New Reg Tweak : Driver Signing

[wass]

Well, this tweak would be usefull during automatic installation for drivers; you can choose if you want to ignore Driver Signing or not.

I personally looked for this because under win xp Sp2 installation, I had some driver asking me to continue with the installation or not.

well this is it.

; Ignore - Install the software anyway and don't ask for my approval

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Driver Signing]"Policy"=dword:00000000

; Warn - Prompt me each time choose an action

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Driver Signing]

"Policy"=dword:00000001

; Block - Never install driver software

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Driver Signing]

"Policy"=dword:00000002

I Guess the Intersting one would be the first one hehe

You can use:

DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
This will force Setup to install drivers that may not be WHQL certified. This is used in conjunction with OemPnPDriversPath.

in your answer file winnt.sif

since sp2 for xp this doesn`t work.

i don`t know why but i become advance notice if i install drivers without a digital sign.

sure it does. i install unsigned cmedia drivers during my SP2 uA and it doesn't give me any problem.

if i put the driversign to warn i get advance notice`s at all non sign driver.if i put it to ignore i get only one message.....

sorry for my bad english

DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore doesnt work always. patched/hacked ati catalyst drivers are another example where it doesnt work.

but the key wass mentioned isnt new either.

[germ]

habe ich das richtig verstanden das seit sp2 es zu problemen mit der treiber signatur geben kann??

[Kleopatra]

Ja, hast du.

1. set registry keys (from first post)

2. install drivers

that has resolve this problem for my unattended install

[germ]

it doesn`t work here....

i get messages if i install my sounddriver...

1. set registry keys (from first post)

2. install drivers

that doesn`t resolve my problem.

auf deutsch..

ich bekomme weiterhin warnmeldungen wenn ich unsignierte treiber installiere.ob es eine slipstream oder xp+sp1 update auf sp2 macht keinen unterschied.unter sp1 war alles ok.

My XP SP2 CD has prompted also during the peripheral driver installs. So DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore doesn't work here either. Like AutomaticUpdates=Yes by the way. I've always got the "Help Protect" page whatever

If i apply the reg tweak, it'll be done at T-12, after the peripherals installation so how can it work ?

Thank you.

[Kleopatra]

Hm, dann ist das Problem wohl verschiedener Art bei den Treibern.

in English

Than are the problems different for drivers.

[Lucius Snow]

Any news about that issue ? I still get the prompt during the installation process.

Run a batch file at the T-39 using DetachProgram. Include this:

REG ADD "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Driver Signing" /t REG_DWORD /v Policy /d 0 /f
REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Driver Signing" /t REG_BINARY /v Policy /d 00 /f
REG ADD "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Non-Driver Signing" /t REG_BINARY /v Policy /d 00 /f
REG ADD "HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Driver Signing" /t REG_DWORD /v Policy /d 0 /f

Does it work?

[j4ever]

when is the t-39? what kind of bat? where do i put it? etc. is it guirunonce? runonceex? what is it?

when is the t-39?  what kind of bat? where do i put it?  etc. is it guirunonce? runonceex?  what is it?

t-39 is straight after textmode and the start of gui setup.

*.bat is a bat file.

Call it from winnt.sif.

Fixes driver signing problems?

Ok?
