DriverSigning UDF

[engine]

I was having problems using Adlib to click on windows driver signing popups, on some of my scripts. So I made a search on the web, trying to find a better solution. Turns out it's not as simple as changing a simple registry key! I eventually found this code written in C -> http://openvpn.net/archive/openvpn-users/2...1/msg00341.html Finally I decided to translate it to AutoIt so I could include it on my scripts. Turns out it really works!

So here is the result:

DriverSigning.au3

It works at least on Windows XP SP3. And Windows XP SP2 according to the original author. This code is around since 2004!

To use this UDF I recommend something like this:

#include "DriverSigning.au3"

; Backup current state
$iCU = RegRead("HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Driver Signing", "BehaviorOnFailedVerify")
$iLM = RegRead("HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Driver Signing", "Policy")
If Not @error Then
    $iLM = Number($iLM)
    _SetDriverSigning()
EndIf

; Do your stuff here

Func OnAutoItExit()
    ; Restore back to original state
    If $iLM <> "" Then _SetDriverSigning($iLM, $iCU)
EndFunc

This way you won't even see the popup!

Enjoy!

It's missing Then in line:

If Not @error Then _SetDriverSigning()

Other then that it works great. Thank You very much!! I looked for this for years to put this in my program (Pro-S Hardware Installer)!!

Thanks.

Looks like that registry key "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Driver Signing" doesn't work from my Windows Unattended. I checked and it doesn't even exist. It's written when you change driver signing policy under Windows, so it works from regular Windows. Also there is another key ("HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Driver Signing", "BehaviorOnFailedVerify"). But writing to it makes no difference under my tests. However I will include it in the next release.

Regards.

Updated.

Now can set both at the user level and at the machine level.

This is based on the behavior observed in Windows XP.

Here is an example of my script to install Virtual CloneDrive.

Updated.

It was failing in some situations. The "CRYPT_VERIFYCONTEXT" constant solved the problem for me.

UDF revised internally for greater simplicity.

Use devcon.exe (get it from Microsoft website). It should be able to do what you need.

I have allready tried that road.

Used uniextractor on the nsis package and inside there it was a driver folder.

Then I used this command:

devcon.exe install VClone.inf @ROOT\SCSIADAPTER\0000

Device node created. Install is complete when drivers are installed...

Updating drivers for @ROOT\SCSIADAPTER\0000 from C:\Documents and Settings\Admin

istrator\Skrivebord\imgburn\SetupVirtualCloneDrive5\Ó\VClone.inf.

devcon.exe failed.

[thor918]

hehe.

think I got it:

devcon.exe install VClone.inf ROOT\vclone

Edit:

nope. seems to still be something missing...

UDF updated.

It should now work with AutoIt v3.3.0.0 as well as previous versions.
