REQ Virtual CloneDrive 5111 silent method

**Astalavista** · May 3, 2005

anyone have the silent install method for this baby?

**MHz** · May 3, 2005

It is a NSIS installer. Use /S to install.

Look out for the unsigned driver window + the reboot dialog, that will popup.

**Astalavista** · May 3, 2005

@mhz

I got as far as the /s then i get blocked by the Unsigned Driver.

I suspect that may not be a problem with your winnt.sif entry for unsigned drivers?

Though, this Au3 script will check for it. It will close the reboot dialog as well.

Sort the code with the comments showing arrows.

Is there a way to disable unsigned driver window completely?

is it a service that we can turn of via registry tweaks?

**coucou** · June 1, 2005

@MHz: I tested today yr .au3 installer with the latest release Virtual CloneDrive 5.1.1.1 , It check for unsigned drivers NOT close the reboot dialog.

Here bellow i made mine which check for unsigned drivers and close the reboot dialog. Tested working

Enjoy

There is a way to disable the unsigned driver prompt for virtual clone drive in vista sp1. I mean a command line i can use during the silent installation. something like

comand to disable unsigned driver....

start /wait virtualclonedrive....

command to enable unsigned driver...

I am pretty sure I have gotten this to work.

Long winded approach though.

First you need to start the install manually and when it stops at the untrusted driver stage look in the TEMP folder and find the sub folder that contains the extracted Clone Drive Files. Take a copy of the vclone.cat file in this folder.

Cancel the installation. This may still say this has installed but the driver will not work. Just got to Add/Remove programs and remove it.

Using the vclone.cat file from the files you copied right click and select properties.

Select Digital Signatures

Select Elaborate Bytes AG in the Signature list box.

Click Details

On the Digital Signature Details window select the General Tab

Click View Certificate

On the Certificate window select the Details Tab

Click Copy to File

On the Certificate Export Wizard window click Next

I chose the Cryptographic Message Syntax Standard - PKCS #7 Certificates (.P7B) radio button and then ticked the Include all Certificates in the certification path if possible.

Click Next

Save the file to where you want to keep it.

Click Next

Click Finish

Click Ok

Close all the open windows.

Now to pre import the certificate into the certificate store so that the software will install silently I used the following command line with administrative priviledges.

certutil -addstore "TrustedPublisher" vclone.p7b

This import the certificate that we exported before and now run

setupvirtualclone.exe /S

to install silently.

So with a little prepartion it should be possible to completely silently install Virtual Clone Drive

With these two commands.

certutil -addstore "TrustedPublisher" vclone.p7b

setupvirtualclone.exe /S

Hi There,

I've tried the certificate import method on XP, to no avail.

I've adapted some code, credit to the following:

/* This program turns the Driver signing Policy On/Off for Windows XP
 * Written by Stefan `Sec` Zehl <sec@xxxxxx>, 15.11.2004

 */

See also, at http://www.911cd.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=19316

and have come up with the attached exe file. Fixed some basic logic bugs. Works on my XP like this:

@echo off
SigVerifOnOff.exe off
start /wait SetupVirtualCloneDrive5432.exe /S
SigVerifOnOff.exe on
del "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Desktop\Virtual CloneDrive.lnk"
cscript /nologo fixLetter.vbs

I also ripped most of this code form somewhere to ensure a drive letter. Note that each instance of VCD will be changing instance numbers, so some more smarts needs to be built into it:

DeviceID1 = "SCSI\CDROM&VEN_ELBY&PROD_CLONEDRIVE&REV_1.4\1&2AFD7D61&0&000"

strComputer = "." 
Dim nRtn, WshShell 
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") 
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2") 
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_CDROMDrive") 

Dim driveFound 
driveFound = False

For Each objItem in colItems 
'WScript.Echo objItem.DeviceID & "=" & objItemDrive
If driveFound Then Exit For
Select Case (objItem.DeviceID) 
   Case DeviceID1
	 x = ChgDrv ("I:", objItem.Drive)
	driveFound = True
   Case DeviceID_2
	 x = ChgDrv ("I:", objItem.Drive) 
	driveFound = True
   Case DeviceID3 
	 x = ChgDrv ("I:", objItem.Drive) 
	driveFound = True
   Case DeviceID4
	 x = ChgDrv ("I:", objItem.Drive) 
	driveFound = True
   Case DeviceID5
	 x = ChgDrv ("I:", objItem.Drive) 
	driveFound = True
  End Select 
Next 


Function ChgDrv(Drive, theDrive) 
If theDrive <> Drive Then 
	wscript.echo theDrive & " => " & Drive 

	 'Create File 
	 strFilename = "chgdrv" & Left(Drive,1) & ".txt" 
	 Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") 
	 Set objFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile(strFilename) 
	 objFile.Close 

	 'Write Data to File 
	 Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile (strFilename, 2) 
	 objFile.WriteLine "select volume " & theDrive 
	 objFile.WriteLine "assign letter=" & Drive 
	 objFile.WriteLine "exit" 
	 objFile.Close 

	 'Run Diskpart calling the script just created 
	 strRun = "diskpart /s " & strFilename 
	 nRtn = wshShell.Run(strRun, 2 , True) 

	 'Delete File 
	 objFSO.DeleteFile(strFilename) 
Else
	WScript.Echo "Drive is already " & Drive
End If 
End Function

Let's see if this .exe posts...

SigVerifOnOff.exe

**rodyefew** · August 2, 2009

And the single-file source code for the same exe above. Compiles in VS2008.

Doesn't need / use any funny header / resource file (stdafx, etc).

As a person who doesn't understand C++ very well at all, those files confuse the nuts out of me.

Just remove them after creating a new project, paste this source code in, and try to compile.

I hope MS doesn't change the algo.

Just want to add that the version posted above relies on VC++ 2008 runtime being installed.

I'm attaching a version that should be statically linked (slightly larger).

Please let me know how you go!

I know this is an older post, but do you have updated source that you could post or link to? Thanks for the tool. I've been looking for a way to automate the installation of VirtualCloneDrive for a while now.

I've only tested this on XP 32-bit. I dare-say that there may be UAC issues and other untolds with any combination of Win V/7/64. Will be interested in hearing feedback. Here's the somewhat modified code. Full credits where due.

#include <windows.h>

I appreciate you sharing the source, I always learn something by looking through the inner workings of a software project. But would you mind also sharing a compiled copy for convenience? Thanks in advance.

Cheers and Regards

Ah - there's two versions linked a few posts back in this thread (just tried to download and it worked).

One version requires VC2008 runtime and the other (larger) one doesn't.
