Zadig app extract driver file only intall on same pc create it?

[qloi2002]

Hello every one, I used zadig app to extract usb_driver folder and can install on this PC but got error when install on another PC. I want using same driver package to install multi PC. How to resolve it? Thanks all!

This won't work, since Zadig needs to install a certificate for the driver package signature it creates into the current PC's certificate store, which means that installation will only succeed on the PC where you ran Zadig.

If you want to install on another PC, you need to export the certificate from Trusted Publishers from the source PC to install it on the destination PC.

Basically, you need to open certmgr, go to Trusted Publishers, find the USB\VID####& PID_#### (libwdi autogenerated) that matches your device, select All tasks → Export... and then, on the destination PC use All tasks → Import...

Thank a lot your support! I tried exporting .cer file from source pc and import it into dest pc then update gain driver from folder include driver file but same error. Have I missing anything?

Have I missing anything?

For one thing, you don't say what error you are seeing. Please report the exact error message you get, because otherwise, we just can't help you.

[qloi2002]

it's show "A problem was encountered while attempting to add the driver to the store". PS: if I delete .cat file it show "the third-party INF does not contain digital signature info"

[pbatard]

My guess is that you probably did not import the certificate properly on the target computer.

It would help if you copy/pasted the last section from your C:\Windows\INF\setupapi.dev.log that starts with Section start 2024/02/29 ##.##.#### and that will contain a much more detailed error report.

On source pc, has several extension file, what type we need?

[pbatard]

Driver package catalog file certificate does not belong to Trusted Root Certificates, and Code Integrity is enforced.

If you see this, then it means that either you did properly install the certificate you exported from the first PC to the second PC, or you exported the wrong certificate, or you are running in an environment on the second PC where certificates installed in Trusted Publishers are not trusted to install driver packages (which for instance is the case by default for Windows 11 for ARM64).

I'm afraid that none of these matters have to do with libwdi/Zadig, since libwdi/Zadig is designed for driver installation on the same PC it is run, so, if you choose to extract a driver package on one PC for installation on another PC, there's only so far we will go to try to support you, and we are going to assume that you do know what you are doing.

All this to say that, at this stage, it's entirely up to you to figure out the issue and the expectation is that you are familiar enough with the Windows driver installation process (and its requirements) to do so.

If that is not the case, then I can only advise that you use Zadig on the second PC, as, again, driver creation on one PC for installation on a different PC is something that only experts should attempt.

Ok I will check this again Thank you so much for your help!
