I'm trying to install some unsigned drivers to a lot of computers while deploying them with Windows Vista Home Premium. I use devcon.exe to force Vista to use the correct drivers and that works, the problem is that I get a dialog about this drivers being unsigned. I solved this with an AutoIt script that pressed the correct button.

But now I got problems, I'm supposed to install this machines on multiple languages, my old AutoIt script looked for a button with the text "Install anyway" and pressed the button. Now the text varies depending on language and I have to many languages to keep track of.

Is there any good solution to this problem?

I am not sure if this is exactly what you're looking for (as it may require some reboots), but you might be able to use the Driver Signature Enforcement Overrider to waive the pop-up boxes.

Do you know if their test signing works on other machines than the one used when test signing the driver? –  Glimmet Dec 8 '09 at 8:52

Isn't this a case for pre-loading the drivers in the local driverstore? I thought that would allow you to include unsigned drivers, no questions asked? You might need to use package manager for this, or the command line pnputil.

pnputil doesn't seem to do the work, I checked microsofts technet and found the following condition for this to work "The driver package is signed with a valid digital certificate, and that certificate is in the Trusted Publishers store." Do you know of any package manager I could use that could solve this? –  Glimmet Dec 8 '09 at 8:46
