDF driver I've been working on on the side.
Also, At the moment I have not included a 64-bit MceIr.dll (which is used to access the driver) but the current one should work (fingers crossed). I will however compile a 64-bit version as soon as I can figure out how to get Visual C++ Express to target 64-bit CPU's.
Thanks,
