Possible to integrate a certificate for unsigned drivers with NTLite?

Anyone know how/if I can integrate a (Fernando's win-RAID) certificate to be installed prior to (his) unsigned drivers? I think he actually suggests installing these drivers post-clean install (importing the cert first via Run as Admin or PowerRun), but maybe it's possible to get his .cmd file to run prior to integrated drivers? [Talking win10pro x64 and currently NTLiting 1607]

Either way, for now i'll just try my install without.

It's attached to this post, but here's how the script starts out (which may determine feasibiility for integration/NTLiting?):

Code: 
echo off &TITLE Win-RAID CA.cer install script
:WELCOME
cls
echo.
echo This will install the "Win-RAID CA.cer" as Trusted Root and Trusted Publisher Certificate.
echo.
set /P "START=Continue? (y/n): "

if '%START%' equ 'y' goto WORK
if '%START%' equ 'n' exit /B
goto WELCOME

:WORK
if not exist "%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\certutil.exe" goto CERTUTIL_NOT_FOUND
set "CA=%tmp%\Win-RAID CA.cer"

First I've ever heard of Fernando's RAID drivers. I'm making a backup of my array now. What can I expect when I update to his AMD RAID driver? (Which is almost as old as AMD's last, but one year newer.)

If certutil.exe can run at specialize stage in unattended and Win 10 setup allows it, add it there. Specialize is run at a very early stage as System user.
 
abbodi86 Helped me to install a certificate for .net on w7, i cant remember the topic name, if it was during setup or post install.

Here it is. Make sure you keep Certificate Tools.
 
What used to happen with AMD drivers is that a driver became signed only if it was installed by catalyst install manager, if you manually installed from an extracted package it wasnt signed. Drivers are in C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository. Some drivers are in C:\Windows\System32\DRVSTORE.

What i would do is make sure the driver is installed on a running system, hardware not vm, check the above folders to see which one its in, see if it has a catalogue file and add it from there.
 
oh noooo, (music fades in) all your helpful 'yes' answers put the auto trousers machine into motion, which means i can't just look at the moon dreaming of cheese n' crackers. Wallace, help me!!

Well, thank you so very muxas, pmikep, Kasual, and Clanger -Please don't wait up for me to finish building my rocket.

pmikep You are so lucky! That's like not knowing about Piaf or Miles or Lila Downs and having a world of sound to explore. Fernando is the elephant's knees, so you can expect stability, great knowledge, and 'make kindness great again' support. And if you get drawn into the whole Bios modding hole, then I guess I'll see you on the moon. Seriously, Fernando's been around a LONG time and for a LONG time has been known by the criminally expert (devs and coders and addon pack makers) as THE source for quality driver customization. I replaced all my Asus x99 drivers and an NVMe driver with his and my system was tickled as ivory. Bon Courage!

--edit--ok, thanks Clanger, that's proper thoughtful of you
 
If its an intel chipset then the driver is probably in windows already, intels installer is just inf files, remove the driver in Components, then add it back(with the cat file from a running system) for slipstreaming.

FWIW, I updated my AMD RAID driver to Fernando's latest. While it worked, I can't see any big difference in CrystalMark scores between his and the last official AMD version.
 
To be fair to Fernado, I didn't check to see if CPU usage is lower with his driver. But it was never high with AMD's.
