Windows 8 requires signed drivers

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

install windows and and try to install the shipped drivers, the setup regrets 
the install due to not existing signature

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

i would expect singed drivers ;)

What version of the Arduino software are you using? On what operating
system?  Which Arduino board are you using?

Arduino Software 1.0.2
Windows 8 Pro 64bit
Arduino UNO

If you need more information, please ask, but this needs to be fixed fast and 
should be known since windows 7 warns about unsigned drivers :D

Actualy you can install unsigned drivers on windows 8.

Pass the mouse on the lower right corner and chose "Settings"
Then "Change PC Settings" -> "General" and on the bottom under "Advanced 
startup" you click "Restart Now"
After that you chose "Troubleshoot" -> "Advanced options" -> "Startup Settings" 
and click "Restart"
Now the pc have restarted and shows some options.
Press the key 7 for "Disable driver signature enforcement"

There you go. Now you can install any unsigned driver. Keep in mind that every 
time you need to install these drivers you need to boot this way.

Hope this is usefull

As developer i know these settings ... its how I use it, but its more a hack 
than a real solution especially for kids ...

I have exactly the same issue. And it is even worse for us. There is no way 
Microsoft will certificate any application which is using unsigned Drivers. 
Therefore the logo "Certificated for Windows 8" and the related Windows 8 Store 
is not accessible for apps which are using the Arduino Hardware.
Is there any way to sign this driver myself. Any way to get the source code? Or 
is there any work in Progress?

Thanks for any help!

We are working on a signed driver for win and mac, we'll deliver it as soon as 
it ready.

A signed driver is available here:

http://downloads.arduino.cc/arduino_drivers_win_signed_test1.zip

this is a all-in-one driver for all boards that is going to replace the old 
ones: please test it on EVERY windows box you own (also XP, Vista, 7 etc.), and 
report back if it is working.

Merged upstream, the new drivers will be available from the next release (1.0.4 
and 1.5.2)
