Urgent help needed installing a pesky Xerox DocuColor 242 Unattended

**clivebuckwheat** · August 25, 2012

I have a script to install a Xerox DocuClor 242 printer driver.yet the warning still plagues me.

bcdedit.exe /set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

bcdedit.exe /set loadoptions TESTSIGNINGON

net stop spooler


reg.exe ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Ports" /v \\Myprintserver\4G11P-DocuColor242 /t REG_SZ /f


net start spooler

printui.exe /ia /m "DocuColor 242-252-260 PCL" /h "x64" /v "Type 3 - User Mode" /f "\\Myprintserver\drivers\Xerox\DocuColor 242\PRNTDRVR\Pcl6_drvr\Win_2K_XP_VISTA\oemsetup.inf"

RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /if /b "4G11P-DocuColor242" /r "\\Myprintserver\4G11P-DocuColor242" /m "DocuColor 242-252-260 PCL"

The problem is the driver is not signed, and I get the popup in the attached screenshot, if i click install the driver the printer installs fine. I have tried to disable the Digital driver signing under windows 7 using

bcdedit.exe /set loadoptions DDISABLE_INTEGRITY_CHECKS

bcdedit.exe /set loadoptions TESTSIGNINGON

Here is the oemsetup.inf

The problem is the driver is not signed, and I get the popup in the attached screenshot, if i click install the driver the printer installs fine.

What about the good old way of AutoIt or nircmd clicking the "OK"?

jaclaz

**clivebuckwheat** · August 25, 2012

I am really not good with auto it?

Nircmd can click ok?

**jaclaz** · August 25, 2012

Nircmd can click ok?

Sure , it has a few ways, cannot say which one will be suited to the specific message/window....

How would I do it with autoit?

**allen2** · August 26, 2012

To disable driver signing in Windows 7 try following this tutorial and then reboot.

Also you script indeed disable driver signing but you need a reboot for it to be disabled as bcdedit only change boot parameter and as stated in thistutorial.

As for autoit, if you still want to do it this way, there are many way of doing it, but in all cases, you'll need to wait for the security check to appear with either a sleep command (not recommended) or a loop waiting for the right windows to appear (you can use the "autoit windows info" tool to get the need infos from the window) then focus on the windows and then send a tab and a space (or enter) with the sendkey command. When you'll get some code, if you're struggling with it post it to the right forum and you'll get help.

Some suitable examples can be found here:

http://www.coretechnologies.com/products/AlwaysUp/AutoIt/

The approach with AutoIt or with nircmd is essentially the same.

You must find a way to "identify" the window, then "wait" until it comes up, then let the program "click" on the right button.

I tried the tutorial with a reboot and the dialog box still pops up unfortunately.

**clivebuckwheat** · August 26, 2012

I tried to click install with autoit to get the driver installed. It seems the Window is not activate. How do I get around this?

My Windows Security Script

WinWait("Windows Security", "")
WinActive("Windows Security", "")
Send("{TAB}")
Send("{ENTER}")
Exit(0)

Any Help would be great as I am not very skilled with autoit.

My Windows Security Script

Use this:

http://www.coretechnologies.com/products/AlwaysUp/AutoIt/SendEnterKeyToWindow.au3

as a base (seemingly you only need to add to it a "send TAB" command), i.e. replace:

$result = ControlSend($windowName, "", "", "{ENTER}")

with

$result = ControlSend($windowName, "", "", "{TAB}")
$result = ControlSend($windowName, "", "", "{ENTER}")

try with logging enabled...

jaclaz

**clivebuckwheat** · August 26, 2012

I got it working with this.

WinWait("Windows Security", "")
WinActivate("Windows Security")
Send("{TAB}")
Send("{ENTER}")
Exit(0)

Now the issue is I need the script to loop, once the security warning box appears I need the autoit script to execute. Right now once the security warning box appears I must run the autoit script manually.

Try running it BEFORE (that should be the idea of the WinWait command), no need to loop... i.e. call it with the same batch with which you start the install.

http://www.autoitscript.com/autoit3/docs/functions/WinWait.htm

If you omit the timeout and - for any reason - the windows does not appear or is not "sensed" the script will "wait forever", so giving it a "reasonable" timeout may be a smart thing to do.

Here is the batch file I do the execution of the printer script in as well as the autoit script.

 \\MyPrintserver\WindowsSecurityInstallYes.exe

net stop spooler

reg.exe ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Ports" /v \\MyPrintserver\4G11P-DocuColor242 /t REG_SZ /f


net start spooler

printui.exe /ia /m "DocuColor 242-252-260 PCL" /h "x64" /v "Type 3 - User Mode" /f " \\MyPrintserver\drivers\Xerox\DocuColor 242\PRNTDRVR\Pcl6_drvr\Win_2K_XP_VISTA\oemsetup.inf"

RUNDLL32 PRINTUI.DLL,PrintUIEntry /if /b "4G11P-DocuColor242" /r " \\MyPrintserver\4G11P-DocuColor242" /m "DocuColor 242-252-260 PCL"

Here is the autoit script with pause


WinWait("[CLASS:Windows Security]", "", 45)
WinActivate("Windows Security")
Send("{TAB}")
Send("{ENTER}")
Exit(0)

The problem is I must run the autoit script before I run the line that generates the windows security dialog.

I call the autoit script from the batch file, the batch file pauses for 45 seconds runs the autoit script and exits and THEN runs the printui.exe /ia /m "DocuColor 242-252-260 PCL" /h "x64" /v "Type 3 - User Mode" /f " \\MyPrintserver\drivers\Xerox\DocuColor 242\PRNTDRVR\Pcl6_drvr\Win_2K_XP_VISTA\oemsetup.inf" which generates the windows security warning.

You could either integrate everything in your autoit script (using runwait and run command) or modify your batch script like this:

start /separate "process security warning" \\MyPrintserver\WindowsSecurityInstallYes.exe

Hmmm.

http://ss64.com/nt/start.html

Options for 16-bit WINDOWS programs only
/SEPARATE Start in separate memory space (more robust)
/SHARED Start in shared memory space (default)

I would try with a simpler:

START "process security warning" \\MyPrintserver\WindowsSecurityInstallYes.exe

and then try with:

START "process security warning" /MIN \\MyPrintserver\WindowsSecurityInstallYes.exe
