Suppressing the "Windows Logo Testing" Warning

[GordonD]

I have created an installer that includes the installation of some unsigned USB drivers. The installer works fine but Windows presents a warning dialog stating that the driver is unsigned. Is there any way to suppress this warning from within the installer? According to a KB article on Microsoft's web site (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/236029/en-us) it can be suppressed for unattended installs by placing:

DriverSigningPolicy = Ignore

in the [Unattended] section of a setup file. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi Gordon,

Please note that the article you mentioned refers only to Windows 2000. Also, when you add a driver in Advanced Installer the approach in the article is already set (the Install unsigned driver packages and driver packages that have missing files option in the Drivers page). Please note that for XP and Vista this message cannot be suppressed.

Cosmin,

The KB article here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/293765/en-us states that the message can be suppressed for Windows XP using the same basic mechanism. I do have the "Install unsigned driver packages and driver packages that have missing files" option checked and it does allow the installer to install the drivers, albeit with the warning dialog.

Hi Gordon,

This knowledge base refers to silent installations (unattended). Also, I'm not sure if it refers to any installation package, I think it refers to Windows updates. From my knowledge, this message can be avoided only by using signed drivers.
