I've spent all night researching this without a solution.
I'm trying to verify the digital signature of a file in the drives folder (C:\Windows\System32\drivers*.sys) pick whatever one you want. I know that the code is correct because if you move the file from that folder to C:\ the test works.
WinVerifyTrust gives error 80092003

CryptQueryObject gives error 80092009

What's the deal?
0x80092003 = CRYPT_E_FILE_ERROR = An error occurred while reading or writing to the file.
0x80092009 = CRYPT_E_NO_MATCH = No match when trying to find the object.
I'm guessing you're running on a 64-bit machine and WOW64 file system redirection is redirecting you to syswow64\drivers, which is empty. You can disable redirection with Wow64DisableWow64FsRedirection().
if you right click and view properties of file can you see a digital signature? most likely your file is part of a catalogue and you need to use the catalogue API to extract the cert from cert DB and verify it.
