Hi,

Greetings from my vacation!

In general Windows Server 2016 versions require HLK certified drivers.
Our old tap-windows6 driver works only because it fits Microsoft's
exceptions.

It would love to have automatic OS detection in the MSI. For official
releases we'd have two separate drivers (for now):

- For Windows Server 2016
  - Comes with MS signature based on HLK test results
- For Windows 7/8/10, Windows Server 2008r2 and 2012r2
  - Comes with dual signatures
    - Cross-signed for everything except recent Windows 10
    - Attestation signed for recent Windows 10

Getting a single driver that works across the board would prohibitively
expensive time- and money-vise. This is because we'd have to pass WLK,
HCR and HLK tests on pretty much every supported Windows version known
to man in every bitness.

So we need either auto-detection (=best) or separate installers. I will
do the latter for starters so that my vacation is not ruined. But soon
after we should switch to the MSI-based installer with OS- auto-detection.
