Driver Package Installer (DPInst) with the "/s" (silent) flag fails to install a signed driver on Windows XP. The certificate is a valid one (an Authenticode certificate) but not a WHQL one. How can I fix this problem?

If the device driver is signed, you need to add its publisher to trusted publisher list. follow steps mentioned in below article

after this silent installation will work fine.

DPInst has two "silencing" flags --
/q
(Quiet) and/sw
(Supress Wizard)./q
implies Quiet but also probably (I didn't test!) sets DI_QUIETINSTALL when issuing the DIF_REMOVE request. Apparently this makes the SetupAPI library (of Windows XP) go "they're trying to go sneaky on me!" and reject the installation if the certificate isn't a treasured WHQL[*] one.Note that DPInst itself ignores the certificate's validity when the
/lm
(Legacy Mode) flag is set, but it's the underlying Windows that'll reject it still.The solution is to use the
/sw
flag (along with/lm
).BTW, I'm still yet to check the implications of this - e.g. does Windows pop-up a "STOP Installation" prompt box under some configurations? I'll test and update this answer accordingly.
The "STOP Installation" prompt" looks like:
[*] ... or another Windows System Component Verification certificate, but that's besides the point.
