Instead of using the make file can you build nirlpk.sys using MS WDK 8.0 on VS2012?

Question

After downloading the NI nimhddk_windowsWDM-2 and -1
Instead of using the make file I built nirlpk.sys using MS WDK 8.0 on VS2012
I copied the source files out of the dir /nirlpk to the MS template for WDM drivers
It built after turning warnings as errors off.
After uninstalling the NI_DMX driver I tried to install the RLP driver that consisted of nirlp.inf and nirlpk.sys
I got this message:
Windows found driver software for your device but encounted and error while attempting to install it.
PCI-6602 RLP WDM
Driver is not intended for this platform
Is the nirlp.inf file correct for loading on Windows 7 64 bit?
Any ideas?

I have now altered the example along lines
suggested by ghaneman*, who pointed out that
a trusted application did not need to use the
FileOpenService/FileContents just to get an
InputStream.
* Mentioned on 'File associations / sandboxed app.'

The altered code is..
/** Load a file into the editing area.
@param path A string representing the path to the desired file. */
public void loadFile(String path) {
    // first try as if this were a trusted application..
    if (!path.equals(".")) {
        try {
            FileInputStream inputStream = new
                FileInputStream(path);
            loadFile(inputStream);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            // we do not have trust, use the FileOpenService
            loadFileByFileService(path);
    } else {
        // we only have a directory, use the FileOpenService
        loadFileByFileService(path);
public void loadFileByFileService(String path) {
    try {
        if (fileOpenService==null) {
            fileOpenService = (FileOpenService)ServiceManager.
                lookup("javax.jnlp.FileOpenService");
        fileContents = fileOpenService.openFileDialog(path, xtns);
        // the user may have cancelled the action..
        if (fileContents!=null) {
            loadFile( fileContents.getInputStream() );
    } catch(UnavailableServiceException use) {
        use.printStackTrace();
    } catch(IOException ioe) {
        ioe.printStackTrace();
}If the user launches the trusted version, and
selects 'always trust' for the (self signed)
certificate, the end user can thereafter double
click a file and see it appear in the application's
editing area with no further user interaction.
