What are the driver signing options in Vista 32bit
Posted by hq4000@hotmail.com on May 12th, 2008


(The Vista group is very un-responsive, I am reposting it here.)

With Windows XP, there are 3 options for non-WHQL certified driver
installation:
1. Ignore: the driver will allow to install as if it were WHQL
certified
2. Warn: user is prompted to continue or stop
3. Block: the driver won't be installed.

It seems like Vista only has two of XP equivalent options:
1. Bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks Off --> Ignore in XP
2. Bcdedit.exe /set nointegritychecks On --> Warn in XP

Is there such thing as 'Block' in Vista 32bit?

Not correct, Vista's nointegritychecks is only about Vista64 kernel mode
signing, not about WHQL.

Thanks for the correction. So, what are the WHQL certification
options in Vista?
