hello

we have big problems to install inf files under xp automaticially.

we need this to provide remote software installations. so we have developed
a windows service, which should install the inf files. this service is
written in perl, wich
acts as a remote procedure call module. so the server conencts to the client
and calls a
run_inf function. this function calls the system command:

rundll32 syssetup,SetupInfObjectInstallAction DefaultInstall 132 <inf file>

but that didn't work, cause xp wants to have a signature for all files, wich
should be installed.

in the setupapi.log following error will be displayed:
[2002/09/06 14:43:37 1428.1]
#-198 Command line processed: C:\WINDOWS\system32\RUNDLL32.EXE
SETUPAPI.DLL,InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 128 C:\fwinst\or9_2.inf
#-011 Installing section [DefaultInstall] from "C:\fwinst\or9_2.inf".
#E359 An unsigned or incorrectly signed file "c:\fwinst\or9_2.inf" blocked
(server install). Error 1168: Element nicht gefunden.
#W187 Install failed, attempting to restore original files.

but if we execute this command locally, the inf file will be installed.
however there will be generated lots of warning (listed above), the
instalaltion completed successfully.

confusion feature in xp.

did'nt have problems with that under windows nt and 2k.
