I don't know for sure as I do not own a 64 bit machine (nor Vista 64
bit). Anyway, from my understanding,

1. in order for the driver (.sys) to load, it must be signed;

2. in order for Vista (64bit) to accept your .inf, it must be signed,
   too.

If this is correct, the question is: Are we able to install a USB
driver (WDM, not legacy kernel-mode driver) without an INF? AFAIK, this
is not possible, but I may be wrong.

But, again, remember: This is only guessing, as I do not own a system to
test this.

Regards,
   Spiro.
