Windows 2008 virtio drivers?

[mangoo]

Does anyone have success using KVM virtio drivers with Windows 2008 (64 bit)?

I tried using NetKVM and viostor listed here:

http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/WindowsGuestDrivers/Download_Drivers

But as I try to install these drivers, I get "error code 39" when installing any of these drivers ("driver is possibly damaged").

I could make it work with Windows 2008 32 bit (both disk and net).
With a 64 bit version of Windows 2008, neither disk nor net virtio driver worked.

maybe this link helps a bit.

It wasn't a problem with driver signing - in 64 bit Windows 2008, the device was "broken", according to Windows.

Could be that the drivers in that link would behave better - I have no way to try anymore, since I have a 32 bit version running already and it's enough for me.
