I am able to _build_ the **XPSDrvSmpl** for **x64** but I am unable to install the driver. These are the steps that I take to install the driver:
* I build the driver for x64 and it creates a package folder and package.cer
* I install the package.cer certificate file
* I got Device Manager -> Print queues
* Select Action -> Add Legacy Hardware
* Hit Next in the Wizard and select _Install the hardware that I manually select from list (Advanced_
* Select _Printers_ from _Common hardware types_
* For _Use an existing port_ choose _FILE (Print to file)_
* Choose _Have Disk..._ and select the INF file for _Copy manufacturers files from_
* Select OK
I get the following error:

Does anyone how to get around this or the correct steps for deploying and testing a driver on your local machine. Any help is appreciated - thanks!
