"FSL Virtual COM Driver" certificate

[federicosbalchi]

The virtual COM example in MQX 4.1 has a driver for Windows (file fsl_ucwxp.inf) that works well for Windows 7, but in Windows 8.1 it is painful to install because it's not certified by Microsoft.

We were able to install it using some dirty magic, but this involves booting windows in maintenance mode and it will not work when accessing PC remotely.

Anybody knows if there is a workaround or, better, a certified driver available?

Thanks in advance for your help.
