It is okay that the user has to accept our certificate. Is there a way to
suppress the warning until the user plugs in the USB device? The message
would break our unattended install.

As we understand it, 64-bit is only a requirement for Vista and Windows 7?

I don't know if they still do WHQL for XP only. They will sign for XP and
even 2k, but most if not all submissions must have Vista and probably soon
Win7.

No, the prompt can't be postponed. If you preinstall your certificate on
all your users' machines then that will avoid the prompt.
