Silent install works except for driver

Foobartender:
Sorry for reviving this old thread. I stumbled upon it and thought I'd share how I do it.

  1. Install manually on some computer. When the trust dialog appears check "always trust".
  2. Start the Windows certificates manager (Start -> Run... -> certlm.msc). Find the Arduino certificate under "Trusted Publishers". Export it.
  3. Add the command
    certutil -addstore TrustedPublisher ""
    to your deployment before running the installer. It should now be able to silently install the drivers.

Hi Foobartender,

I tried following your procedure to get my driver installation done. But, unfortunately, it doesn't work.
I am working on a project and I don't have admin rights.
Here's the procedure I followed:

  1. I installed Arduino ZIP format (without steup)
  2. I retrieved "Arduino LLC" from arduino.cat file (folder "drivers".
  3. Then, I installed it under "Trusted Publishers" then exported it to the folder in which I have only "arduino.inf", "arduino.cat" files.
  4. Finally, I entered certutil -addstore TrustedPublisher "<full path to the exported certificated file". There, I got an error informing me that I need elevation as "certutil" is for admins.

Moreover, I noticed that the certificate was expired on 18/01/2017 though I've installed the newest arduino software.

Can you please help me to install the drivers? Thanks a lot!
