Software Deployment

From what I can read in that log above, the driver you are trying to install does not have a correct security catalogue file associated with it (eg: a 'filename.cat' file).

Don't quote me on this (because I think you can change the behaviour in the inf file), but the security catalogue file (.cat) needs to be the same name is the driver installation file (.inf).

Thank you for your suggestion
Unfortunately it did not works :

Hello verti,

What I was trying to suggest is that the security catalogue file is not associated with the driver installation file. DIFXAPP inly works with signed drivers (i.e. a '.inf' file with an associated '.cat' file.)

Within the INF file, you should find a keyname called "CatalogFile". Ensure that the keyname value is the same as the security catalogue file (.cat), and both files install to the same folder.

Also, from the SDK:
Driver packages must be signed with a Microsoft Windows Hardware Quality Labs (WHQL) signature or a Microsoft Authenticode signature. Note, however, that DIFxApp can be configured in legacy mode to install unsigned driver packages on Windows 2000 and later. For more information about legacy mode, see Installing Unsigned Driver Packages in Legacy Mode.

Hello,

Yes, I did wrote in my INF file CatalogFile=netidrive.cat .
I also set the Flags (in MsiDriverPackages table) with 8 (the correct value to install unsigned driver package) and failed with the following error:

I note that the error code reported in your base note was 0xE0000244. This translates as

ERROR_SIGNATURE_OSATTRIBUTE_MISMATCH

The certificate is not valid for the current Windows version or it is expired.

So, probably an obvious question, but is the driver you are trying to install definitely the correct one for the target OS platform ?

If it isn't, it could account for why there are problems installing it in DIFx legacy mode as well ...

Hi,

I think your driver is not signed drivers......diffx installs only signed drivers......have you checked with dpinst first whether driver is signed or not?


mayur

The latest Driver Installation Tools will install unsigned drivers if you set the legacy-mode flag appropriately.
