OK - to clear this up.
Modifying the INF file will not let you install a driver if you do not
actually have a 65-bit x64 driver.
INF file modification has NOTHING to do with getting a driver that is 32-bit
to install on a 64-bit system.
You cannot use a 32-bit driver on a 64-bit system - INF modification only
allows a single INF file to be used to install drivers on multiple
platforms -- by allowing the driver selection wizard for each platform type
to pick the correct DRIVER FILE out of the package.
The set of files included with the INF must include a 64-bit x64 driver
file - the inf only drivers the install wizards or processes.
